Despite the grab bag quality of Michael, it is one of my favorites of the posthumous album, the other being Bad 25. Michael contains some of the stronger cuts that have come out after Michael's passing. Sometimes an album is just worth owning for one or two songs. That is the case with Michael for me. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything that tops Behind the Mask or Another Day.<br>

My issue with Xscape was the Timbaland-produced joints. I love Timbaland and his work with Aaliyah, Ginuwine and Missy, but this was just not a good marriage to me. I didn't like the way he updated the songs. There was no hint of the Jackson sound anywhere. The exceptions are the Rodney Jerkins-produced Xscape and Loving You. The most handsome of the bunch is the JT/MJ duet. I don't think I've listened to the album straight through. I've just sampled it. I would have much preferred it if Pharrell or Mark Ronson had produced it. It's just me though.<br>
