I was listening to History the other day. Very Underrated album in his collection.

yeah, i said as much a few pages back. One of the great things was no producer put his stamp on it, it was michael at his most mature as an artist. What I mean and I've said before, is that he really had his very own sound at this point. Something he didn't really have on the previous albums. No one, especially black artists have that brittle trebly texture, a jagged, chaotic sound. Most black music is bottom heavy, Mike got bottom and top here.

Thanks to Timmy84, bboy and Dag for always bringing it back to what is relevant.

It's too early, yet

Not enough time passed.

There are still too many apocrypha out in circulations - among the mean folks. There are even some who still believe that MJ was a child molester.

But don't you give up. Remain firm. Shut down every discussion that doesn't fit in the canon. Mob every user – even fans - who allows himself even slightest blasphemy (like you did it with Reel and a couple of others).

You'll see: in a couple of years we will all witness The Birth Of Venus

it does get a little stifling in here, i agree, but it's ok. I like the news and clips and most of all, I like seeing people who have Mike on their minds as I do.

It was a pretty good show. There's definitely not a shortage on HIStory Tour footage, that's for sure

Anyone going to preorder MJ's new album? It's so weird...I was thinking..."Oh man. I can't wait to buy it." But then I thought to myself, oh man when was the last time I went to the store to buy a new release? Will there be a huge line to get it? Many of the places where you would go buy music are closed down now save for huge chain bookstores, Walmart, Target, K-mart, Best Buy, and etc. In the end, unless it sells like Thriller, they're going to still call it a flop and that everyone forgot about him.

I bet you that, even in death, he will never be able to escape that album. Never. It's both a blessing and curse.

I don't care what the critics say, I'll get it regardless.

And we never got the special features.

Finally sold out, hunh? And how many copies did they sell that were cheaper editions of the original "limited" series? I wonder if mine is actually worth that much. As much as I love the pictures the book is so huge I have no place to put it except the box it came in.

And what about the MJ interactive library?! They sent code numbers to people instead of cards; since then I haven't heard a word from Krakenopus! Did that go the way of the Prince' opus?

I still have my email that they sent with my code,and the link to the MJ Special features site. I really hope that they make good on that because I am sure that most people ordered it mainly for that. I love my book,and I also don't have a huge bookshelf to put it on,so it sits on my window seat safely in it's box. Whenever I feel like a good workout I take it out of the box.

I think most are going to look at it as when all of tupacs albums was coming out after his death. Don't worry.

I wonder when did Mike become scared of dogs and why. What a beautiful dog. I love German Shepards.

I can´t wait for the new album. I hope we get to hear some of the stuff cause some of the titles are interesting enough on their own.

Michael was probably attacked or almost attacked by a dog in his later teens, who knows?

I don't think he was scared of dogs as such,altho he did say on the private home movies that he didn't like small dogs because they were yappy and could bite. He didn't get on with Liz's dog LOL.

Well, he did say "I am afraid of dogs". I think he was afraid of dogs in general. I even read that in one article, which I believe to be true. It also said that he bought his children a puppy because he didn´t want to "transfer" his fears on them.
