 Michael Jackson: Invincible (2001): Reviews
'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.
To really care about this album you have to be able to get into the pure hard sounds of the dance-track percussion and the way Michael tends to garnish them with his voice.
The invincible album is fantastic and the people who critisise him are either rascist or just real losers.

Break Of Dawn is the album's first ballad, and I've got a feeling that a lot of people might disagree with me when I say that I find it to be a bit dull.
An album isn't just about putting a collection of songs into one place - an album that is more concise hits harder, and feels more solid.
It's my belief, though, that just like many great singles don't mean as much outside of the context of the albums from which they came, an otherwise album loses a lot of punch when too much filler is thrown in.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Skillet, "Invincible" Review
Invincible comes slamming at you on the heels of their previous hit, last year's Hey You, I Love Your Soul which was a tremendous sound change from their 1996 self-titled debut.
When the band altered their hard rock sound from the first album to include a more electronic, almost techno-flavored hard rock, fans were surprised, but pleasantly.
Invincible starts off with an electronic wave that sets up the album's overall feel before bursting into an electronic drum beat and crunchy guitars creating one of the album's highlights, "Best Kept Secret." The album seems to carry a stronger message throughout, tackling issues that one can more easily relate to than their previous albums.

 BBC - Pop/Chart Review - Michael Jackson, Invincible
I think this album was seriously underated and think alot of its failure is down to bad management etc. Michael wanted to realease unbreakable as a sinle first and also release other singles and videos but the record label wouldn't let him.
Invincible is a wonderful return to the breathy vocals he displayed on Off The Wall and Thriller and his most soulful album since.
Invincible is not a Bad album nor it is a excellent.It is just an average one.Mj should work less with young guys to keep him up to date with the sound and focus more on what he can really do himself like the Bad album.

Herein contained is an analysis of the promotion of the album "Invincible" as well as that of the accompanying strategic course of action concerning Jackson, as undertaken by Sony Music.
The lack of commercials for "Invincible" during an event of that nature is akin to malpractice.
In other words, Sony sought to sabotage "Invincible" and restrict Jackson's career.If Sony purposely under-promoted Jackson's album and aggressively used the media to paint Jackson as an unviable artist in order to make him unattractive to competing labels, this could be a classic case of breach of contract.

I was disapointed after the album was pushed back further and further, from 1999, to 2000, to 2001, and finally its out.
If he gave the street crowd more attention, the pop and mainstream crowd would have jumped on the bandwagon and decided to check him out, but instead he was chasing the wrong audience which only lead to (unfair) criticism which he does not deserve and later on, overexposure and backlash with PR disasters.
And that's exactly why this album is so unacceptable, coming from someone like him - when you've reached superstardom and gone beyond it, you don't release a record that's so horribly mixed up and full of second grade tracks that it's bound to be a faliure.

In conclusion, 'Invincible' is a must have for anybody who loves to dance, get their groove on by themselves or with their significant other.

Invincible, his first album in six years, went to No1 in the UK and US album charts, but sank without trace within weeks.

 VOANews.com - Michael Jackson Releases 'Invincible'
Nevertheless, "Invincible" debuts at Number One on Billboard Magazine's Hot 200 Albums Chart [week ending 11/17] after first week sales of more than 366,000 CDs in the U.S.A. The set has already premiered at the top of album charts in the U.K., Australia, France, Denmark, Belgium, Germany and six other countries.
Several critics have already commented that "Invincible" is "tired, unexceptional, removed from reality and unoriginal." The music video for the first single, "You Rock My World," is more like a mini-feature film, with a cameo appearance by legendary actor Marlon Brando.
During the making of "Invincible," Michael was said to have asked musicians to re-record material hundreds of time until it was perfect.

For such a boldly titled and apparently driven attempt to reinstate Michael Jackson at the centre of the pop world, Invincible is a listless thing.
MJ seems to be torn between his anthems and slower songs, the best songs on invincible are the faster, more funky and dancy songs.
In summary this album did not deserve the slating it got in the press, it's a solid album, with 5 or 6 songs from it which will go down as some of his best work, however some of it 'Invincible' and 'the lost children' especially are perhaps the worst stuff he's ever done.

The question for a 42-year-old Michael Jackson heading towards the end of 2001 was whether or not the self-proclaimed King Of Pop could make his presence known on the charts after having spent much of the '90s laying low.
