One hit follows the next (in the original)

The fact that Sony posthumously published works of Michael Jackson, I'm very skeptical about. Who the supplements of albums, which he published in his lifetime by reading may find that he was at least a co-producer with most titles, or is often referred to as the only producer, such as the Earth Song. Now in its name new songs that have been mixed ready without the possibility of its Zutuns to send in the sale I consider kind of artistic sacrilege.

After all, the original recordings are at Xscape unlike Michael now (at least in the deluxe version) with on the CD. This and the fact that I already knew 5 pieces of the album and this very much heard (just not yet on a high-end system), convinced me to buy - which I regret in any way.

By editing the footage pieces Jacksons should appear on time, ready for the 21st century. Unfortunately, I realized, however, that ready for the 21st century is well, we process each track by always the same mainstream scheme and add this powerful as possible bass added so that each piece beautifully comes equal and thus well in the one-sided radio program when listening fits Granted 2 titles I liked really well with a new look (Love Never Felt So Good and A Place with No Name (which has been put into perspective very quickly in the latter after hearing of the original), then already allows the whole, however, after strong. Blue Gangster for example, captures still quite promising, then dissolves, however, in my opinion, in an unbearable sound muddle on. The beginning of Xscape is, however, for me in the direction of bad taste. A really autobiographical song (which reflects the text), the beginning of a was pressed in full-Its Britney Bitch-style (instead of said text line begins it with Darkchild (presumably from You Rock My World copied), but the style is about the same). I see that as proof that the producers have the moods not conceived in pieces ... even bolder I think that Justin Timberlake just as a duet partner on the CD cheats along the lines of "a dead man can anyway not defend" , With horror I have now heard that the album producer intends at the next plate match with Justin Bieber (!!!) ... At such a nightmare, nothing needs to be said well; the shock alone acts for here is more than enough. I call Leichenfledderei that is as superfluous as the included DVD on this CD.

Fortunately, the original recordings on the CD are also still, as mentioned above, exists. Perhaps not all the pieces ready produced, but nevertheless all tracks included here the typical Michael Jackson feeling and feature great moments. Here therefore begins for me from even before the actual album, which I give 5 stars. Dosages of the effects in the instrumentalisation are namely much better, not to mention excellent and I like compared to the revised versions of the rhythms throughout. Also mute the vocals of the singer here not constantly after Autotune to ... It's amazing: If you listen to, for example, the great original version of Do You Know Where Your Children Are on, it is hard to believe that this track is already more than 20 years to be old, the same applies for the excellent dance piece Slave To The Rhythm. Here the pieces work (especially when compared to the current radio program) innovative and unique.

And so the second part of the album has a number of highlights. Here especially the aural and genreüberlappende versatility of the pieces should be addressed. This is my opinion, in the Neuüberarbeitungen lost the originals, however, it is truly remarkable!

Xscape (the 2nd part with the originals) thus demonstrating with some outstanding pieces, what's happening in pop music (yet) possible. That makes me happy especially as I observe how the music scene is becoming increasingly bored in this sector by repeated constantly It sounds almost ironic when you consider that the already deceased Michael Jackson was still one of the few, the musical innovate and break this boredom schema part.
The album is also a testament to its versatility. I have just spoken of pop music? Michael Jackson is not so easy to classify by far, as many do over again if they can make it a King of Pop I can think of no artist who has so often reinvented; pioneered, like no other could never be assigned to a unique genre in the modern music scene and therefore. Xscape is partly for this further evidence and if only for this reason, a must (not only for fans of Michael Jackson, but for every music lover)!
