...Labour. The good old spiteful NME said it all really: “Cataclysmically delusional harpy, self-hating exhibitionist, shameless media manipulator - by rights, Geri Halliwell should be as endlessly fascinating a mad bonkers pop star as Eminem. In reality, she plumbs Jim Belushi-esque depths of startling idiocy, and remains, for the smart CD:UK generation, an embarrassment. “'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster', then, is the sound of Crisis Spice ...

Review of Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - Geri Halliwell

Ø Introduction ============== Geri Halliwell’s anticipated second album, the follow-up to the hit album “Schizophonic” was the petrol fuelled “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster” Like the previous album which spawned three consecutive number one singles, this album seems to be doing like wise. The first release, “It’s Raining Men” a cover of the weather girls track that is on the Bridget Jones Diary soundtrack, ...
...name sake of the album, seems to be heading the same way. Ø The Songs =========== The Second single release “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster” is what opens this album and what a start it is! The first thing that can be heard is the chugging and then roaring of a motor engine like a motor bike and then the song begins along with guitars and loads more. This is a highly charged rock/pop type track, which is a great opener for this album. ...

Although Geri's voice has never been great it fits really good with this upbeat track. This was the second single released from the album and it did well in the UK charts, although I did not like the video. This is a perfect song for a disco and a great beginning to the album. 2.SHAKE YOUR BOOTIE CUTIE-This starts off poorly with Geri trying ...

Review of Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - Geri Halliwell

...the title track… SCREAM IF YOU WANNA GO FASTER This is fast, catchy and very easy to get into. For a while, I was convinced there was a line where she sings “Gimme some, gimme some Vaseline” but rather disappointingly, it’s ‘gasoline’, oh well. According to the little red logos in the album booklet, this song is ‘for the mind’ and ‘to make you move’. I wouldn’t say it was particularly ...
...find yourself wiggling along to, then singing later on. My Score = 8 out of 10 SHAKE YOUR BOOTIE CUTIE Hmmm, sickly-sweet title. This reminds me of last year’s Bag It Up – lyrics full of sound-bites and Americanisms (Perhaps she’s spending too much time there?) but very little beyond superficial pop. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I love vapid pop, but compared to her weightier songs, it just seems a bit bland and ...

...my track-by track listing! Scream If You Wanna Go Faster The title track (nah, you don’t say!) and it’s not hard to see why. Beginning with a revving runaway car, it’s straight into a 60s tinged Austin Powers meets the Monkees meets rock, monster of a tune. Yeah Baby! Shake Your Beauty Cutie How thoughtful. Geri’s given us her very own workout number. “Hello Daddy baby, Hello sexy mummas,” she purrs before asking in her normal dulcet tones, “Is ...
...get out of your bed and into your body.” How could anyone resist? Naff, but addictive. Calling In a recent interview on ‘That Gay Show’, Geri revealed that George Michael has raved about this track. It’s not hard to understand why: it’s a composing-by-numbers George slushy number if ever there was one! Still mighty fine though. Feels Like Sex Has Geri been adopted by kick-ass aliens? Think what would happen if Destiny’s Child discovered rock, ...

Review of Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - Geri Halliwell

You're probably wondering why the title of my opinion seems a little bit irrelevant to the topic...well...in fact it is the song title of track number 4. on the album. What I like about this album is that each song is individual and shows off her talent at the best. Her last album entitled 'Schizophonic' similarly satisfied me, but this one is great...if not better. 'Scream if you wanna go faster' is one of my favourite albums in my collection at ...
...of music, that you can never get bored, and it suits almost any mood that your in, whether it be fun, on the go and exciting...all the way through to upset, sad and angry. She allows no limitations on her voice and her hopelessly catchy tunes are sure to stick in your head. Since splitting with the Spice Girl's, her success has soared far more than any of the other four girls...she is the only one at present with 2 top of the chart albums along with ...

...a track-by-track review follows: Scream If You Wanna Go Faster A brilliant start to the album, starting with the sound of Dragsters, the song turns out to be a brilliantly written affair, the song sounds familiar although thats not a bad thing, incredably catchy and is the next single to be taken from the album Shake Your Bootie Cutie Written with Alex from New Radicles, this is a funky dance song which is better than Bag It Up which it is similar ...
...really long and uses great voice decoders which make Geri sound wicked, cool song! about Ricky Martins "Bootie" apparently! Calling The first slow song and a beleter at that, a perfect song about trying to call for your true love. This is Geri's fave song from the album and a likely single. A great pop ballad and Geris voice sounds great on it. Feels Like Sex A cheeky song, originally going to be the first single but Raining Men was chosen instead. ...

Review of Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - Geri Halliwell

...misses ~ 1 ~ Scream If You Wanna Go Faster This song has very American feel to it and very upbeat and fun. It is one of the better tracks on the album although you still get the feeling that Geri’s vocals are strained a little. The lyrics are fun and the theme is pop, I love the chorus it is fairly powerful and shows that Geri may have a bit to offer on this latest offering. 2 ~ Shake Your Bootie Cutie This is another fun pop song with lots of ...
...but there is no sign of thanks to Robbie on the CD unless it is done in a more meaningful way that only him and Geri know! Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, you may be screaming but don’t expect to go all that fast. © Squidget 2001 ...

...- 1 - Scream if You Wanna Go Faster The first and title track starts with a revving car before bursting into a guitar riff intro before Geri's sultry but ultimately limited vocals burst into a hyped up rock fest, chanting "gimme some gimme some gasoline". An interesting start, lending slightly from 60's rock 'n roll. 7/10 - 2 - Shake Your Bootie Cutie This is a disco-inspired party track as the name suggests, with little to expand the mind (those ...
...ditties are what Geri does best, and with a massive feel-good chorus it's one of the better tracks from the album; it's the attempts at serious song-writing where she goes wrong... 8/10 - 3 - Calling ...and here's exhibit A. It's pleasant enough I suppose, but ends up sounding ultimately dull and flat. Has a slight latin-vibe but this can't save this very mediocre track sounding mildy interesting. 5/10 - 4 - Feels Like Sex This is more like ...

...Scream if you wanna go faster The track begins with the cranking up of a car engine, which then zooms away, blending into the intro. Some nice guitar chords and drums then enter setting a catchy, 4/4 beat. Geri's angelic tones enter, and the verse continues. The memorable 'Scream if you wanna go faster...' chorus then takes over, and keeps going for about 30 seconds. There's then a guitar solo, followed by the second verse. The song continues similarly ...

...the cover of Geri Halliwells Scream If You Wanna Go Faster does. Geri looks athletic, fit, happy and sexy. Does the album sound as good as the cover though? The title track opens the album and this is a good upbeat start. Its quite a good song but already there is an impression that the lyrics needed a bit more work or at least a bit more thought. There is also a feeling that the song was put together and Geri just sang over the top of it. The vocals ...
...in. Shake Your Bootie Cutie follows and this sounds like a song recorded for a fitness video. It drives along at a fair pace but Geris vocals sound a bit thin again. Is it her or is it the production. She seems exposed without a lot of backing. Calling is next up which is quite a good latin feel song. Nicely mid tempo it has a good relaxing feel. Feels Like Sex though is a bit of a mess. It sounds like Milli Vanilli on a bad day with oddly distorted ...

...of each song: 1. Scream if you wanna go faster: Rubbish! Annoying! Goes right through me. I forgot how it went once it finished. It's like a cheap 60's pop/rock novelty b-side. 2. Shake your booty cutie: Exactly the same as Scream If You Wanna Go Faster. The same style. Basically rubbish. 3. Calling: This is supposed to be the Walk Away of the album but lacks the sincerity it had. It's not very catchy either like Walk Away. It's just not very ...
...she doesn't do anything different with her voice here that stands out - just the same basic unstretched limited voice. 4. Feels Like Sex: Sounds the same as track 1 & 2 - rubbish! 5. Circles Round The Moon: Brilliant! No really - this one is sooo good. It's really catchy but it sounds like something else. This should be a single coz it's definately got number 1 potetntial! 6.

Review of Scream If You Wanna Go Faster - Geri Halliwell

Since leaving the Spice Girls, Geri has achieved 4 solo number 1 singles and a double-platinum debut album ('Schizophonic'). Now it's time for the follow-up album - 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster'. 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster' is a move forward for the ex-Spice Girl. The lyrics are stronger, and the melodies are richer. Geri admitted to lacking in confidence during the recording of 'Schizophonic', but with this new album, it is clear that she ...
...abilities. The album, like its predecessor, has a mixture of sounds and musical genres. There is Motown ("Don't Call Me Baby") acoustic ballads ("Love Is The Only Light"), rock ("Heaven And Hell (Being Geri Halliwell)") and even reggae ("Lovey Dovey Stuff"). This variety makes the album interesting and stops it from being repetitive. There are no fillers on this album. The closest a track comes to being a filler is the current Number 1 single, ...

what a shame that geri halliwell isnt as successful in making music as she is at losing weight. although much thinner and with better stylists, geri still lacks one important thing, talent. the entire album is weak and lacking in any real substance. each track is instantly forgettable because at the end of the day, whatever she weighs, whoever she hires to dress her and style her hair, ms halliwell is totally talentless, as this album reflects. the ...

I loved Geri's first album and thought it was brilliant and her follow-up album is sure to please all fans. There are rocky pop tunes such as the dance rock of "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" and the very Geri style of "Shake Your Bootie Cutie" and "Feels Like Sex" which are both funky and catchy in the style of "Bag It Up". There is also the huge UK #1 smash hit "It's Raining Men" which rocks and the fan favourite "Heaven And Hell [Being Geri Halliwell] ...
...suprise everyone, there ain't many songs like this..a real treat! Plus my favourite would have to be the brillantly sung ballad "Circles Round The Moon" such a catchy piece of pop, this girl knows how to make good pop music...This is a great follow-up album...So many great songs..it's all just sooo good! ...
