Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Lads, ye either like the song or ye don't. Express your opinion (which we would all like to hear) and wait for a reaction and we will all discus like we've always been doing. Stop bickering it's irritating.

The music from APWNN sounds like its been directly lifted from the arcade version of Moonwalker!

I'm going to explode into a frenzy of bad dancing if it's as good as I hope.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
I've only listened to LNFSG so far, but I'm not even worried about whether the remixes are any good or not. If they are, great. If not, well it's not Michael's fault. He had literally nothing to do with them. This isn't really his album. It's his voice with producers putting their own instrumentals behind it without his input and releasing it without his blessing (obviously). Because we are getting the versions that Michael last worked on, I'm not fussed whether the remixes suck or are good. The reason I won't get into too many serious discussions about the remixes is because I don't take them very seriously. So I'll say thank you to the estate for giving us the originals.

Blue Gangsta is the one I'm most looking forward to hearing what they did with.
The original had a lot of potential but I didn't care much for the music... Really hope Timbaland delivers on this one.

Now back on-topic:
I am drinking coffee and eating a piece of chocolate in a mustard sandwich with strawberries and cooked cabbage tart while listening to trance-jazz kind of rock 'n' roll punk music.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
The most infuriating thing for me about this whole subject is the people that claim it 'doesn't have the MJ sound' or 'Mike wouldn't have been happy' etc.. Oh really, so you are all so super close to him that you were privy to any production meetings he may have had with Timberland or his associates about possible collaborations before his death? If you listen to each of Mikes albums in turn you would, hopefully, notice that apart from the chord structures there's very little in common shared between each release. Compare Invincible to Off The Wall, how can you say that it isn't immensely different in sound and production? How are we to know that Mike wasn't planning an album release with the sound of 'Xscape'? If he was keen to work with Stargate who's to say APWNN doesn't sound EXACTLY has Mike would have wanted to produce a track?
Open your minds a little. Mike was never current, if anything he was always ahead of his time, his music was constantly evolving.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
I am really excited to the original version of Chicago. i think the original will be better, cause the instrumentation of the new version is really weak, Michael would never use generic drums and anything x

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
Well said. I don't get that the same people here have their opinion on repeat (good or bad) and it looks like there is some sort of self-importance issues going on, such as my opinion is so important that it has to be repeated every ten minutes.
On separate issue, I might add that hopefully fans who doesn't like some songs, won't go on youtube or other mediums repeating their negative opinions. You are Michael fan, right? You have to think about that somebody who was going to buy this album were put off buying it because she/he read your negative opinion(s).
The common nominator to all of us is that we want new people to hear Michael, thus they might delve into his vast back catalogue and discover what Michael was about.

Seen many Pictures online showing that some People have the cd already.....that doesnt mean its online,not all cd buyers are pirates.
But it is strange.....and good.... that it hasnt leaked yet.
Maybe it has some kind of new copy protection that need to be hacked first.

Aaw Respect, you made me laugh.
Seriously, if you love some of other songs in this album, wouldn't your mood be dampened after reading pages and pages same people complaining about same thing?

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.
I got tired about someone going on and on and on about how bad LNFSG is, but that went on for days and also that was prior to the release of the new mixes, before we even heard them. So yes, there is a broken record effect, but I don't think a couple of hours of discussion after the release of the song is a broken record effect. It's just some people like it, some don't. It seems to be the most controversial song from the album so far, and that will be expressed in the discussions about it.
