Definitely OTW. Most underrated songs on the album are imo Get on the Floor & It's the Falling in Love.
 
Quality-wise, Invincible is only comparable, if at all, to Dangerous and History.

As an artist, MJ was best when he was young and hungry.

The age doesn't matter. Michael's recorded fantastic stuff that didn't make Dangerous, HIStory or Invincible. All three of these albums suffer from an unbiased producer.

Especially Dangerous & Invincible were overexposed to Teddy tracks or respectively Jerkins songs. Those sessions would have hugely benefited from someone like Q - just supervising and having the final call for song selection & sequencing.
 
Off the Wall is the album I play when I really want some joy. It's very enjoyable and it's so great that it finishes too quickly.
I love Invincible but sometimes it's veeeeery long.
 
That's not an easy question, because MJ recorded each of these albums with completely different experiences. With Off the Wall, he was hungry, as has already been said. With Invincible, he felt he'd seen enough and was fed up with the media attention. OTW was more of a passion project, while Invincible was more of a job. But you can't really know for sure. I think Unbreakable is also a song that really expresses what was going on inside him.
