This album just isn't very good. Here's what I think 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 good. Everyone says Geri sounds great in this song but 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. Love Is The Only Light: This is the only song on the album were Geri sounds as though she's sincere in what she's saying. Not a great song but a nice ballad all the same.

7. Strength Of A Woman: Typical Geri. She's always going on about women being strong and now we're all forced to listen to how much better they are to men in her music - oh goodie!

8. Don't Call Me Baby: This isn't very good either. A 60's sounding thing that Connie Francis sould be singing, not Geri.

9. Lovey Dovey Stuff: Geri attempts R&B - and fails.

10. It's Raining Men: When I first heard this I was disgusted at Geri for killing a classic song with her crappy voice but it's all right now that I've heard it a few times. If you just ignore Geri's voice and enjoy the song it's ok.

11. Heaven And Hell (Being Geri Halliwell): I quite like this one. It's a bit weird but it's refreshing coz it gets away from that mad cheesy 60's thing she's got going on with this album.

12. I Was Made That Way: An average ballad. Nothing grand but at least being an average song it stands out above the rest.

This album lacks the sincerity and honesty that Scizophonic had. I've listened to this album a few times in the hope that it'd grow on me but I'll have to face the truth that it's just poor!

Geri Halliwell really can't sing.
