    This is perhaps the worst Janet album. Her voice sounds like a processed disfigurement of what it once was. It's bereft of notable moments beyond the passable single "no sleep". Its unfortunate to see an icon whose taste and directions always offered the best version of whatever sound intrigued her. No. Instead we're given cookie cutter pop rnb(emphasis on pop) . It doesn't feel singularThis is perhaps the worst Janet album. Her voice sounds like a processed disfigurement of what it once was.

    Too often, when Janet needs Jam & Lewis to "gimme a beat," they don't. [Dec 2015, p.108]

    Overall Unbreakable, while it feels like Terry, Jimmy and Janet may have over saturated the album with essentially too many tracks (if there can be too much Ms. Jackson if you're nasty) making the album more than 60 minutes of run time, it works.

    All-in-all, Janet has made an album that is sophisticated and personal, but carrying that trademark carefree, freewheeling atmosphere that makes her so wonderful.
