Free Music Notes for Duran Duran
Free Music Review: The star debut! Redifining the 80's.
Hit: 5 Stars
In 1981, residents of the United States of America needed something to entertain them. That 'something' is now known as "New Wave". There was Blondie, Missing Persons, Berlin, and A-Ha. A flock of seagulls and Falco were two other well known names in the 80's. But one band who stood above them all...one band who introduced another hot band to the 80's...one band who redifined the 80's...their name was Duran Duran. And here is the 3rd version of their debut album. The star debut.
"Girls On Film" basically saved MTV with its controversial music video. No, I don't mean controversy as in an Eminem parody. I mean controversial as in an uncensored, long romp of pure...uncensoredness. Despite the suggestive video, the song is still played at clubs and is a highly enjoyable song.
"Planet Earth" was the first music video I ever saw from Duran Duran, and I must admit I fell on the floor laughing at Simon's remarkable dancing. The song is very enjoyable to listen to because of its cheesyness. The keyboards are very...vintage, and Simon's voice is still shining.
"Anyone Out There" is my favorite song on this album. It's really fun to dance to, and I've even tried singing it. Didn't work too well...heh. I still love this song because of the awesome bass lines and the guitars that spell 80's all over them. Simon's voice is very relaxing, as it is in the next track.
"To the shore" has a cool machine-esque background music-type thing. Simon's voice is very moody and relaxing, and I'm really getting used to his pre-Thank You voice. It's much better than it is in some other albums...like Arena.
"Careless Memories" isn't the best song on this album, but it's pretty darn close. Very fast, very enjoyable, but not as good as the one on Arena. Although, on Arena, I could've sworn that Simon was saying "With a gasp in the rain" instead of "With a careless memories". Oh well, though.
"Night Boat" is eerie, and I'd watch the music video 60 times if I had to. It's a good song, and I love the music video so much only because it gave me nightmares in my 'younger years'. A very good Halloween-Esque song.
"Sound of Thunder" is another good dance song that was unfortunately never made into a single. That's a shame, because this and Anyone Out There were my favorite songs on the album. Very good. The pace of the song isn't too fast, nor too slow. Just perfect. Awesome song.
"Friends of Mine" is a little weird. It's talking about some friends that...weren't true friends...and...yeah. Not too sure about this one. It was okay, a good groove-esque pace, but those dark demonic voices were kinda scary. This one's in the upper middle on my scale.
"Tel Aviv" is THE best instrumental song D.D. has ever done. The orchestral beats are pure energetic, whereas the guitars are pure Duran. That cello is the best instrument in the song. Great stuff.
Overall, Duran Duran is the band that saved the 80's from pure extinction. Without Duran Duran, my name would probably read "Ryan 'culture club fan'". And that just doesn't sound as good as it does now...erm...I think. I love this album, and it's on my top ten, along with 8 other Duran albums and one Daft Punk.
Top Notch, guys.
