What Is Michael's Most Underrated Album?

[N4ty]

Invincible... even though it's my least favorite album

[Roosje]

HIStory. It seems always overlooked. It's brilliant and original. I love it.

[CaptainEoLove85]

Invincible and HIStory

[fondero]

I voted Invincible...

Invincible was always hugely underrated and it's a shame because it is a very good album!

[etoile 37]

Invincible, the media is always trying to make it sound like it was a flop, so people don't even bother listening. It's a great album!

I voted for Off the Wall. Although the album was a big success commercially, I think some international markets were not yet fully aware of Michael Jackson as a solo artist when this album was released. This was not the case for all of his subsequent albums that immediately got a lot of attention all around the world following his rise to superstardom

invincible and im so sad for this because its my favorite album.

HIStory was MJ's most personal album ever and imo didn't get the right recognisation it deserved both from critics and some fans

[Loni1082]

It's really a toss up between History and Invincible.

[IMWhizzle]

I vote Dangerous. Never got the appreciation it deserves.

Mind blowing album, much better than thriller in my opinion.

[Mike's Bad]

I was torn between Invincible and Dangerous but chose Dangerous instead since I believe it's the best album he ever made (Though sometimes I think it's Bad. hahaha.. So hard to choose.). And yes, Who is it is a very underrated song.

History for me. It's simply a work of art, the whole album for me can be summed up in the outro to stranger in moscow, genius. The album is immensely interesting from a lyrical, harmonic, melodic and production point of view, and featured some new things from Michael. The album doesn't always make easy listening, songs like DS and Money and Little Susie arn't and weren't ever ment to be radio friendly singles, but works of art to be appreciated in their own right. Most radio/chart music is mere functionality designed to sell and to keep the cogs of peoples life's spinning in the illusion of foreground, but really the background. A lot of Michael's earlier music managed to achieve this, yet also fulfill it's artistic role and be a work of art, the perfect mix of creativity and marketability weaved by a passion unrivaled in the industry. Some of the music on history falls much more into the category of art, it is a challenge to appreciate the musical tapestry on many of the songs, like a great painting, it cannot be scanned at mere glance, it must be observed for long amounts of time, until the magic begins to unravel, the understanding grows, it's secrets become revealed. Perhaps sit down one night, or lie down, close your mind from distractions, and listen to the Album as though it were once again your first time, see what you make of it, it might cause some inner revelations, it certainly has with me tonight.
