A couple of months ago, I posted a review Michael Jackson: The Remix Suite III. It seems like there has been a little confusion on my part, and here is my attempt to clarify it.
First of all, what I reviewed wasn’t The Remix Suite III, but rather the entire Remix Suite. The label decided to launch the album of remixes in a series of waves rather than in one shot. I was meant to review the collection of five songs that comprised The Remix Suite III; however, I was sent the entire 12 songs of the album and mistakenly thought that those 12 were part of the The Remix Suite III. Consequently, I reviewed the entire collection.
Simple yet confusing, isn’t it not?
In any case, a copy of the actual CD came across my desk a couple of days ago, and I decided to add a little bit to the review.
As a reflection of the titles that were remixed in it, which all span Michael Jackson’s early career, the album’s design prominently features the 1970s. On the cover sits a young Michael on a throne (a reference to his later status as King of Pop, perhaps?), while inside, he is singing and dancing, oftentimes sporting the big grin which made him so endearing. The colour scheme is an interesting combination of retro rainbows in hues of yellow, oranges, and red with a more modern taming down of sorts.
The songs themselves are just as great as my initial review mentioned. However, I don’t think purchasing the CD is worth it, as it doesn’t give you much more than the digital copy (I was hoping for a secret track), and the quality of the digital copies are just as good as that of the CD (with the added bonus that no scratches will ever diminish their quality). But if you really are hankering for more pictures of Michael Jackson or another physical copy of a CD to add to your collection, then by all means, you should buy this CD.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! I'm actually working on a post on what I think MJ's best album is - and it might surprise you. It should be up by early January, I would love to have your opinion on that post, too!
Thanks for commenting!

I wholeheartedly agree regarding Invincible. "Break of Dawn" just might be my favorite. I love listening to that song.
