Free Music Review: The best Duran Duran album by far
Hit: 5 Stars
I was just the right age to be a Duranie - I was 15 during their 1983/1984 US tour - and I threw myself into it with gusto. I used to listen to the first three albums every single day. I still listen to those albums, but this, their second, seems to get on the playlist a bit more often. This is the only one of their albums that I own on vinyl, cassette, and CD, and have burned to extra CDs so I always have it in my car and by my computer. Obsessive? Yep, that's me. But who can resist the haunting beauty of Save a Prayer, the pop-iness of Hungry Like a Wolf and Rio, and the endless riddle of Simon's poetry?Free Music Review: POUND FOR POUND THE BEST.
Hit: 5 Stars
At a time when several pop/new wave records seemed to have little or no acutal musicianship, "Rio" showed up. This album has a sense of balance and dynamics that forces the listener to hang in there from beginning to end. Huge singles like "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Save a Prayer" fit seamlessly into a record that could have released any one of its tracks as a single. The production, while more sophisticated than the debut, has a clear rich tone which showcases the real talent this group had. (and still has)
Get it in the collection and enjoy a true gem from the 80's.
Free Music Review: This is a great album, better than most music today...so what if it was popular?
Hit: 4 Stars
Duran Duran gets a lot of crap by alternative/New Wave people as being a bunch of pretty boys from the UK who made good. I would prefer to listen to them (specifically this album) because it's damn good music. I love the song Hungry Like the Wolf, and I still play it to death 20 years after it was made. The title track and Save a Prayer are also fabulous songs too. If I had a chance to listen to Duran Duran or crappy indie rock from the 1990's, I'd still take these guys. And their videos were light years better than their contemporaries (and current "rock" stars). Go Simon, Nick, John, Andy, and Roger!
Free Music Review: Finally bought the Duran remasters and love them!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is like manna from heaven! Most artists' fanbases would be drooling over the ORIGINAL LP being reissued, complete with original mix. I can't understand the negative reviews. Yeah, it's not the old US version - but this is in my mind what the band themselves originally wanted us to hear. It's incredible and parts sound like a different album. "Hold Back the Rain" has always been my fave on this LP since I was 12 when it came out. I love this mix so much better and am really enjoying this.
