  1. At 78 minutes this is too long, and especially given his history, "The Lost Children" is offensive. But the first three tracks are the Rodney Jerkins of the year, "2000 Watts" is the Teddy Riley of the past five years, and even the prunables offer small surprises.
  2. The mix is such that the saccharine ("You Are My Life" and "Heaven Can Wait") is outweighed by the brilliant ("Whatever Happens" and "The Lost Children"), creating a record that is quite relevant while at the same time being experimental and fresh.
  3. '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.

    Starts badly and gets worse for a very long time (77 minutes). [Jan 2002, p.146]

  1. a crítica falou mau, mas o álbum é maravilhoso (tanto que foi eleito o álbum da década). Invincible vai do pop ao rap e vai do rock ao r&b, o álbum é excelente é um dos melhores do MJ. Expand

    I Love Michael Jackson so much! This album is HUGE concidering all the trouble that the public has given him. He is so so so strong to get up on his feet and continue doing what he loves best dispite all the false alligations. I love Michael Jackson with all my heart xxxx Expand
  3. This is an unsteady album and probably the worst of Jackson's albums. Some highlights include 'You Rock My World', a throw back to Off The Wall and 'Butterflies' a great, mid-tempo song written by Marsha Ambrosius, a neo soul artist. These songs are easily brought down a rung or two by poor compositions like 'All The Lost Children' and 'Don't Walk Away'. I've never been a big Jackson ballad fan and I think on this album he forgets that possibly the best message you can send the world is to make them get down and boogie. The Santana song is a nice moment between two legends but overall this album does not have the feel of any other Jackson album. The highlights are minimal but the genius is still there,if a little flawed. Expand

    "da man" is no longer a man but i'll stick to the topic of the music... first single was catchy(video was a whole other deal)but nothing more. longest artistic block in the history of music.i guess money really CAN'T buy everything. the rest of the songs just render "him"........INVISIBLE (he's even fading away on the cd cover) Expand
