The Official "I Got My Album" Thread. Discuss Your Reactions Here!

Placed my pre-orders over a month ago for Michael and Vision...I'm still waiting.

It's really frustrating that I haven't even received Vision yet...This is my first experience with Pre-ordering anything and certainly my last.

I could have walked the 150 footsteps from my house to a major shopping centre nearby and bought the damn album etc today, instead I'm forced to sit and twiddle my thumbs...
 
I got mine yesterday! Didn't have the same excitement I had when holding "HIStory" or the other albums for the first time.....kinda had mixed emotions. However, its overwhelming to hear Michaels voice again, he always manages to sprinkle us with his magic dust listening to the angelic voice. I love the song "Best of Joy", it goes right into your heart and its like he is singing in my living room. :wub:
 
Yes!!! I found it in my mailbox a few minutes ago. The album looks gorgeous. Nice back-cover, too. Now I'm gonna have a good listen on my audio-system :D
 
i just bought the album. in the booklet there are some handwritten notes from Michael. but english is not my mother language and michael has quite a bad handwriting :lol:

can someone write down what is written there on every note??? i cant read it xD
 
I GOT THE ALBUM !!!

YEAH !! - Fantastic.
 
Still waiting for mine to arrive. Can anyone comment on the recording quality?
 
I bought 3 copies. - Anf bought them in different shops so all sales will count. :lol:

I am going to a party tonight, then I'll give the host one in hostess gift. :)
 
Overall reaction - AARrRrGGFGGGHHHGGgggg - GREAT !!

The booklet is great, the cover looks ACE and the music - pure Michael.

Perfect.
 
Damn, I was wandering through town and two record shops had it prominently in front of their shops. I however knew I was getting it in the mail today so I was not buying an it. But the mailman has just left me two Christmas cards! Never been so dissapointed with Christmas cards before :(
 
Note 1:

'I hear the whole entire song and arrangements in my head.
What each instrument is 'supposed' to do, I put them down orally on tape the I go out and find that instrument. I don't give in until I get exactly what I want. I sing every part with my Mouth.'

Note 2:

'Hollywood Tonight

"Story" Girl
Runaway age 15
She dreams of fame riches
ilussion n superstardom
Her mission is to make it in Hollywood.
The obstacles she ... ...
are unbearable but she ....
Against her parents will = a true

Based on truth story'

Note 3:

'100 million records or so,
means focus and dedication,
determination (?) perseverence
Hitting goal right on over beyond.'

Note 4:

'We only live once.
Since we are given the gift of life
it should be .... persistent endeavor
to immortalize ourselves.
No matter what field of endeavor we choose.
M.J.'
 
I got the album now as well!!!!!!!!! :)

Im gonna listen to it now.. Ive avoided all leaks.. Ive already heard Breaking News, Hold My Hand and heard a few snippets only (Hollywood Tonight, Another Day and Behind the Mask).


Post Edit: My review after listening to it only once

Hollywood Tonight is on... Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a blisssssssssss!!!
I knew I would LOVE this one after hearing it for one minute on Ellen!!! The choir AND the beatboxing in the beginning, dang.. and the whistle in the end !! A GREAT SONG that you just wanna get up and dance to!!

Keep your Head up Lyrics are beautiful.. the melody etc reminds me a lot of 'Cry' and other songs like that..

The Way you Love Me Ohh to hear Michaels voice in the voicemail he left at the beginning.. good move to include that imo.. such a nice song.. I already like how it was on TUC but I like this one too..hope Michael is proud how the song developed..

Monster Love the beat... "You give them your all, They're watching you fall"... Aint that true Mike.. sigh... Conclusion: Like the beat a lot

Best of Joy "I am your joy, best of you"... yeesssss you are!! I think I must listen to this song several times before it will start to grow on me.. Its an alright song imo, not the best.. but thats what I thought about 'You are my life/Dont walk away' on 'Vince before I started to really appreciate them. Ill give this song more time and I belive I will like it more and more

Breaking News Already heard this one and I really really like the beat to it..

Another Day Hmm.. i remember when it leaked in august 2009 and I really really loved it!! But it seems like they touched it too much this time. Dont know what they did hehe but it sounds a bit different and I already loved it how it was back then.. Its still however a good song but I honestly wish they could have kept it like it was... I think i need to listen to it more before I will start to really really like it..

Behind the Mask Offffffffffff such a good song!! AMAZING!! I knew I would like it after hearing the snippet.. The beginning is a killer with that saxophone... !! I ADORE this song soo much, great meolody and great beat.. "All along, I knew you were a phony girl, sit behind the mask, and you control the world".. Dang Mike, brutal.. LOOOOOL

Much Too Soon Aww.. such a pure angelic voice.. its a nice and sweet song..

----
CONCLUSION:
My favourites are "Hollywood Tonight" and "Behind the Mask".. and then comes 'Keep Your Head Up'

This is kinda interesting because my all-time favourites of Michael are slow songs like 'Will You Be There, Human Nature, Stranger in Moscow, Speechless etc..' but imo this album lacks those specific types of slow songs.. however, that doesnt mean the slow songs on this album are bad (for instance Keep Your Head Up and Much Too Soon are great songs)

I also thought 'Another Day' would be my favourite too after hearing that snippet.. BUT I think they touch too much with it sadly.. I preferred the version that was leaked.. overall, a good album defineatly.. you are all in for a treat :D

Thank You's

"You are my joy, the fullness in my heart is because of you. I love you beyond now and forever.

This is what Michael wrote to his children, Prince, Paris and Blanket".

"And especially to Michael's fans, we say thank you for your love, loyalty and endelss support to Michael - The Estate"

Oh crap, this made me sad and teary.. it was always Michael writing and thanking us, not someone else.. sigh...

Yeah that was kind of a wake up call for me too, I ALWAYS read the linear notes for messages and names... and there was none by Mike like there used to be
 
I bought the album, and he was at number one in the record store which was wonderful to see with my own eyes.

I've played it through three times going on 4, my poor neighbours and speakers, but I ain't done yet!

WOOOT!!

peace&love

:wub:

thats what i don,t get,i thought it was a worldwide release of dec 14th,
 
I got it a few hours ago, and played it 3 times now. I think it's a GREAT album. Favorites so far include 'Monster', '(I Like) The Way You Love Me', 'Hollywood Tonight', 'Keep Your Head Up' and 'Much Too Soon'.

And of course 'Hold My Hand' was already great :D
