‘Invincible’ is a relevant and rejuvenated comeback album make overlong and embarassing by the unavoidable fact that Michael Jackson is a) exceedingly rich and b) a bit of a wanker.
Though fatally flawed, Invincible does boast its fair share of sonic exhilaration.
In the end, Invincible breaks little ground, instead sticking to familiar sounds of both his recent past and near-ancient history.
On Invincible, his come-on songs to women are petulant rather than mature, and his save-the-world odes feel more fueled by ego than care.
After 76 unremitting minutes, you're left in no doubt: like its creator, Invincible has simply gone too far.
The reviews on this album seriously leave me wondering if anybody here actually listened to it in its entirety without a bias. This album is groovy, funky, goodness.

The album isn't bad by any means and it is a well rated album (despite what MJ fans ... read more
