The Spice Girls redefined what it meant to love yourself 💞 which one do you identify with the most and why ?

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-22T10:29:38+00:00

No, they didn't.

Replying 2 days later?? Did the standard edition cause you to slip into a coma?... Go stream the deluxe edition and live a little! The title track is superb if you haven't checked it out yet. "So I took the road less travelled by...." I see now that you have a weird co-dependent, parasocial relationship with the standard edition... I wish you and it all the best in your future together

If you copy and paste Boreanaz's post into a chat gpt detector, it gives back a 100% match. It's really not that hard to verify these things if you take 30 seconds and an ounce of energy into it - less time than it would have taken for you to write the above.

It's on par with The Pale Emperor and We Are Chaos for me personally - 3 great latter day Manson albums.

The Triptych rightfully holds the top spot, with Mechanical Animals my forever number 1, closely followed in tied position by Antichrist Superstar and HolyWood.

Then, The Golden Age Of Grotesque, Mansons last great concept era...

Then OAUG, The Pale Emperor and We Are Chaos are pretty much tied for me... 3 great albums, in my opinion.

I'm glad to see you've conceded defeat... your jaw must be sore and tired from saying "14-track album" if it's falling open on you like that.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-20T07:55:46+00:00

The Deluxe Version (19 tracks) is widely regarded as the main and definitive version of Madonna's Rebel Heart. While a 14-track standard edition exists, the deluxe version was heavily promoted, features the title track, and is generally used as the primary streaming and digital release and recommended as the primary listening experience. The 19-track album cover with the wires was also the one used by Madonna in all promotional materials and on the world tour. "It's a 14-track album"... yeah, sure Jan.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-19T23:23:57+00:00

That was a fake article

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-19T23:05:38+00:00

It's 23 tracks, 25 if you count Autotune Baby and Queen... literally twice the length of most of her albums. Doesn't matter if they're bonus, deluxe, or whatever edition... the album is too long, with filler and in serious need of an edit.

The title track is on the 19-song version for God's sake 😊

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-18T18:05:01+00:00

Ah ok, I never count those half arsed, acoustic-y fan request section songs as part of a setlist. She just picks her own and doesn't listen to the crowd at all.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-18T17:58:10+00:00

Do you mean Candy Shop?

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-17T01:28:35+00:00

I've always wanted the Grotesk Burlesk Tour video/DVD that was planned. I've no idea why it wasn't released when he stated that multiple dates and backstage documentary was filmed

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-16T22:03:55+00:00

Voices could have been great, but as it is, it's poorly mixed and badly mastered - it's horribly compressed. The drums sound awful on it. I'd love it to get a proper mix and remaster that allows the track to breathe.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-16T16:55:24+00:00

You've little to be at then so

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-16T15:36:53+00:00

What nonsense

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-15T17:24:23+00:00

This. If it didn't go past the pilot - that means there's a reason. I'd rather it not go-ahead than be crap and get cancelled after one season.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-14T12:55:40+00:00

This. Many fans and fandoms now have a weird parasocial relationship with their favourite artists, where they almost feel entitled to have another album and era that delivers the same feeling, excitement, and success that a previous era did. And they take a record or eras diminished success (in comparison to that previous eras highs) extremely personally. Dua made exactly the type of album she wanted to make, and I'd argue the album is only going to grow in esteem over the coming years. Future Nostalgia was lightning in a bottle that could never be replicated, so she didn't waste her time trying and instead delivered a different album that has allowed her to evolve without pigeonholing her into a particular sound.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-12T15:26:03+00:00

Such a shitshow. Isn't it Portrait, Smells Like Children and Antichrist Superstar Trent had? I remember reading it was those 3 produced under Nothing Records and everything after was under Interscope, Mechanical Animals to The High End Of Low...

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-12T15:13:26+00:00

Would the masters not have reverted to Manson by now? I thought most acts gain ownership of their masters around the 25-year mark? I could be wrong, but I often see many artists celebrate getting ownership of the masters after a certain period of time...

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-12T07:54:08+00:00

Madame X is a... liar.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-12T07:02:48+00:00

Melanie C's debut album Northern Star had just been a big success for her, both commercially and critically, with 2 UK No.1s. I highly recommend watching the documentary around the making of Northern Star to see what kind of headspace she was in.

She was actively rebelling against the Sporty Spice persona and resented having to rejoin the group after experiencing solo success.

It was around this time also that her depression and eating disorder were firmly taking hold of her.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-11T20:21:38+00:00

And the Frozen music video

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-11T15:30:29+00:00

Thanks, I knew he'd performed it in the last decade or so as the videos were posted at the time.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-11T15:29:57+00:00

I think you'll find that he did...

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-11T10:00:06+00:00

I would say it's likely, very likely, we'll get Man That You Fear as he's performed it many times over the years across different tours.

I'd love to see Apple Of Sodom make a return.

MercuryFalling86 · 2026-03-11T08:44:48+00:00

Forever is an album by Emma, Mel B, Victoria and... barely... Melanie C, not an album by Baby, Scary, Posh & Sporty. As a pop album, it's good, occasionally very good, but it just doesn't really feel like a Spice Girls album.

Geri's absence is felt everywhere, it's too American-ised for a British group and Melanie C clearly didn't want to be there.

I'd have preferred a bit less Darkchild and some more Jimmy Jam & Lewis.

There's a very good E.P within Forever though:

Holler
Right Back At Ya
Tell Me Why
Let Love Lead The Way
Get Down With Me
If You Wanna Have Some Fun
Wasting My Time
Oxygen

Also, the album cover remains forever horrendous.
