I remember back in 2003, Toure' was talking about how Michael was being an idiot for blaming Sony for the low sales and it didn't sell because it was a terrible album. Although it's not my favorite, I felt people would be singing a different tune and see that's better than what was originally said


and I was right, I've heard so many times that the album is alot better as time has passed

It's just the flaws/duds are so apparent:
Heartbreaker
The Lost Children
Threatened
Cry
Privacy
2001 Watts


First of all in the org OTW is quite popular. I still think most of MJs active fans (in forums) are 90s kids and think Blood On The Dancefloor would be the essentiel MJ.

Seconf, Jay, youÄre right. Invincible has got some amazing songs, but some really bad ones too. It has 16 songs, right? what if you'd delete 6 or even 7 of them? It would be so much better!!!

My version would be like this: (but not in this order)



1. "Break of Dawn"
2. "Heaven Can Wait"
3. "You Rock My World"
4. "Butterflies"
5. "Speechless"
6. "Don't Walk Away"
7. "Cry"
8. "Whatever Happens"

erm... I'd like to act The Way You Love Me to this..

so, as you see it's mostly the fast tracks that don't work. And it's the fast tracks that made OTW and Thriller so special!!!



Um minus Cry and Speechless lol
Cry is like a rip off of Man in the Mirror

What MJ fans ignore Off the Wall? Five year olds? Off the Wall constantly comes up in the plethora of MJ-music threads and is argued as one of his best if not the best of his solo career. Seriously...


Well, in MJ forums many usually consider Dangerous his best album....
Yet critics say Off the Wall is his best.


I think they're both among his best. They're very different, though, in terms of pretty much everything (lyrical content, musical style, vocal style, etc), that it's hard to properly compare. They're both great albums imho, and both miles better than Thriller. lol

But what do I know, I like BOTD waaaay more than Invincible (and Thriller).

No...Invincible wasn't. I considered it this generation's "Bad". I still play it often. I just don't think that it was promoted properly.


Bad was a bad album lol
To the bolded -The Bad album was prompted like crazy! What are you talking about?


NO. I was referring to "Invincible". It was this album that was not prompted properly. Bad was a pretty good cd.
