    Let's admit: their timing was terrible, they should've stick to their bubble gum party pop instead of going with heavy R&B influences (well, the space of R&B influenced girlgroups was well filled by Destiny's Child and TLC already). However, it showed that they can sound mature and give realistic romantic proposals, unlike the previous two albums.

    This isn't the original Spice Girls we intended it to be. Now as a Spice Girl fan, it hasn't had an amazing hit from it. Yes, maybe "Holler" took its turn, but the rest of the album had less, yet horrid promotion. And the chart stats of this album wasn't an improvement either. And if they were a current band right now, their albums would have been the best, but not this..... "album" you say.

    i feel it was a very good last try. its my favorite spice girls album and think it was seriuosly underated, Holloer and Get Down With Me are my two favorite dance songs, so infectious as well as fun. The four ballads on the album absolutely shine Let Love Lead The Way and Time Goes By definitely demonstrate their vocal power, i loved the tag team vocals in these songs.

    If this is supposed to be a comeback, Spice Girls is about as vivid as a month-old fish. Monotony is the keyword for this horrible collection of sugary-sweet and peppy girlgroupmusic. But this does not surprise me; the fact that people still swallow this is no far from incomprehensible.

    they did it again... stylish image, smooth sound, classic lyrics... far better than their solo projects (atleast only in my humble opinion :P)

    This cd sucked!!!! it was the worst cd I have ever heard. I made the mistake of buying it and am now suffering the consequences. The song comming right back at you is so stupid. They didnt come right back at us because their cd bombed!!!!!!!!!

    It's been almost five years since England's Spice Girls had people smiling or sneering. Their third album, Forever, will probably provoke a reaction somewhere in the middle -- with one exception, it's just OK.

    The set oozes with timely funk beats and the kind of well-crafted songs that No. 1 hits are made of.

    A frothy soufflé of an album, heavy on the groovy dance beats and go-girl goodwill, light on profundity.
