I’ve only very recently gotten more into Invincible. My issues were the same as the points made here; better tracks were left off, lack of consistency etc. But it’s grown on me an awful lot. In December it was literally the only album I listened to for the entire month.
The full Interview bellow is a must-listen.
I like what MJ himself said about the album;
MJ’s favourite 3 tracks: Unbreakable, Speechless, The Lost Children.
MJ: Ghosts will be released on dvd in America, in its entirety with making of.
The song MJ personally relates to most: Unbreakable. Cause I’m one of the few that’s been through the ins and outs of so many different things. I’ve been through hell and back. I have to be honest, and still I’m able to do what I do, and nothing can stop me. No one can stop me, no matter what. I stop when I’m ready to stop.
Are you planning to do anymore short films for Invincible? Specifically the really fast tracks such as 2000 Watts, Heartbreaker, Unbreakable and Invincible?Absolutely. And whoever said that said the right words when they said short films. There’s an encyclopaedia, an array of short films to make from the album. I can’t wait to do Threatened. Which is a kind of scary one with Rod Sterling from the twilight zone. I can’t wait to get my hands on that one.
MJ:Of all my albums this was the toughest, cause I was hardest on myself. I wrote so many songs I don’t want to say the number, just to get to the 16 I think are acceptable. And I didn’t have children before the other albums so I caught a lot of colds. So I was sick a lot. Cause my children had colds. So we’d stop and start again and stop. It was a tough one. But I enjoyed it very very much.
Are there any surprises on the album? It is what it is, and you can interpret it the way you want to interpret it. Other than maybe we’ll be releasing some surprise cd singles at some point. In the future though. That’s coming up.
