No, No, No was a decent-sized hit, they just ended up dumping the album once the second single flopped. With that said, just because something didn't sell in amazing numbers doesn't mean it held no influence. |

I listened to this album again today and I have to say it does get a hard time (from me even). It really is a solid album I found that I like every track on it (although I wasn't having fun as they keep going on and on "haaave some fuuuun" lol).

I do love the album. Of course it was never going to be the standard of Spice/Spiceworld, but still a good album.
I think the lack of Matt/Biff and Absolute did show. And even though they collaborated with Eliot Kennedy again it was only for one track. I wish they’d keep some of the 1999 songs they’d recorded with Matt and Biff rather than Rodney Jerkins/Darkchild dominating some much. Ideal tracklist would have been 10 songs - 4 from Matt and Biff (including Goodbye) 3 from Darkchild (Holler, LLLTW and Tell Me Why) 2 from Jam and Lewis (Oxygen and IYWHSF) and Eliot’s Right Back At Ya They really missed a trick releasing it so late, 3 years after Spiceworld but I guess we got Schizophonic and Northern Star in ‘99 at least |

Forever is such a solid album start to finish. Holler is top 3 Spice Girls, LLLTW is absolutely gorgeous and Emma has never sounded better. Goodbye is a masterpiece too. Of the album tracks I love the little 1, 2 punch if get down with me and wasting my time together. Tell me why has brilliant production and sounds fresh now.
Weekend love the rap is very jarring and the drip noise in Oxygen is so irritating but I can happily listen to the album through without skipping a track. Forever is a solid 8 or 8 and a half album. It is just Spice is a 10 and Spiceworld a 9 and a half |

Nice to see some praise for these two songs because often on DenDen they were two of the most criticised tracks on the album. Something I find interesting but strange is that people criticised them for sounding the same as each other, but I've never really understood that as I find them pretty different in terms of mood! QUOTE(sammy01 @ Apr 26 2020, 01:22 PM) the drip noise in Oxygen is so irritating Agreed  Sometimes it's all I can focus on if I play that track, it's such a strange production choice! It could be a much nicer track if the drip wasn't featured.

Always loved Wasting my Time. In late 2000 it was my favourite album track along with Right Back At Ya.
I remember there being a song called 'Woman' and the lyric 'louder baby, louder baby', after attending the show in 1999. I literally played the album in full and kept looking at the back of the CD to see the tracklist. I was convinced they'd changed the name of the song  Aged 9 I didn't know that not all songs make the final album

Holler is also one of their best videos, everything about Holler is 10/10.

I like Get Down With Me and Wasting My Time as solid album tracks...though I don't view them as potential single choices like some fans.
I think their problem is more in the context of the album. The novelty of the Spice Girls doing American-sounding r'n'b kinda wares off after Holler and Tell Me Why. By the time tracks 5 and 6 roll around, I think that's the point the album should have shifted off in some new, interesting direction. Instead it's...even more Darkchild-style r'n'b. Rodney Jerkins claimed at the time he wanted to do a rock song with them...and I think he should have to change up the album's dynamic. Frankly, he had Pain Proof sitting right there and might have been able to adapt it a bit to his style while retaining the guitars. But as standalone songs? I do like Get Down With Me and Wasting My Time. As a minor criticism, I think the ad-libs feel a bit forced at times on both. But both are legitimately catchy, and I find myself humming them sometimes. |

The Jam and Lewis tracks really are the most interesting tracks on Forever. They are like a progression of the Spice Girls sound but without moving too out of left field like they did with the majority of the Jerkins tracks.
If You Wanna Have Some Fun (trimmed down to about 4 minutes) was the ideal single and Oxygen has a spark to it about it that Weekend Love and Time Goes By don't have. Times Goes By is such a basic ballad, it has absolutely no build up or melody. |
