    I know back on SL we were all pretty excited and got very surprised that the album was that good after that god awful Michael album back in 2010.

    I just listened to it again and d---, this album has aged pretty good after 1+ year of its release.The production is on point, except for that horrible beat on DYKWYCA, lol f---ing gameboy beat.
    Still very enjoyable from start to finish and that The Way You Make Me Feel vibe on A Place With No Name beat d--- :whew:
    Thoughts? You guys still enjoy it as much as when it came out?

    I thought it was pretty good, 7/10 imo, it was cool hearing unreleased MJ, especially remixed on Timbaland beats.

    There was a 30 second snippet of Place w/ No Name over the original America music that leaked the week he died. I've been dying to get the full version since then, so I was v excited about this album and enjoyed it for the better part of 2014.

    Place With No Name, Loving You, Slave to the Rhythm, Chicago are all top-caliber MJ songs, IMO.

    I still listen to it sometimes. I wasn't a big fan of all the remakes. DYKWYCA should have either been left off or had different production. I like it in theory, but there's at least 3 different versions of that song and I like none of them.

    His voice on the original demo of Love Never Felt So Good :allears:

    You should go listen to it bruh, and throw Behind The Mask from Michael album in there too, you wont be disappointed tbh.

    OG version of DYKWYCA is so d--- good tho and yeah Love Never Felt so Good is incredible.. I really like they kept the last part of that recording session in the song where Michael says ''Is that it?'' with that soft voice:emoji_heart_eyes:
    Some said back on SL that I was way too fast to count some of these songs on this album as some of his best work period, I still has the same opinion :idk:
