Michael Jackson's double-disc HIStory: Past, Present, and Future, Book I is a monumental achievement of ego.

That can't be said for the second disc, called "HIStory Continues" and consisting entirely of new material – which also happens to be the first material he released since being accused of child molestation. "HIStory Continues" is easily the most personal album Jackson has recorded.
