Sorry to disappoint you guys but this is very good album! Up there with Invincible imo but shorter obviously.

 

No matter who sings Jacko's parts because the vocals are still better than almost any of today's pop stars.

 

I'm surprised really. '(I Can't Make It) Another Day' and 'Behind the Mask' are actually brilliant. 'Much Too Soon' is an adorable ballad.

I'll give it a go then I guess.

yeahh 'make it another day' is one of my favs, but on the whole the album is underperforming big time to what it was expected

 

 

i wonder if Sony will selve any other new material releases they had in the pipeline and just stick with revamping his old stuff every xmas? hmmm

You're sort of right...The album is quite weak in the middle. But like I said last three songs are truly brilliant. I adore 'Much Too Soon'...the accordion is just lovely.

Out of curiosity, I listened to the iTunes previews of each track. There were one of two tracks that sounded like they could be good, but what caught my attention on a couple of other tracks was Michael Jackson's vocals. I know there's been people claiming it's not him and for me it did seem like this (especially the tracks where Michael's vocals sound deeper in pitch, I never remember him sounding like that unless they've been autotuned?).

 

So no, won't be buying this. It's sad to think they enough demos to milk another 10 albums. If this is the "best" material, imagine what the 10th album is going to sound like. :manson:

Well there's a track on his Invincible album called 2,000 Watts in which his vocals were electronically deepened and it sounds nothing like him, even though they are obviously his vocals, so there's no reason why he/his producer wouldn't play around with the vocals to make them sound different again.

the album is good, but I would have prefered if they had kept them as a demo.Thw way that you love me for example, it was way better in the first version

 

 

i think they should have released monster or hollywood tonight as the lead single, at there MJ runs the track, with hold my hand it just seems like an akon track

 

i wonder if they will release a 2nd single from the album to boost sales after january time....??

 

 

 

looks like Hollywood Tonight has been confirmed as the 2nd single from the album....not convinced it will make an impact in the American and European charts though :mellow:
