A creative low point: 'Invincible'

( C.F. THAM / Associated Press )

Meanwhile, the albums that followed "Bad" -- 1991's "Dangerous," 1995's "HIStory: Past, Present, and Future, Book I" and 2001's "Invincible" -- failed to attract the attention, praise or sales of his previous work. Times critic Robert Hillburn wrote that "Invincible," in particular, "the low point" in his career, "frequently sappy, derivative and labored." At the time it came out, "Invincible" was the most expensive album ever produced, according to inudstry insiders.
