Xscape General Discussion

[AlwaysThere]

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

What I think about Always There's criticism:

you supposedly didn't mean to be rude but you were. Everyone has the right to express their opinions

I, by no means, intend to be rude. I love having debates with people because, at times, it really does open my eyes. BUT, there are some members here (I won't be a jerk and name them individually) who only post about the album cover and how much they hate it. And it's annoying to be quite honest. It's not just an album cover; it's an entire album. Talk about what songs you're excited for. Talk about what songs you wish were released. Talk about the promotion. Talk about the first single. Anything. Don't focus on the cover and the cover only because it's unnecessary.

It's not an opinion when it's the only thing someone posts about; then, it's simply ruining the fun for everyone else. And I, like others, would rather have these people just stay out of the thread.

And that is why I most of the time are to scared to post and state my opinion.. I only read at this point, but I do feel a lot about a lot of things but I keep it to myself. Just so no one will be annoyed with me..

No, no, no, don't be! Opinions are heavily encouraged. This is what I'm trying to say:

In this thread, we mostly speak about the album and its contents, the promotional effort, what single will be released first, etc. For the most part, it's all positive with the exception of a few opposite views (which are totally fine). But there are a few users that will only post about their distaste for the album cover and refuse to join any other discussion. It's these opinions that annoy people, not the general opinions.

Never be afraid to post your opinion here, so long as you speak about other things, lol. I don't expect everyone to love every aspect of the new album. But don't focus on the negative often; focus on the positive. It makes it a better place

I want to Xscape to A Place With No Name and Slave To The Rhythm at 12 O' Clock but Love Never Felt So Good cause She Was Lovin' Me

It was about 12 O'clock and, to keep it PG-13, She Was Loving Me. I never wanted it to end... Love Never Felt So Good before. But after a while she was acting like a Slave to the Rhythm and kept talking about her desire to Xscape to A Place With No Name. And now she's gone, leaving me, the Blue Gangsta.

I was thinking, the unidentified track is from the bad sessions, it's a mid tempo 'love' song and we never heard it before. Most importantly, it's Off The Wall-esque or how they spelled it.

Could it be Groove Of Midnight? (They finally found the vocals?).

I don't blame you. But I'll back you up, even if I disagree with you.

Everyone here should be free to state their opinions.

I speak for myself, I haven't just posted about the cover. We don't have many things to discuss anyway because we haven't listened to the whole album yet.

About DYKWYCA, I wonder if we'll the version with the added guitar solo.

Hahaha amazing.

I want to Xscape to A Place With No Name with Blue Gangsta. Her Love Never Felt So Good especially the way She Was Lovin' Me back in Chicago. It's 12 O' Clock now and we are a Slave to the Rhythm.

No offence to Steve but I always felt the solo was a bit 'dated' sounding...

I'm really sorry you feel like this bad25. I'm sorry you don't see what many of us see. :group:
Stainless steel is in fashion by the way
Thing is, Most of us really agree that they did right with the choice of cover. It Is a conversation piece. It IS original. It IS exciting and maybe penetrating....Loud .. It certainly seems to match the Xscape snippet we were given so I believe the Strong imagery will also be a reflection of the sound inside.

Just wait till you see it physically dear? His eyes are beautiful bad25 ...i'm so glad they focused on his whole face. It is recent enough for me and it is so cleverly created...might I say lovingly created/selected [?]
Anyways it really does look like it was taken just yesterday. That's the magic of Maitland's craft.

I love reading peoples views and what this cover art image might mean to them. Because in art we all see things differently, No one is wrong .

I love the cover. It shows Michael in a futuristic manner and accentuates those penetrating eyes of his. I love the poster at Times Square, now that is powerful!

I really hope they don't change the bridge in Xscape! I just LOVE that bridge - the harmonies (are they harmonies?) are gorgeous!

They never said it is from Bad sessions. They just said it is from the '80. Some even said it is from the '70.

I don't thonk so. It's a known song (to fans). Also it's already been heard.

I think the solo is amazing. One of the best I've heard and one of my favourite parts of the song.

One of the reviewers said that the guitar solo is amazing in Timbaland's version. And I think he used Steve's.

I'm not saying it's bad per se. Just feels, yeah, dated.

I really hope overall the promotion will be better this time around and I hope it's on the radio too. I hope people give it a chance.

The chance is small that it is, but I have to say it would be cool. Big fan of that song.

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

So it seems we won't have the version it was leaked in 2010, I personally loved the solo but it's a matter of taste. I think I read the only difference to that 2010 version with the original demo was that guitar solo, I may be wrong.

I can't wait to hear Michael's orginal demo of STTR. I've never liked Tricky's techno music but the vocals are superb!

I accidentally heard that a new MJ's album was going to be released in May. Is this info true?

I don't think it's dated. But we'll see how Timbo will “contemporize” it.

Yeah, it would be great to hear that song. But I think the song is Stop Throwing Your Life Away from the Bad sessions (just because it was considered for MICHAEL and Neff-U remixed it in 2010).

Re: News and discussion about new MJ album : Xscape, May 13, 2014.

Yep, May 13. You can pre order it on Amazon and iTunes already.
It includes 8 tracks on the standard version but if you want to have the original demos, you should but the deluxe edition.
