This may be controversial, but I'm going to state it.
When Michael was released in 2010, I literally played the hell out of it for two years straight. I couldn't get enough of that album. Even though only 7 of the songs are proven MJ tracks, I still loved it.
Xscape is clearly an even better album, and a perfect album in every respects. But I'm not as excited about it 5 months after it was released. I barely listen to it now.
What my suspicions are is that I'm missing Michael. 2010 was close enough to the TII tour and movie that I felt like he was still here somewhat. The second album after he died is perfect, really, but it just doesn't feel like Michael, because he's not promoting it. I guess it finally sunk in that he's gone.
