Free Music Notes for Red Carpet Massacre
Free Music Review: hurried up with rap and dance
Hit: 2 Stars
This album really missed the boat. Its like listening to Justin Timberlake's album with vocals provided by Simon. I mean except for Simon and Nick, JT and Roger just took the ride with them and sat in the corner while Timberlake/Timbaland took Simon to the office and ask him to now sing on these beats. The worst thing is that JT is promoting this album like he produced it. The only thing you hear is drum machines and keyboard noises and then rapper comes in. Man I cannot believe that Sony really pushed DD to do hip/hop dance stuff and in the process could not provide a producer or visa for Andy T for the reportage album. Which makes up for Red Carpet Massacre, a disaster. Free Music Review: Enduring Talent!!!

Perhaps I am a little late with this review, yet I just dicovered this little gem last summer and it has finally revealed its worth! It is priceless. I have been buying Duran albumns since 1982. They just keep getting better. The problem with music reviews is time. Most of the bad reviews were posted within a month of the records release. It is obviously,something that should be savored. These people who post negative reviews should delete them or revise them.
This disc is dark even for the "Durans". Most of their work has various criticism of the world we live on. This one sums up the very culture that has swallowed itself. Sort of like "Saturn eating his children". Why does Justin Timberlake have to be on every one's record? I feel the track he wrote is the weakest! He is just a footnote for the theme of the record! Commercialism, hype, tabloids, and paparazzi. Need I say more?
Enter a band that has been around within those flashbulbs for years. At least they look great in it! I am one of those rare male Duran fans who like the music, no matter who is in the band. There are a few tracks that could be skipped. Yet the good ones, may be some of the best the band has ever offered! Basically the second half of the recording is flawless from "Tempted" on!
Frightning, electronic dance tracks infest this classic "Duran" fare. I particularly love "She's Too Much". It is the brightest moment on the disc. Indeed, as the music industry grinds to a halt, Duran Duan may be the "Last Man Standing"!

4,5 stars.
I always had very mixed feelings about Duran Duran. They were the ultimate 80's band, and I HATE 80's music, and Duran Duran recorded som stinkers in their heyday (Wild Boys, anyone?). But if you look back, they've also managed to write a dozen (or so) rather classy pop songs during their long-lasting career. Admittedly, for me, they've been few and far between, but I do think that the following songs deserve some respect: Planet Earth, Save A Prayer, Notorious, Skin Trade, A Matter Of Feeling, I Don't Want Your Love, All She Wants Is, Too Late Marlene, Edge Of America, Ordinary World, Come Undone, Someone Else Not Me, Pop Trash Movie and the unreleased demo A Matter Of Fact. And pretty much every song off Red Carpet Massacre. I don't care that much for the title track, but the majority of the other songs are of very high quality, my favorites being the Timbaland productions Night Runner (very funky beat), Skin Divers, and Tempted, as well as Falling Down (their best ballad since Ordinary World), the delicious Box O' Honey and She's Too Much (seemingly about Simon Le Bon's daughter).

I honestly feel this is one of duran durans top 3 albums. Right up there with Rio & The Wedding Album..... Astronaut was excellent as well. All 12 tracks on this disc are solid. Tons of harmony,solid beats & typical strong lyrics & melody from Le Bon. Wish there was a little more guitar on the disc although Falling Down has some nice guitar work on it. As far as pop albums go this is a top notch effort. Very worth yof 4 stars. My favorite tracks are The Valley, Tempted, Shes too much, & Dirty Great Monster.

You 'so called Duran Duran fans' need your ears washing out! This is a good album! Some DD fans siad the same about Pop Trash and Medazzaland, and they are good albums. I like this a lot better than the wedding Album. Give it a chance. 5 stars easy!
