MJ fan for quite a few years Back then it was released in 2001, aged just under 10, I ran together with my parents in a supermarket to buy this new installment of the King of Pop that I owned LOEUVRE already practically any musical film is (clips). I already had the single "You Rock My World" that I loved, but listening to the album it was different. Although the first three songs, "Unbreakable", "Heartbreaker" and "Invincible" is well paced, they appeared to me quite different from what Michael used to do (and yeah it's great precursor) I found them right after friendly (if a little long, but that's a detail). Then arrived at "Break Of Dawn" bored settled and moved well, it's long, it's boring, it is soft, the image of the new musical area that was already beginning to knock on the time, then comes "Heaven Can Wait" if unoriginal we do not even distinguished from the previous. And the terrible and furious "You Rock My World" that I would zap it for the world, and then they go again into the bored, "Butterflies," "Speechless", migraine sets in, and reaches 2000 watts, 9th song, which sounds like a slap, the voice of MJ difficult to recognize, but the title is a killer, but all at a price you'll have to guess, the 10th song restarts the repetitive and the softest Overall, it's "You Are My Life." The 11th song, "Privacy" on the other hand and a good title, quite leading. "Do not Walk Away" nonexistent. Ah "Cry" 13èm the title, a similar beauty "Will You Be There" and "Heal the World" and "Man In The Mirror" beautiful. Then after the tracks 14 and 15 to quickly condemn to just "Threatened", a sort of "Thriller" mix "Ghosts" album that comes close.
In conclusion, not a bad album, but not good either. His major weakness, too much walking, too many titles without interest, slow, boring and above all, long, very long. While among this long list, 9 could be enough to make a good album with nothing to throw (Thriller not only does it contain 9 songs?)
The Track list that could have made the perfect album:
1 - Unbreakable 2 - Heartbreaker 3 - Invincible 4 - You Rock My World 5 - Speechless (round one will be kind) 6-2000 Watts 7 - Privacy 8 - Cry 9 - Threatened
