Dissapointed tbh, most of these songs would be B rated songs accompaning a world class single, do not see any songs here that will set the world alight to be honest, no wonder they were locked away in his archives.

I didn't really give myself chance to hammer it, now that I have listened to it for several days I am now quite happy with it, some tracks could be better tbh.

7/10 for album as a whole

Love "I like the way you loveme " best song on the album followed by hollywood tonight and Much Too Soon , i've probably worn hold my hand out, rest I think are average

Yay! That's what's up Sean! How are you?

I got mine yesterday(Tues. release date) before I went to work.
I showed it off and reminded some co-workers they'd better
get theirs too. Lol!

It was $11.88 at Walmart. I went next door to Target and got it for $9.99!

The booklet is great too.... with MJ's notes and such.

I officially feel like a fool here waiting for my original CD to arrive while avoiding listening to the whole thing on line.

I am having serious doubts with my respect and love for the old-fashion way, to be honest.

I am not quite sure what songs I like the best yet. Keep Your Head Up really got a strong reaction from me emotionally. Very relatable. What I like is that I think there is a song that everyone can like. All generations and age groups. I think so anyways. I loved seeing Michael's handwritten notes. Especially how he makes a song and how he sees it all in his head and this part was underlined something like he won't give in until he gets it what he wants or something like that. It made me smile.

I hope no one gets mad or throws tomatoes at me but when I listen to Hollywood Tonight and Breaking News back to back I hear the same voice. I have done it a few times now. I think when it comes to these techno or club types songs (I hope I am using the right words here) it's Michael but they are trying something different with his voice. I hear the songs that are simple or not so techno and it's classic Michael. I feel it's Michael but just him trying different styles if that makes sense. He did that before.

The One. · Dec 15, 2010

Ohhhh finally have my copy!!!

So many threads to go through (every song has their own thread.. lol) :lol:

But in general, I looove the album! Got me crying when I was litening to Monster and some other song can't remember what it was lol.

HOLLYWOOD TONIGHT my favourite oh my goshhh!!! :wild:

Also I am pretty convinced now that it's really our Michael singing on those Cascio tracks. Monster is my favourite of those three songs, and one of my favourites on the whole album!!!

BN is my least favourite on the whole album..

I too love the notes from Michael.. so lovely to see his handwriting

:wub:

Overall I'm just so happy to finally have the album! Now let's make it to #1!!!

Hey JB, nice! I'm still waiting as you know!

Themidwestcowboy · Dec 15, 2010

Finally!! I got my copy today! Along with a thriller tshirt ohyeaaah!!

I give the album a 8/10.
My favourites are, Monster, Hollywood tonight, the way you love me, behind the mask. To be real honest i loved everysingle song on the album! but maaan Monster was maaaaaad!! wow!

Love you michael!

The One. · Dec 15, 2010

I'm seariously in love with Hollywood Tonight. :bugeyed

Anyway I forgot to add to my previous post that I'm not a big fan of the blue colour on the booklet and back cover :lol: I think black wouldv'e been better. But I love the little notes from Michael, though I can't read what all of them says. :heart:

Also, I think I like the leaked version of AD better than the album version, though I think the guitar solo is great! It's still good song though.

Hey, blue color is fine

I really like all that ocean blue on CD. Blue is missing on all MJs CDs.

I went to ASDA on Monday. Got the CD in my hands, but then decided to just wait for my order to arrive and put the album in front of the Take That cds at the number one spot lol...

Tony R · Dec 15, 2010

Got in Monday and am SO surprised about how much I'm enjoying it.

Another Day, Hollywood Tonight, Behind The Mask and Much Too Soon are all great.

After all the furore and the averageness of much of Invincible meant my expectations were low, but i was wrong to doubt.

Forget all the argument and controversy and listen to the album for what it is.

Really pleased. Album of the year for me.

I got my first copy on Friday and I will buy three more tomorrow sent to US address in order to help Michael reach No1

MsMo · Dec 16, 2010

I bought 3 copies last night and I've already had to give one away :smilerolleyes:

earthlyme · Dec 16, 2010

I love the album...but one thing that kinda messed me up was the lyrics on there. one song didnt have the right lyrics (its different than what Michael sings) and the other *Monster* Didnt have 50's verse on it...but other than that, I loved reading the writings that Michael wrote...

tricia70 · Dec 16, 2010

I should have come to this thread first. Unfortunately went to another thread and I was so upset started crying.
I got my CD yesterday, and haven't stopped listening to it! I've already purchased 11 and counting. Many are gifts, but two will be for me.

I just love every song. Monster is just amazing- if they release it as a single I think it will be a big hit- unless of course this controversy dooms it.

Best of Joy is just sooo beautiful, I like the way you love me it's great- love the new production. I don't want to skip any song, they are all so great.

Thank you for the positivity in this thread - I needed that right now.

mariemarie · Dec 16, 2010

My first favorite was Behind the Mask, I fell out of my chair the first time I heard it, but over the weekend I have started to like Monster a lot.

And Best of Joy, Michael knew he was our Best of Joy :wub:

earthlyme · Dec 16, 2010

Dude...Monster is stuck in my head... "tooo Baad, Hollywood..." :lol: and I'm tryin' to get 50's part too... I like that part... "All hail(hell), run tell the king has risen, 2010 Thriller, there's nothing iller, its killer..."

and Behind the Mask...they have added a concert! where Michael says (Hee hee, and the fans reply...)

The beginning part...

Same. These two tracks have been on constant repeat for the past week and stuck in my head as a result. So catchy.

Mannn, Hollywood Tonight is bangin'! I mean first there's Michael's beatbox, then the melody...the beat...the.... Just everything! I'm actually smiling listening to these songs...Never thought I would after last year but I am so thankyou Michael for putting smile on my face...
I L.o.v.e. YOU Most!

souldreamer7 · Dec 16, 2010

I Love Behind The Mask
:wub:

JMie · Dec 16, 2010

I can't stop listening to this wonderful album. And I notice that while there were several songs that caught my extra attention from the first listen (like Best of Joy and Monster) and I listened to them more than others, now I tend to listen to Behind the Mask on repeat. And it's like that with every song - every day I have a new favorite!

I wondered about Monster too, I would've liked to see the lyrics for the rap.

HT is still my favourite, I soooo wish we could dance to it on clubs, I think it would be a good dance track!

At first I didn't really like the new arrangement of AD but it has now grown on me and it's one of my favourites on the album alongside HT, BOJ and Monster.
