Free Music Review: A Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
Although this album may not have aged QUITE as well as Rio, it is a masterpiece. It was the overblown, overproduced, overly-poppy album that Duran Duran absolutely had to do -- and they did it perfectly.
Seven and the Ragged Tiger could have benefitted from some "breathing room" somewhere in the track listing (as in a spacious, breezy, tempo-free song), but at this point in their careers, the members of Duran Duran had no such "breathing room" in their chaotic lives, so I can see why this was reflected in the album.
I am a songwriter and have analyzed the theory behind these songs...let me just say, from a musical point of view, the chords and melodies are fascinating and incredibly original. The sheer number of key changes that go on in these songs, oftentimes without the listener even knowing, is hard to comprehend.
Duran Duran are infamous for not knowing the strength of their own songs. I've seen the set list of their current tour, with that God-forsaken Timbaland/Timberlake record they just released, and I think that these guys just don't know which of their classic songs to play. In terms of Seven and the Ragged Tiger, the biggest blunder of this kind was not including "Secret Oktober" on the album. It is one of the greatest recordings ever made.
Oh, and don't blame Simon for cryptic lyrics. I mean, come on, sometimes even MY head is "full of chopstick." Such lyrics were just his style...and not everyone can be Morrissey.
