    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!!!

    The only reason people gave this cd bad ratings is because mike was in trouble during that time

    I vehemently disagree with the majority of the critic's estimations on the supposed mediocrity of this album. It is not only excellent, it sounds even better 6 years on. Michael Jackson's inward perspective, that the critics interpret as self-pity, seems more like a revelation to his public of the feelings inside the most famous living human being on earth.

    I thought it was one of his best albums ever. We have to remember...we are no longer living in the 80's. If he were to release another Billie Jean or something, no one would buy it people would think he was crazy. The guy has to adapt to the current time, and I think he did that very well. I thought it was a little long though and to many ballads. But, i still loved it! I'm a I thought it was one of his best albums ever. We have to remember...we are no longer living in the 80's.

    Invincible album is not a video album but yet listening to the lyrics filled the gap left out.Invincible was not well received by critics but yet it sold very well as compared to albums in 2000s.Micheal is still "alive" and he will still do more "Great works". Just sit back and watch.

    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

    There key elements in a song that makes it stand shoulder above the rest. The instruments arrangements, vocal tempo and sonic accuracy. Then their are major vendor critics who score their rating +-2 of their industry peers before they have a listen to a single track. We know you haters, There is very few good materials out there to compare with.

    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.

    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"!

    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.

    These negative reviews are based on what used to be, not what currently is. The bottom line, it was very different, very entertaining. As a side note, on billboard it got the "album of the decade" award. Shove it critic "professionals", you don't know what you're talking about.

    Michael Jackson is a legend. And this is an amazing album. From the vocals of the /breaking Dawn to the beat of you rock my world, Michael has rocked my ears in this album. It is amazing and mindblowing.

    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.

    This album is so underrated... I think it's even better than the previous one, History. Unbreakable and What ever Happens are the best tracks with 2000 Watts. You have to re-discover this if you missed it.

    Great song after great song. The only two that i don’t understand is in the album are 2000 watts and privacy. But the rest are bangers after bangers

    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.

    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 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'.
