    I can't stand it as a non-fan. I really can't stand someone giving Invincible a low score. In all fairness, this album has a lot of experimental elements, and it's very successful.

    The album runs a bit too long with alot more softer songs than his previous works but still has some really great tracks like whatever happens, you rock my world, threatened, unbreakable and invinceble.

    One of the best albums of the 2000s.Probably Michael Jackson's most underrated album, with some of the best beats of our time. With awesome songs like You Rock My World, Butterflies, Speechless, You Are My Life or Whatever Happens. It is totally worth listening to and deserves much more appreciation.

    Jackson's last album came out rather sad, monotonous and very long. Many songs repeat the same theme, the same beats and the same concept, and by the end you want to mute the sound. Michael Jackson has always surprised us with new sound, explosive tracks and danceable beats. However, on this album he decided to become a "regular" singer who is no different from others.

    The only problem was that it had too much filler. Butterflies is a beautiful piece of neo-soul. Jackson's falsetto clearly soars and the ending of the song is pure heaven with Marsha singing with MJ. The chorus is beautiful and vocally stacked, which I love, unilke some idiots. The song is perfectly paced and slow, which is how I like it. Just a perfect song. Heartbreaker is super innovative and electronic, genre-defying and the chorus is awesome. Invincible is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It is the most Dangerous-ish cut on the , with a slower blues tempo and excellent Jackson ad-libs. You Rock My World is classic disco, bass-thumping Michael Jackson with great vocals. Great song. Reminiscent of Off The Wall.
    Break of Dawn and Heaven Can Wait are awesome love songs and Break of Dawn has phenomenal vocals.
    I also love the Latin-tinged, rock-blues ballad with Santana with an excellent guitar solo and phenomenal Jackson ad-libs and just a great vocal performance.
    Threatened and Unbreakable are both bangers and super catchy. Unbreakable is a tad bit too long but still great. Got a Biggie Verse. The piano-driven hip hop beat is just magnetic.
    Don't Walk Away is great, Riley-produced heartbreak soul with a country twinge and phenomenal Jackson vocals.
    Which is dope. Threatened is funk/New Jack Swing and twenty times better than Thriller. I just love the chorus and the beat.
    2000 Watts is interesting enough all though I prefer Shout. I do like Jackson's new vocals. The beat pounds with funk and new jack swing. But its mostly Jackson's voice that is the interesting part of the song.
    Speechless is neo-gospel with reiigious undertones. Unfortunately it is slightly sappy and underdeveloped. Jackson does sing like an angel, tho.
    Then we have You Are My Life, which is sweet, especially since it was written for his kids, but still it is slow and dull and a clear filler.
    Cry is okay, nothing special. The lyrics are okay, but it is not nearly as good as Man in the Mirror or Keep The Faith. The Lost Children is sweet, but again, should have been released on a compilation album.
    And Privacy is more media-bashing, except its done much better on Scream and Tabloid Junkie. Even You Wanna Trip On Me and Leave Me Alone are preferable to this.

    A perfect, but way overlong album which could have been cut to 11-12 tracks.
    Gets way too much hate. The music critics at the time were idiots, They didn't even review the music and just spent much of their reviews attacking his character or reviewing his past musical glories.
    A shame Sony didn't promote this flawed masterpiece.    … Expand

    Reviewers and music "experts" started hating everything MJ released after the allegations in 1993. Some of them even changed their mind about some of his then praised album (Bad & Dangerous). They are all hypocrites.

    This is indeed MJs weakest adult solo album but it's far from a crappy album. Unbreakable, Break Of Dawn, Butterflies, You Rock My World, The Lost Children, Whatever Happens and Speechless are all great songs. Sony kept Michael from being 100% creative in this one, they wanted it to sound as modern as possible and Michael scrapped a lot of better sounding songs (which are issued on The Ultimate Collection and Xscape, some are demos circulating on the internet).
    This album could have been compressed into a shorter songlist and therefor gotten a better rating from me. Still, by comparing this album to HIStory and Dangerous, I think a strong 6 is pretty fair.
    MJ seems a bit uninspired on some tracks. It felt a bit rushed and MJ never had this much unnecessary fillers and I honestly also think that MJ himself would admit (if he lived will say) that this album was a disappointment    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers. Had it had a normal release with music videos, live performances, commercials and etc. it would've been a huge success. But due to the dispute with Sony the album had no support, no music videos besides You Rock My World and only had one live appereance. Vocally this is perhaps the best album and MJ's as aggressive and intense as ever before. The three first Rodney Jerkins songs are incredible and there's even a Biggie-verse..

    The only negative thing that can be said about is perhaps that it's just a little too long, but I'd never take out any songs. The album starts with fast and aggressive songs, before slowing down later on.

    Personally I love this album. I've been listening to it for many years and sometimes I listen to the whole album from start to stop several times a day during the time in my car.

    Invincible doesn't hold anything back for MJ's other great albums. It could perhaps have been slightly shorter. at 16 songs with several of the songs being over 5 minutes it's a very long album, but I donæt know which song to take out..    … Collapse

    Not Michael's best album, but neither is it his worst. Simply love the dance tracks, although the record IS a little too long. But anyways, it's much better than the music nowadays. I think critics should see Invincible as an individual album, they shouldn't compare it with his previous works. This album deserves more critical appreciation.

    Michael Jackson's final studio album (while alive, that is) is nothing amazing. It's a big fall from a lot of his older stuff, and even his 90's music. There's very, very little good here. I would not recommend listening to it, and if you decide to buy it, I pity you.

    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.

    When compared to other albums neing released nowadays, this album really is excellent. Don't judge it by anything but it's own merits as an album. The upbeat songs really rock!!!

    Michael Jackson is amazing and i love hm - now and forever. The invincible album is fantastic and the people who critisise him are either rascist or just real losers. This album is great, with real great tracks, like butterflies, cry, invincible, all of them are great actually. MJ is named the King Of Pop fpr a reason and this album proves it. by MJ is Amacing, 14 yrs old.

    Michael Jackson did not even try to make this album great. He laid back and just produced some music. He did not put his best in making the album. The songs were great but some of them did not match the album. There was just too much songs. I would cut out the songs Heartbreaker, Heaven Can Wait, You Are My Life, Don't Walk Away, and The Lost Children and put in songs that fits the Michael Jackson did not even try to make this album great.

    get your heads together people. do you have to use his personal life as an argument for his work? stay focused and listen to invincible, really listen to it. it is the greatest piece of art ever created. no other artist has ever made anything like this. and stop comparing it to thriller. thriller was made in 1982 and was and is still the best album of all times. but we now live in 2004 get your heads together people. do you have to use his personal life as an argument for his work? stay focused and listen to invincible, really listen to it. it is the greatest piece of art ever created. no other artist has ever made anything like this. and stop comparing it to thriller. thriller was made in 1982 and was and is still the best album of all times. but we now live in 2004 and his music also lives in 2004 and beyond. he knows it and the fans know it. we therefore do not sit around and wait for the next billie jean. we know better. you should to.… Expand

    This isn't his best work. But lets face if Thriller (and Off the Wall) was a VERY hard act to follow. He's been trying ever since to recreate the peak of his career. Having said that, this is a very good album, with many very good tracks. It sets him apart as the world class artist he is. I have to say, there's always something new everytime you hear it.

    Say what you want about his nose, but this album is just great. Michael was able to satisfy the pop, as well as th R&B fans with great songs like "Unbreakable", "Threatened", "Break of Dawn", "Heaven can wait", "Butterflies" etc, etc, etc. Big thumbs up to Mike, he proved to be "Invincible"!

    "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)

    I fell in love with this album from the begining to the end. it has something for every pop cultured, r&b, Rap wanna be out there. the man is amazing to do what he can do. to keep his legacy. you dont lose something that you are trapped in. this is michael and his music where talking about here. get into the groove,"sigh", slow people catch up.

    Despite most of the critics, I consider this album very good. I am a great R&B fanatic and Michael Jackson satisfies most of my needs with this cd. His voice is simply fantastic. They way it's recorded is amazing -- if you play it loud, seems like MJ is at home! Break od Dawn, Butterflies, Speechless: they are all very good ballads.

    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.

    Jackson has lived a bizarre train-wreck life of mystery and tragedy, but following such a lengthy absence, Invincible just reeks of desperation and aimlessness.

    It does at least manage to include several of the things we hold dearest about Michael Jackson the singer, and it also steers clear of anything as laugh-out-loud as 'Earth Song'.
