    PLANET MJ - 25 Years Of Invincible

    On October 30, 2001, Michael Jackson released Invincible—his tenth, final, and arguably most misunderstood studio album.   25 years after its release, we’re opening up the vault to give Invincible the deep-dive re-evaluation it deserves. Has time been kinder to this 16-track project than contemporary critics were back in late 2001? How did the King of Pop navigate a rapidly shifting music landscape dominated by peak TRL pop, Jay-Z, Eminem, Boy Bands, Britney, and Christina? On this episode, Earnest ‘EJ’ Christian alongside music and culture journalists Matthew Allen and Chris Lacy examine the complicated boundary between artist and art: how much should Michael’s personal biography and public scrutiny shape the way we hear these tracks today? And finally, they wrap it all up by putting our personal preferences to the test and power ranking every single track on the album from #16 to #1. 📺: WATCH THIS EPISODE  https://youtu.be/EdQ7cwbuQko?si=wYamFEHvqNMght_E Michael Jackson's Invincible Turns 25: The Songs Didn't Change.
