You may think its weird for me to review an album from 1997, and more importantly by the Spice Girls. Well the other day I was sorting out all my good CD’s and so had to put some old ones in the player. And up popped this. I was mad on this, and the first album, five years ago. So five years down, how is the girls’ second album sounding like? Here is my track by track guide: 1: Spice Up Your Life The debut single from the album. This was an upbeat stunner with an infectious “la la la la la la la” start (no, not like Kylie’s!), and a storming chorus. Still probably my favourite on the album, and it’s a nice track to listen ...  Read the complete review

On the contrary to what they last produced (album wise) this was really something different. It may only have ten songs on it again and four of which of those are released. The other six songs that are actually on the album are very good. They do have a different style to them. Which gives variety. The four hits are "Spice Up Your Life", "Stop", "Too Much" and "Viva Forever". All of which are reasonable songs, but the other six, especially the last few, are incredibly good. I don't know why they weren't released. Of course, the Spice Girls are old news and we really do not want to dwell on what ...  Read the complete review

When digging through my piles of ancient CDs and stumbling across 'Spiceworld' what can I say? I was estatic sadly. This is of course the 2nd album from the global whirlwind that were the Spice Girls. Although not as successful as their debut it still racked up a fair impressive amount of sales and spwaned a further three no1 singles here in the UK. Personally I perfer the record a lot more to 'Spice'. The songs are more grown up, the sound is a lot more modernised and it really is just miles away from the brash and cheesy nature of their debut. Unfortunately only 10 tracks are on offer here again. Stingy or what? 01 Spice Up Your Life ...  Read the complete review

Spiceworld was the second album released by 90s pop phenomenon The Spice Girls in 1997, a year after their debut. Like their first album, it spawned several singles: poptastic Spice Up Your Life, Motown-inspired Stop and Christmas ballad Too Much, the song which gave the group their second Christmas number one. The album also contains what was my favourite Spice Girls song and one of my favourite songs for years, Viva Forever, a sad Spanish-influenced ballad with a rather odd video. The other songs on the album are all very different. Never Give Up On The Good Times sounds very seventies; Move Over sounds futuristic and loud. Do It and Denying are softer, more ...  Read the complete review

In 1997 the Spice Girls were the biggest girlband in the world. They had topped the charts both here and in America and has become the biggest British girlband to have success in the USA in years. So, the pressure was really on them to release a decent follow up album to their debut mega hit 'Spice'. As with their debut album, 'Spiceworld' only had 10 tracks on the album, so were they aiming for quality over quantity and did they success. As you can expect from the Spice Girls, this album is full of hot pop tracks, rhythm, attitude, ballads and pure Spice! The opening song 'Spice Up Your Life' was the lead single from the album and reached ...  Read the complete review
