Ne-Yo?) could've been top ten hits. Sure, the length is a problem - just like it was for HIStory or Dangerous, two other albums that would've been great at 9-10 tracks but were way long at 15-16 (and I suspect we would've said the same of Thriller if it featured 16 instead of 9 songs) - but there's a lot of good stuff to cherrypick here, and his singing is as good as ever.

The mix was so compressed and 'loud' it literally gave me a headache every time I tried to play the CD. How can I enjoy a CD that gives me a headache? Couldn't they mix and master this any better?<br><br>I sold the vinyl LP long ago so I don't know if it sounded any better, and I had kept it sealed. I sure wanted to like it though. For sure "You Rock My World" was a slice of the MJ of old and it was nice to hear him on the radio again. Sadly the experience of hearing it on CD ruined it for me.
