Re: Invincible appreciation thread
I think I came to appreciate "Invincible" much more after Michael passed away, than I did when he was still here, which is a sad thing for me to admit.
I did always love and respect the album, of course, but not as much as Dangerous and BAD.....I think I wanted Invincible to surpass those and it just didn't, for me.
My favourite song, right from the beginning was YRMW and I still love that song to bits. My next picks would definitely be Threatened, Whatever Happens and Cry.
I agree with Hess, about the rap parts.....I've never really been a fan of that. I don't think Michael needs it, to flesh out his songs, at all. "Heartbreaker" REALLY annoys me...a LOT.....it is too loud and too busy with all of the manufactured sounds. I'd like to hear it with a slower tempo, a cleaner, richer version, where Michael's vocals are front and centre.
"Don't Walk Away" is SO beautiful and I love Michael's voice throughout the song......he was an expert at being able to wring anguish from a song, for sure.
Invincible enthusiasts should read the section dedicated to this album, in Joseph Vogel's book "The Man in the Music".....he writes brilliantly about it and I endorse every word.
