For the first album in ten years which is entirely composed of new songs this comes as a disappointing attempt at a commercial 'pop'record. Whilst there are a few standouts (the teeth shattering title track and the catchy 'You Rock My World') the album feels generally tired and uninspired and descends into utter slush with tracks like 'Lost Children' and 'Butterflies'. I suppose if it had come from any other artist it would be ok but from the self proclaimed 'King of Pop' it just lacks that spark that gets everyone so excited. It's a shame to say it but History was definately the last Jackson record which contains that spark.
