May 18, 2014I think the originals sounded better than the remakes.. especially when you have a wannabe-Michael Justin Timberlake placed on this album. (He's horrible live might I add..)
Glad they included the originals on my disc though, won't be listening to those awful overproduced pieces of crap. -
May 13, 2014L.A Reid has chosen good songs for the project, some reworkings necessarily are not better than the original ones, but overall it's a solid album and it's pleasing.

Nov 14, 2014Xscape was only ok. Jackson is back but not in a good way. I feel like this record was not needed. It's not a total train wreck some highlights being Love never felt so good, Slave to the rhythm and Xscape. Overall I am just not feeling this album. I feel this is lazy, tired, but not terrible. Oh and the song Blue Gangsta god almighty one of the worst songs he's ever produced.

May 13, 2014Better than the previous one. Without false tracks, amazing vocals, a flawless album. For me, ''Loving You'' is the best track. 'Xscape' is not one of the best, but it's great. Recommend.

May 14, 2014MJ's most cohesive and entertaining release since "Dangerous". Some of the re-workings are just as fantastic as the demos and each song sounds as relevant today as it could have been then.

May 15, 2014Excellent MJ vocals (as always), fantastic songs! Producers contemporized the songs did a great job, with respect to Michael Jackson. Plus, the deluxe version includes the originals as Michael left them. This album is a true gem

May 15, 2014Excellent track choices - My two favourites are Blue Gangsta/A Place With No Name - both the Xscape and originals are fantastic as they are carried mainly by the vocals.

May 14, 2014its really v.enjoyale album , much much better than the previous one and maybe better than invincible
all the tracks r very well but blue gangsta is really silly song i didnt like it at all
all the new versions r better than originals so really really thx to timbland -
May 13, 2015a fantastic collection of tracks that had no business being kept off of MJ's previous albums. i didn't expect myself to enjoy the new versions very much but i actually really enjoyed them. the originals are obviously superb though. the only downside is the new versions of "Blue Gangster" and "Chicago", which suffer from some really bad overproduction.

May 13, 2014Realmente um grande album! Nao é o melhor trabalho de MJ mas cumpre sua missao, fazer lembrar o quanto Michael podia ser incrivel e versatil. "A place with no name" e "Slave to the rhythm" merecem com toda certeza ser singles!

May 25, 2014The album really exceeded my expectations entirely! Has a modern and timeless feel that appeals to both his younger and older fans (A Place With No Name is a great example). Two thumbs up!
-
May 16, 2014A good collection of unreleased material from the King of Pop!
Love "Chicago" and "Slave to the rhythm". But i really don't think "Do you know where your children are" & "loving you" should have been included! -
Jun 10, 2014One of the best albums that Michael Jackson has released after Dangerous. This is what the modern MJ would sound like! I just can't believe how the producers have been able to create this miracle album!
-
Jan 27, 2016I found this a really enjoyable album this wasn't as good as previous of course s that would be very difficult. But the choices on this album are brilliant as they all work really well together a solid album and very pleasing to the ears.

May 20, 2014The genius of Michael Jackson shines through on this album. Very refreshing to hear the pure vocal as the centerpiece of this album. The mix sounds like classic Michael without a bunch of studio hocus pocus. Hearing this album makes me appreciate the talent of this man and miss his presence in music today even more.

May 25, 2014I love MJ this did not disappoint I got exactly what I expect. I could do without Justin Timberlake (not a fan) love Slave to Rhythm, Blue Gangsta, Xscape, Do you know where your Children are, A Place with No Name. Basically just loved it I bought Deluxe version.
Dig down in those unreleased & keep 'em coming. -

Jun 4, 2014For the most part, Xscape honors [Jackson's] legacy and should help to relieve some of the mistrust that some may have with those in charge of the icon’s estate.
-
May 27, 2014Jacko xscaped in a faulty pod, but now at least we’ve a worthy tribute.
-
May 22, 2014It may have taken five years, but Xscape is the posthumous album that does more than reminisce about Jackson’s legacy. It honors it.
