Imagine something post-grunge meets Guns'N'Roses delivered with the intensity of Rage Against The Machine but without the hip-hop beats.
Does that make sense?
(see, one eye shut already!)
Strongly disagree. Sony dropped promotion of it and thus there were only two main singles, none of which Michael wanted to release. Was going to do a major Sci-fi music video for Unbreakable. Heartbreaker was one of the first dubstep songs, in 2001 mind you. Furthermore, Break of Dawn got into the American Charts without being a single. You Rock My World, one of the signals that actually was 'promoted', reused Dangerous' dance move such the lack of care Michael had at the time. Whatever Happens was another song which, if promoted would have been one of his biggest hits. He wasn't even apart of the Cry music video. Yes the album went for a little long, however it was experimental at the time, he took the good bits out of Dangerous and History and put them together to make this album. I enjoy this album the most out of any of his others. Even the front cover of the album was supposed to look like the Golden Boy photo, until Sony changed it to the grey crap he ended up with
Well those bootlegs weren't misleading at all...
Im a huge MJ fan but I dont think it really mattered what Sony did with the record. MJ was never gonna be like he used to be because of all the allegations thrown at him.Strongly disagree.

Sony ruined this album, it was his fastest selling one. He knew they were going to ruin it/and him too, he sings about this subliminally throughout the whole album. But anyway, I just wish I could have been older in 2001 to enjoy it when it first released.
PS Dangerous 25 should be out this year too.
I agree but I think the promotion thing still ruined it. Maybe that could have been the case for the USA, but worldwide he was still massive. And he knew that. That's why the History world tour didn't have any american shows and that only wrapped up in 1997, only four years before. Although I was too young back then, looking back, I reckon the hype was still there, he sold 10 million albums. I think the plan of having catchy music video for unbreakable, would have opened him up to the new generation. It was the new type of music, especially Heartbreaker, even now you could almost promote heartbreaker as being 'dubstep with actual lyrics'. They could have been huge with radio play. I just think that no promotion couldn't open it up to new fans. And because every reporter hated it because it wasn't Thriller, so they gave it 6/10. He tried his hardest.
