- BOOOOOOTTTTIIIIIMUSSSS!!!!

The king still Conquers the music world❤️

- Wonderful album

Wonder why the four stars? Well it would have been nice to have at least 12 songs heck I would have settled for 10 songs instead we get only 8. Love the whole album, but my all time favorites: Blue Gangsta Xscape Chicago A slave to the rhythm Loving you A place with no name My favorites could have easy been on MJ 's invincible album,it sounds still fresh and up to date after all these years. Oh and for those who think on the beginning of the song xscape when MJ sings that its not him, it is him he sings in a more lower registrar check 2,000 watts on the invincible album it's Michael also that lower singing was even brilliant and even sexy . I Miss MJ dearly don't boycott the album buy it to hear MJ and that wonderful voice like no other.

- Great Album!

This is a great album, I love the songs "Loving You" and "Slave To The Rhythm", they are just amazing!!! BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

- R.I.P

Rest in peace Michael Jackson 1959-2009

- Best album of 2014

One of Michael’s best. Truly a great masterpiece, and better than the original versions

- <3

Heavenly songs! So much luv, King of pop is back!

- There is no true rating

Michael has made modern music before modern was modern if you get what i mean. He's always emphasizing on the same message and for that he has encouraged my music carreer and I only wish i could thank him in person. Excellent album of an Execllent man

- GREAT.

All the songs are catchy

- 라인!

하지만 아직 서슬 푸른 바다가 보이는 것. 그러나 그는 살아 있는! ❤️❤️❤️

- It's Ok but...

When I heard "Love Never Felt So Good" for the first Time I was blown away because it sounded just like a Michael Jackson finished track & I feel so much joy listening to it! But the rest of the album kinda let me down because this producers didnt focus on finishing a Michael Jackson Record.. This producers focused on making a New record to the point where they made this album their own instead of Michael's and Because of this.. It does not have the same joy other MJ records Give. I enjoyed the album "Michael" way more than this one.

- XSCAPE

Like originals better

- A Respectful Production

The work contained within this album is very similar to the works in Michael's "Off The Wall" and "Invincible" albums. The overall treble and bass composition will make you want to get off of your feet and start dancing. Perhaps evident of Michael's early, unfortunate departure from Earth is the relatively repetitious lyrics such as the chorus repeats in "Chicago". Overall, however this is a great album and I would recommend to anyone, MJ fan or not.

- OMG!!!

What a great album it really feels like a Michael Jackson original album it just makes me want to dance if you are a MJ fan this is a album for you trust me.

- Buy The Demos

This album only contains remixes of the work that MJ left behind. All the tracks make drastic changes from the original work MJ did. They don’t sound like MJ and some work counter to the theme of the song. “Love Never Felt So Good” is the best track on here, but it’s Michael Jackson’s original demos that you really want and they’re on the deluxe edition. Skip these awful remixes and just buy the songs that Michael Jackson actually worked on - the demos.

- Long live MJ

I love Michael... I have a tattoo of him and this album is a gift to us the fans. ❤️ Amazing I could listen to him everyday. Thank you everyone who was involved to make this happen😊

- amazing as always

the king !!! 😭💓 he always knows what real music is his music will never ever die long live the king

- Love this body of work!!!!

The whole album is beyond words! It is a huge upgrade from the previous album released a few years ago. Out of all the songs on Michael Jackson's Exscape album, CHICAGO is on heavy rotation on my phone and in my car! Best MJ release since History!!!!

- Sounds Like a Hit

These songs sound really good and the producers really did a good job at keeping the essence of MJ's music in tact. I just wish Teddy Riley would have been given a song to get my new jack swing on to. Also, I wonder why none of these songs sound like Jason Malachi.

- 1958-FOREVER!!!!!!!

This is the best album you'll ever listen to and I'm not exaggerating. It's the truth!!!!! This is the kind of music that knocks you off your feet and start busting out some dance moves! This proves that mj is the real king of music!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing that he's making money while still dead. His legacy will live on forever! Let's keep reminding the world that Michael is the king! So ya, buy the album

- One More Thing

Hello all. I know it’s been over two months since I posted my review on this album and that I should have said this a lot, lot sooner, but I also really like “Love Never Felt So Good”, without Justin Timberlake, however. It’s quite catchy and uplifting.

- SAD

If you are a true MJ fan you would not buy this. Michael was a perfectionist, and all he cared about musically its art, not the money. This album is a violation of Michael. And in the words of Jermaine Jackson: "They’ve taken Michael Jackson and the whole Jackson legacy and made it just like everything else out there. When a Michael Jackson album came out, you were excited: What are the lyrics going to be? What is the hook going to be? They don’t understand this. It would be like taking a Picasso or a Monet and trying to do what they did, but you don’t understand the drive or thought process that went into it.”

- FANTASTIC

Every last song on this album is such a masterpiece. Both the original versions and the remake are OUTSTANDING. I bought this album plus download the originals and by far, Xscape was better than Michael. And the fact that they include the originals was a smart move!! 🙌🙌💯💯💯😊😊😊😊

- Perfection!

The best $10 I’ve spent in a long time! MJ is adding to his legacy in music even after his death!

- One word...

...obsessed!

- King of Pop is BACK!!

This album is amazing! King of pop is back & better than ever!!:)

- Best posthumous album

Xscape has brought a new sound to the pure original essence of MJ's songs. Songs like "Loving you" and "Love never felt so good" has been remixes to help bring out MJ's voice. I'm a little disappointed with Songs like Blue gangsta and slave to the a place with out no name because the original sounds so much better for some reason. Overall this is an great album as it doesn't take the purity away from the songs. Great album overall and worth the buy.

- Rest In Peace, MJ

I love you so much Michael❤️ you will be in my heart forever.

- love it!

it's amazing. rip mj. 💘

- Do you know where your children are?

oh, don't worry I think they are at Neverland Ranch! come on give me a break, this is the worst Jackson album ever. Stop putting out third rate MJ-songs just to make a quick buck. And those songs are third rate no question about it, there's a reason why thy have never been released when Jackson was still alive.

- THE MUSIC MASTER

I love Micheal Jackson and his music, this is a classic. Love Chicago!!!!

- This was my first iTunes music purchase❗️

I typically purchase my music on CD, then import in order to gain the benefit of having the booklet. This time, I purchased it directly from my iPhone and the download was complete early in the morning before I was finished getting dressed. The music sounds so perfect, it influenced me to purchasing a Bose SoundLink mini to compliment the quality of this music. Recommended: Yes

- Amazing Album

This album made me so happy to be honest because I never thought I would hear another MJ album and I did and it is amazing. Michael's voice is just like how I liked it when I first heard his music.

- Awesome

A twist on the unreleased classics

- Michael!

Michael, you will forever live in our heart of hearts. This is an amazing album, us fans just know it.

- GRAND

Masterfull on all standards! There will never a day when the world won't celebrate Michael Jackson's genius!

- I'd prefer a mixture of songs

I did buy the deluxe edition id rather buy it just to have the original songs but some of the songs that they edited it sound amazing! As well but I don't like "place without no name" edited edition but overall worth it :D

- Monsters

Michael would hate that whoever did this STOLE this off his computers and released it before it was ready. The reason that it was kept under wraps is because Michael was STILL working on it. But of course everyone is ready to make a quick dollar. Ridiculous

- aLL ABOUT YOU mj

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL

- Absolutely incredible

This album is a true throwback. classic MJ, My respect for Timbaland has grew immensely. everysong on this album/EP is excellent with the one exception of Xscape (it hasn't grown on me yet). simply put CLASSIC!

- NOT Recycled Crap....BUT Superb STUFF!

I originally wrote a scathing review of this cd ,calling it recycled crap. THEN I got the cd and listened to the whole thing. IF Michael were alive, THIS is the kind of cd that he would have put out. It captures HIM, always on the cutting edge, always pushing the envelope, always putting out nothing but the best. This light years beyond the previous effort that the estate put out and for me, is one I can listen to again and again. Will anything ever approach Bad, Thriller, Off the Wall etc stuff that Quincy JOnes produced? Nope, but this comes close. Enjoy.

- Amazing

Michael is truly one of a kind. Wonderful.

- Love It!!!

This is a very good album!!! I'm very glad I bought it!!!

- Wow, just hearing this

2019 and I am just hearing this album my Michael Jackson. The magic lives on!!

- I love Michael Jackson

Michael shall forever live on ! Beautiful album

- Bad Remixes

Most of the songs from this album were available previously as unreleased songs. The producers have just taken what were very good songs and ruined them by altering the instrumentals drastically. Change is not bad itself, but this is an example of bad change.

- Good but disrespectful😥

The King of pop still lives on, just wish he was alive to finish and produce it himself...I know all the songs would've sounded much different, maybe even better...?

- Mj is the best

One of the best albums mj made

- Still The King of Pop

I am a true life long fan of Michael Jackson. I grew up with my mom having his posters on the wall and seeing her dance to Off The Wall and Thriller. By the time Bad was released my mother stopped being a fan. I however, became the one who continued his music coming in the house. I was obsessed with Bad and the Dangerous. Then HIStory was what made me truly love and appreciate him as an artist like no other. Blood on the Dance Floor and then Invincible continued his very different style that kept him in a league of his own. I was so excited to see him withy he This Is It comeback, and like all of his core fans, felt a major sense of loss when he died. From Michael and Immortal to now Xscape, we still get to hear Michael from beyond the grave. Of course the remakes and production and collaborations may not exactly what Michael himself would have done. That's not the point of this music. The point is to keep his legacy growing and strengthening just like other mega stars that have gone in the past. The difference is, Michael was an artist first and a perfectionist. He was a business man as well. All 3 of those qualities create the music released after passing. I bought this album in the deluxe version because not only did it give me the trending contemporary style with prodigies helping him, it came with the original unedited versions that are the real Michael Jackson. I must say, when I listened to this album straight through from track 1 to 17 I cried. I miss him, and this album made me personally feel like he left us all a gift. Some do not truly appreciate this gift. I do. And I will continue to support Michael as an artist until I die. Love u n miss u Michael.

- Okay

I do not appreciate that the Jackson family is still reeping the benefits of their fallen brother.

- INCREDIBLE

This sondtrack is off the chain!

- 😭Not so good

His music isn’t like it used to be

- Xscape

This is pretty cool. I love MJ so I think this is pretty amazing but I do agree with the lowest review 👇 it isn't really fair for Micheal either.

- Great Album

I Got The Entire Album From A Friend. And I'm loving The Songs. He's The Greatest, The Best Of The Best,Miss You Michael.

- Really good

When you listen to a song in this album a lot your gonna LOVE them songs

- MJ does it again.

I was not expecting this album to be so good. I was expecting a hodge podge of songs slapped together that sounded unfinished & under produced. I am truly delighted with the quality of this album production wise and vocally. The one negative aspect here is the length of the album, I just can't get enough of it. I missed hearing MJ's voice flowing soulfully over a lush track. I can't say welcome back Michael, cause you never left.

- OMG AMAZING!

Yes! This is what I have been waiting for! I've only listened to a sample of the wonderful music this album features, and I am already starstruck. MJ, I am so proud to be a fan of your genius work of art, and it will live on forever!!

- Die Hard MJ Fan!

Can't wait for a second!!!!!

- HE IS THE GOD OF MUSIC

NO DOUBT THIS ALBUM WILL BE BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES OUT TODAY BY SHITTY ARTISTS LIKE: beyonce, rihanna, lorde, one republic, justin bieber, maroon 5, ariana grande, demi lavoto, selena gomez, psy, adele, the weeknd, paul walker, and everyone else who is overrated.

- Amazing

Greatest singer of all time

- OMG

FINALLY I PRE-ORDERED THIS AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER MJ ALBUM SINCE IMMORTAL

- Well...

I agree that this isn't right - in my opinion, anyway. Michael Jackson was a perfectionist. He had, in his own words, hundreds of songs that he'd written and recorded but never released because they weren't ready or they didn't make the cut. So who now gets to choose? Who gets to "finish" them? (And how? Could someone else take a paintbrush and finish Michelangelo's work? Same deal.) Who gets to choose what goes out for people to hear and have on a "Michael Jackson" album? To me, anything after 2009 is not real MJ. Btw, don't blame the Jackson family for this - they have nothing to do with it. It is the people in charge of MJs estate who makes these choices...and the money. The only Jackson's to profit in any way from anything the Estate does are Michael's mother and his three children - they are each meant to get a percentage of the Estate. But they don't make any decisions over what happens. So if you're looking for someone to blame, don't pick the Jackson's.

- XSCAPE !!!!!!!!

Omg this is gonna be the best album can't wait.

- Just Not Right

I don't think it's right that they release an album when Michael already passed away. It just doesn't feel right. Like, who made all the decisions on the album title and stuff like that??... Just another way for the Jackson family to make more money.

- Impatient.

I cant wait!

- He is alive!!!!!!

He just lived in Greenland and was working on this album

- c dla marde

aaaaa

- Slave to the rhythm!

Can't wait!

- BRILLIANT!!!

This album is already getting so many negative reviews and hatred. This album should be celebrated as well as his legacy. This is a celebration of Michael's work and it is such a perfect collection of songs. WE ARE STILL DANCING!!!!!

- Mj forever

I don't know what to say. I just want to remind the world that this is our MJ the same man that we screamed our lungs out for! He was the boss! Rest in peace and visit me in my dreams... Eli

- Average remixes .

The only remix that stands out ok this album is 'Love Never Felt So Good' because it still sounds similar to the original . The rest sound fake and only his voice is real .

- Finally

Finally they've announced a date and album cover! Been waiting ages for this! :D so excited Love you Michael

- Best Album of 2014

This Album is better then anything on the radio at the moment. I hope there is more to come in the future!

- GREAT ALBUM MJ

Amazing album I wish he was still alive so I could see him live :(

Didn't expect that... Fantastic! F great! (and no, I'm not his biggest fan)

- Brilliant songs can't wait, but...

The songs are amazing by the looks of things but stop milking the poor man, he had a hard life and DIED! Then producers have the coldest heart to be able to still make a few bob of of him? Diagusting

- Red

Looking forward to it

- The Return Of The King

Can't wait for this. In particular the tracks Slave and Chicago. Hopefully Timbaland did his part well.

- Wow!

Rocking album, every track makes me snap my fingers and dance! Vocals are outstanding, so vibrant and out front. Amazing job of making a cutting edge sound out of historic demo recordings! Props to the producers for this master piece!

- Amazing!!

All these songs are amazing but love the originals too so I went for the deluxe :-)

- Sublime

This is a classic Jackson track blending soul, disco and funk into a modern masterpiece. Brilliant!

- The King of pop will never die

Although I will never forgive him for stealing all the rights to many of my favourite ever band the Beatles songs and I still have my concerns about him marrying Lisa Marie Presley and I absolutely hated his plastic surgery, but Michael is awesome and I read recently he has made £87 million since he died which shows how popular he still is. My favourite song on this album is Slave to the Rhytym which is a classic sounding MJ song and a dance floor classic to Moonwalk to I also love beat it with Eddie Van Halen who is also awesome. I still can't believe he's gone.

- Xscape

Great album

- Xscape

The original recordings are the real Michael Jackson that I grew up listening to . The revamped versions do not do the great mans voice justice , but that's my opinion .Perhaps I will change my mind with time !

- Sorry, but not great

I was so excited about this Michael did not release these himself for a reason!! Buy a greatest hits album instead.

- Legend

This album is gonna be great cant wait on it to come out

- Go deluxe

The originals on the deluxe album are way better than the mixes. So buy that album instead and just delete the mixes. Then not a bad album.

- Xscape

King of pop! Great for todays generation to have a chance to hear the king of pop modernised. I honestly love this album. Chicago is my personal favourite. :)

- The King of Music

A must Buy. Unbelievable!!!

- Xscape

Amazing catchy songs!

- XSCAPE

So happy there's a new album on its way! The first single Love Never Felt So Good is amazing and is already climbing it's way to the top of the charts! Can'ty wait for the release of Xscape May 13th Already Pre-Ordered!

- Don't buy this

Plz don't buy this album sony are making money off micheals unreleased albums and they are the ones who killed MJ so open ur eyes

- luv u

mj

- Why May 13th?

This should come out on his birthday, August 29th! Not May 13th!

- THE KING LIVES

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST YET!!! THE KING LIVES

- Lessons Have Been Learned From Previous Posthumous Album

I have had the opporunity to listen to the tracks on the standard and deluxe editions of this album for the past week and a half. Of the two the deluxe edition is better. Why not stretch that extra four or so pounds and get the deluxe edition. Anyway, the standard edition is a stellar set of eight contemporised demonstration tracks recorded by Michael Jackson between 1983 and 2001. The quality of the production is second to none and there are a variety of producers. For the most part the vocals were extracted by the producers and production was seated over it. Unlike 'Michael' the production does not smother Jackson's iconic vocals, but enhances them greatly. The vocals themselves seem to be remastered and boosted allow them to pierce the overlayed production. Long story short, the vocals are at the centre of each song. Con: Timbaland and Jerome "JRoc" Harmon produced 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are" and after a week and a half of listening to it unbiasly, it still stands out as an uncomfortable track to listen to. While Rodney Jerkins asserts Jackson's possible love of such production, I'm not so sure. In this case, the original version on the deluxe edition is better than the contemporised version. Pro: The remaining tracks are well produced, adding an extra punch to the vocals, check out 'Loving You' for example. Timbaland's production is not overpowering. He is sympathetic to Jackson's vocal performance, which is admirable. 'Slave To The Rhythm' is the highlight of Timbaland's production. Stargate continue to respect the Jackson vocals, again giving them added power and rhythm. The documentary in the deluxe edition goes into some details about the various production tracks involved. A very enlightening moment in the documentary. The highlight of the album is the title track 'Xscape' which just oozes anger with those horns playing in the background. The lyrics of the song are crystal clear about who is getting abused, but the addition of the horns just emphasises that anger and frustration all the more, making by far the best contemporised track, that seemlessly complements the vocals no end. This album is posthumous, it will never live up to Thriller. Furthermore, I don't see why it should ever be compared to Thriller. A more fair comparison would be to HIStory: Past, Present and Future or Invincible. Compared to 'Michael', 'Xscape' just shoots it out of the sky. There is no contest. 'Michael' made some mistakes. 'Xscape' appears to be evidence that the Jackson Estate and Sony are going through a steep learning curve. Great to see. I hope the remaining two posthumous albums will be as cohesive and well produced as this one. For the moment, let's enjoy what is a job well done from Sony and the Jackson Estate.

- Posthumous "Xscape"

Tracklist is 1.Love never felt so good, 2.Chicago, 3.Lovin' You, 4. A Place with No Name, 5.Slave to the Rhythm, 6.Do you know where your children are, 7.Blue Gangsta, 8.Xscape As of today,Jacko's forst single "Love never felt so good" will be released.I listened the whole partial album.My favorite tracks are America's cover "A Place with no name", "Do you know where your children are" and "Love never felt so good".I have this album before it's released and "Itunes" is still keeping the track names confidential.Hurry up to release!

- Amazing!!

Outstanding music, great to listen to and easy on the ears, an absolute great buy.

- Great Listen! Classic MJ

Fresh, classy, smooth and contemporary. Listen to the vocal talent of a megastar. Unique arrangements and a album to blast out your speakers!

- A fitting tribute

No comparison can be made to albums released by MJ whilst he was alive, those albums were whole with their own individual sound and feel. Obviously this is now impossible, this is more a compilation and it can't be any other way. Now we've accepted that, I was thrilled to love most of the material on the album. The songs aren't perfect, again without MJ being there throughout the entire process, it can't be any other way. Such criticisms don't wash. My personal favourite is Place With No Name. I literally couldn't wipe the smile off my face, it felt like listening to MJ back in his groove. 1 or 2 songs aren't instant classics, but who cares, they may be to other people. A fitting tribute and honourable continuation of MJ's legacy.

- Brilliant !!

This is the album which should have been released instead of "Michael". The producers are people who Michael wanted to work with or actually did work with in the past. For the "fans" who are saying that these tracks are reject tracks need to wake up!! Could it be that the tracks were not correct for that time or did not fit in with the album?. Good to have fresh Michael tracks to listen to!.

- Love it!!

10/10<3

- King of pop
