I'd have to say it's a push. While Invincible did have way too much filler, it had Butterflies and Rock My World. Two songs I would put in my top 20 all time MJ tracks. While Musicology is steadier, especially from track 5-12, it doesn't have a real "killer" track. Invincible was underrated while Musicology seems to be a bit overrated.

there you go, argumentation !!.

i always felt invincible was somehow underrated, so I hear you on that one. whether musicology is overrated, i don't know. maybe its to early to really know yet. reviews are overall good, though, and I agree, though I felt it was kind of week the first time I heard it. now i feel it is a master-grower and i dig the album.

Just to be clear, while I think Musicology is overrated, I like the album. Just don't see it as a 4 star album.

Wanna Make a bet that mj will be free as a daisy next year

i know the case

Okay here is my speel or is that speal? I think Musicology just out and out beats the living hell out of Invincible. Now I like MJ alot but I love Prince still I can tell you as a longtime MJ fan Invincible was horrid. Let me tell you why
1. Overproduced by a man with too much money and refuses to act his age.
2. Nothing really new here. More dance schlock and 'we can save the world' stuff from MJ.
3. If you saw South Park last night they did a send up of MJ that was priceless. they basically ripped him but at the same time there was soooo much truth. I mean everytime 'he' sang he had the shamone's and he hes in there and it was too funny. That ultimately is how Invincible hit my ears. A very safe record with no artistic risks to speak of. Which would not be so bad if he had taken big risks on past albums then you could have said he was returning to form like U-2 did with there last record.

Musicology on the other hand much like U-2's last is an Artist returning to some familar territory with more than a few experiences to show along the way. That is the one thing I want to say to people when they say this album is nothing new. It really is. He wanted to show you old Prince in a new way and I believe that he has in sooo many ways. Musicology sounds inspired by a man who just loves what he is doing. MJ is a machine he can't really think outside of major record sales. I honestly feel that his self worth is based on sales. This saddens me because I think if he were to relax and just create he could really wow people with a more mature perspective. Prince is a very talented and arrogant (or at least he used to be) artist. The arrogance shields him from having to try to please everytime he records. This is a blessing and a curse because he can wander off for long periods of time before he pays attention to what people are asking of him. Thus in my mind the long wait for an album like Musicology.
So there I like both artist but really I was heartbroken when I heard Invincible. I just really thougt that it sucked outside of "butterflies" (and from what I hear floetry the girls that wrote the song do a better version than him) and "you rock my world." To me it is not even a comparison.
Peace
