Get Down with Me has aged well for me! It's funky and boppy, definitely one of the catchier songs of the album. I've come around to the idea that it might have made a nice single, maybe towards the end of the era (had it been a normal 4 singles kind of campaign).

'Get Down With Me' is so groovy and funky :music: ~ The first half of this album is so strong and consistent.

Interestingly Let Love Lead the Way was initially planned to be the comeback single just by itself :o I'm glad they brought Holler into the mix (and ended up giving it the stronger push of the two), because their singles run is sorely lacking in uptempo numbers as it is, and Holler set the tone of the era as being something a bit different for them.

 

The Spice Girls really do enjoy a ballad, wanting to launch Forever with one, and then leading the Greatest Hits with Headlines :drama:

 

 

Seriously!?!? Why? What is wrong with them they are the Spice Girls they represent FUN PARTY TIMES. Don't get me wrong their ballads are beautiful but stick to Christmas (with the exception of VF) for the ballads and uptempo otherwise or as an accompany a-side to a stomper

Yet another solid track *.* Probably my least favourite of the five so far but still good!

Get Down With Me is SUCH a tune... this SHOULD have been the single released after H/LLTW

Track 6: Wasting My Time

Interesting! Yeah I think 'Holler' was needed to show their new sense of direction, although I have to say the album so far is much poppier than I was expecting! I think I actually prefer everything so far to 'Holler'! :o

 

'Get Down With Me' continuing the standard of good songs!

Who was the one who treated you so bad that you felt that you had to do to me what she had done to you? :o

Wasting My Time is a real Waste Of Time, No Mel B on this track either :mellow:

The first filler track here :( It's nice enough, but far from a favourite!

I basically like the album version of Right Back At Ya...but the Earls Court version and the leaked demo sound like a far more natural fit to me.

 

On the album, the revisions to the way the verses are sung (mainly Victoria's) have always just sounded off to me. I'm also irrationally irked by Emma's ad-libs being the exact same the first two times we hear the full chorus.

 

On the flip side...I find the leaked demo to be perfection. I think Darkchild's better off handling production duties for songs he also wrote...so it's in his style from the get-go.

Love Wasting my time. Such a good groove and I’ve always enjoyed it. One of the strongest album tracks

Wasting my time is a bit of a filler but it reflects that the album is strong as it's still a solid track!

Wasting My Time was my favourite album track when the album came out! :lol: Not a popular opinion, for sure. I don't think it's my favourite any more, but I do love it. I can't say I particularly understand why fans felt this was identical to Get Down with Me, for me it has quite a different vibe to it.

 

It's certainly a very Melanie C heavy track. It would have been nice if Mel B had contributed some vocals, but I suppose it's interesting to have a Spice Girls trio song!

 

:music:

Track 7: Weekend Love

 

Wasting My Time definitely the weakest thus far but not bad! Just doesn't quite stand out as much.

Another nosedive in terms of quality. 'Weekend Love' is a bit to twee for me. Nice enough, but not a standout.

Weekend Love is cute but that Mel B rap is just horrendous

Melanie C and Emma the only two who contributed to every Spice Girls track :wub:

 

I find the inclusion of a track without Mel B on the album ridiculous though seriously :blink:

I prefer the pop version too! Mel B's rap fits in much better with that original production. I find it kind of interesting that her exact same take of that rap was kept for the R&B version, whereas other vocals were re-recorded!
