This is my style! Tack 😍

"Finest hour" is so epic, i can hear that on repeat - definitely my favorite Duran Duran song from that era

I've been a Duranie from the get go and I love every single one of their albums, the first 3 of course being my absolutes, but then when Warren stepped into the picture he really was the perfect fit for someone to step in and take over the GIGANTIC shoes Andy left behind. This album is just one of those albums that still sounds so fresh and innovative in their catalog even above Medazzaland, which I love but can never really listen to all the way through. It's such a bummer that because this album charted terribly they were so dismissive of it (the band) at least that's the impression I get from their interviews. This album is classic Duran with a little Missing Persons and the coming of the 90's house grooves and fashions. I really hope this album gets a proper re-release. This album is A+++, Warren and the boys SLAYED!!!! RE-ISSUE PLEASE!!!! One more thing, Nick's synth layering on My Antartica is next level!!!

I used to rewind that Bass solo from John in 'Get it on' on my Walkman time after time....and here I am in my late 40s, STILL seeking it out and loving it!!! Such a great combo of musicians in this line up and unreal energy!!

This one is likely going to be weird for me. Going in I know that Timbalan has never made a song I like. Neither has Justin Timberlake. That's just not my thing, my scene. It doesn't appeal to me. The Valley. I did not like the contrast between the vocals and the electronic stuff. I do like that break, or middle part, with the cool bass and IMO the whole song should have taken that direction with a totally different vocal idea. Red Carpet Massacre started off nice enough. though it might be cool, but then nope. It just sounds like a bad At The Drive In to me, but with a drum machine. Nite-Runner. It sounds like a song Tim wrote for Justine. The most non-Duran Duran song I've heard so far. Hard pass. Falling Down. I can't get up. Nope. Pass. Box Full O' Honey. The Beatles. (I thought it before you said it, of course though) Best track, by far, so far. Skin Divers. Terrible. Pass. Tempted. I'd sooner enjoy eating mud, at a pig farm. Tricked Out. Weakest guitar sound ever. Kind of thought of The Doors for a sec but then it went Castlevania. While not exciting, it was better 6 out of the 7 songs before it. Zoom In. The synth bass sucks imo but the song could have been way cooler with less repetition and a more band orientated sound. Too bad. Still better than most of the tracks before it. She's Too Much. Started off nice, then the beat came in and I went full on BOOOO, but ignoring that it started to sound good, but then that horrible cross-mod synth sound. Why? It just didn't need it, imo. Welp another song that could have been better with just a few changes. Sufferin Succotash. Dirty Great Monster. Don't dig the drum sound. Its ok though. Not something I'd likely listen to again on purpose though. The saxophone (Simon Willescroft) was cool though. Last Man Standing. Start off terrible, but transitioned nicely into the vocal and drums (which bore me too soon) and synths. Its just the overall Timbalan sound of it that ruins a track that could have been better, imo of course. What can I say, I never liked his sound. It just loops on forever. On to All You Need Is Now? I like a few songs from your recommends list btw. Especially Linea Aspera and Keluar, which were already known to me. Wish they would make more music.

Heyy , Can you react on OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The dark) discography please ? Thanks

Every track is fabulous! ☄️☄️

❤❤❤❤

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Le Bon said it was the most pretentious album ever made lol.

The electric guitar solo in ordinary world is one of the best in the entire music world/History ☝️💪💪

Please react to the British band Magnum, för example When the world comes down, at the Symphony Hall

I bought this album at 9AM the morning that it was released. I Graduated High School in May '87. This album was part of my life soundtrack. Nick was the entire reason I started playing Keyboards, and Simon was part of my lyrical reason to write, especially starting with Arcadia. Too bad I don't have Simon's range, LOL. I got to see this tour, the Big Thing Tour, and Astronaut twice, where I got to meet Nick, Simon, and Roger.

To me, "So Misled" is the most like a Power Station song, minus Andy.

You should have seen Simon do "Skin Trade" Live on this tour. He laid down and "made Love" to his mic stand, pumping and grinding on top of it. The Girls went NUTS.

I think that this entire album as a whole is better than Future Past.

Thank you very much, I thought I was the only one in the world who loved this album so much with its magnificent songs. I don't understand why it was so shunned when it came out. Over time, it is the Duran Duran album that best crosses the ages. And that's a very good sign. Merci Beaucoup !

Beauty album duran duran ❤

Hi Glitter Kitty, i hope your well neighbour Brooke Freeman ( Sydney ). Love the DD album reviews, and I like your perspective being a musician...like me also I'm a bassist. Keep up the great work. 👍🙏🤗

I'm pretty sure Who do you think you are is about Warren ,not John.

You should check out Classic albums, the making of Rio.

Where is Glitter Kitty? I hope everything is ok

Was never a big MJ fan but this one of my first albums along with Rio by DD and some others. Everyone was getting this album so had to I guess...but good one

One of the band's most underrated albuns.

I was hoping to like this album a lot more given the fact that it's the OG lineup. Also, Simon's voice/tone sounds so different on most of this album. There's some cool stuff in almost every song. I like the funk guitars, some synth stuff here and there, the bass pretty much everywhere, some of the change ups like in Point of No Return, to name some, but most of the choruses didn't click with me. The only song I like all the way through is Finest Hour. I'd like it more with a natural, or more human, production style. Just personal taste. Still Breathing is freaking nice instrumentally imo, and I like the vocal composition too, but I wish Simon from much earlier albums sang on it, if that makes sense. It would have been perfect. One of Those Days, you thought Nirvana, I thought The Smashing Pumpkins.😁 It's def a clean production. Everything sounds executed with mechanical like precision. I'm not the biggest fan of that now very common style of production personally. Again, appreciate the vid On to Red Carpet Massacre then

Sin of The City is out of the ordinary and I never thought I would like it so much because when I listen to it I noticed 2 references in this song despite the incredible guitar presence that Warren did on this album. The sound part reminded me of a sample from a demo from the Liberty album called Bootleneck, there is a part that is a reference to Simon singing and John's bass part reminded me of the track Undergoing Treatment from the Medazzaland album, I heard the presence bass at the beginning, but it's a little slower. John's backing vocals on Sin of the City I take my hat off to hearing him and Simon on the chorus.

Ordinary World It's one of the sounds that plays very frequently here in Brazil on the radio. I listen to both the studio version and live 😊

When I listen to Shelter it reminds me a little of Big Thing with Liberty but a little more enhanced. Warren's guitar sound on this track is very edgy and mesmerizing with Simon singing. Great Work on Wedding Album I must recognize their work. ❤❤

My TOP 5 Songs Favorites: Ordinary World Sin of The City (I love listening to it almost every day lol) Love Voodoo Shelter (I listened to it recently and I consider it one of my favorites with Ordinary World) Shotgun

Lady Xanax is definitely my fave on the album.

I wasn't expecting to hear anything approaching hard rock, or even metal. K, so that's cool. I'm going with: Best track: Prototypes (because it reminds me of Skinny Puppy) Last Day on Earth Mars Meets Venus Hallucinating Elvis Overall, it's alright. It didn't wow me. I'm unlikely to go out of my way to listen to it again given all the many many choices I have but I'm glad I gave it a listen. Up next, Astronaut Thanks

Whammy bar.

They performed Some Like It Hot and Bang A Gong on Saturday Night Live which really showed the world Duran's Rock side and proved to doubters that Duran Duran wasn't a boy band.

Have you heard Duran Duran do Some Like It Hot, post Power Station?

Check out the full length Original video. It's more risqué.

Another very 90s sounding album to my ears. Breaks, filtered vox, electronic rock, electronica, alt rock. They even put a record scratch in the last track. All very familiar 90s to me. Out of My Mind Silva Halo Be My Icon (was someone listening to NIN?) Who Do You Think You Are?, the way Simon sang it kinda made think of The Beatles a little. All in all I actually like the sound of this album more than The Wedding Album. It's the darkness, pushing on dissonant/atonal stuff. Thanks again, and on to Pop Trash.

First off, favorite track: Drive By So I think they did Perfect Day pretty good, I do prefer the original. Just the sound of the original recording alone. Super warm. Ball Of Confusion, interesting take on it. I kinda like it. It's also still pretty relevant in many ways, lyrically. 911 Is A Joke threw me so off 🤣it's terrible imo 🤣but watching your initial reaction to it was totally worth it. 🤣 I love The Doors! I've been listening to them my whole life. Seriously, from infancy. Mom swears before that, while she was preggo. DD's cover isn't bad but the OG is magic. I'll leave it at that. Now to find out what the deal is with Medazzaland. As always, enjoyed the vid. Thanks. .

I totally forgot about Ordinary World. Jeez. This album sounds so 90s soft/alt rock/dance. Overall the 90s alt rock stuff is alright, not always my kind of thing in general but it's a big improvement over Liberty imo. As for 90s dance music, I tend not to like it. This is no exception. EDM, with a few rare exceptions, has never really been my thing. In the 90s I listened to mostly stuff like Faith No More, The Cure, Pixies, NIN, Skinny Puppy (all started in the 80s or earlier), tons of metal, Testament, Sepultura, Pantera, ect (most of them started in the 80s) and a lot of 60s, 70s rock like The Doors, Deep Purple, Heart, ect. 90s pop music never appealed to me much. The same is true for 2k forward so if I like any of these 90s+ Duran Duran songs at all I'm calling it a win. Top tracks: Love Voodoo, Come Undone, & Ordinary World. Femme Fatale gives me Imagine by John Lennon vibes, a little. Never heard the original TVU song. Well on to Thank You, and thank you. Enjoyed the vid.

For Hotehead maybe he was channeling his inner Edwin Starr, or maybe his inner War, the band. IDK. I know that plugin. Waves. Top tracks: Nope. Pass 😮‍💨 Maybe I'll have better luck on the next one. On to Duran Duran (The Wedding Album)

The Rolling Stone critic you quote at the last track probably can't do a real job, so he just comes up with wordy ways to criticize what he could never do. IMO, Thank You is Brilliant ❤. Check out the B-sides.

Perfect Day followed by Roxy Music's Avalon album is a perfect romantic date combo.

The cover of White Lines was a Warning tip of the hat to the band's previous drug issues.

Any critic who dismissed this album had their ears up their arse.

So this is the last Duran Duran album I heard. Unfortunately I haven't changed my mind about it. Despite the fact that they used far less session players (4) on this album, compared to Notorious, they manage to sound even less like Duran Duran. It basically sounds like another band featuring Duran Duran. 😁 The way he sings 'Do You Believe in Shame?' reminds of Creedence Clearwater Revival - Susie Q, only I actually like Susie Q. Maybe producer Jonathan Elias had some influence on the sound of this record? He produced Bulletproof Heart for Grace Jones. Top tracks for me: All She Wants Is, but the repetitive "all she wants is" gets a bit old quick. Unfortunately that's it for me. I'll give the album another shot next year. As of now this album is a skip. On to Liberty, which I never heard before. From here on out everything will be new to me. Excited, but a bit of pessimism. 90s onward, not my favorite decades for music with a few exceptions. I hope I love it.

I don't get at all why you shouldn't try to breakdown Simon's lyrics. Seems like an unreasonable demand/request to me. Maybe I'm missing some kind of context. Anyhow . . . Top tracks for me, rather the only songs I actually like: Notorious (the most, by a lot), Vertigo (is cool but), & A Matter of Feeling. The later kinda reminds me of a George Michael jam for some reason but I still dig it. About that but . . . I like Vertigo but what gets to me is all synth/horn stabs. Too many for this song imo. I would have preferred to hear a guitar play that part, if they had to be there at all. When they go away, the song is great. A lot of this album sounds like 80s sessions player stuff, which I guess technically it is. 14 musicians worked on this album, among other personnel. That's a lot of musicians for a 3 member band. 😁 It barely sounds like Duran Duran the band imo. Put it this way, If I never heard this album before, and you took out Simon's vocal tracks, I couldn't tell you that these are Duran Duran songs. Maybe, just maybe, I would be able to pick out John Taylor, but if I could I'd likely think he joined another band, or it's another side project. Enjoyed the reaction, presentation and commentary. You're super cool. Thanks. On to Big Thing

Duran Duran are a fab group / band and have some timeless classic songs. Personally , Rio is one of the best albums along with their next, Seven and the Ragged Tiger. I don't know which is better, but they are both great. For me, their later albums in 1980s and from the 1990s onwards didn't really interest me much unfortunately. Thank You for the videos Glitterkitty !! Best Wishes from Jon in Wales GB ; UK.

Now this album I play frequently so Interesting to see a reaction to it. Also, I've grown to love Andy Taylor's playing. He pulled me out of the every guitar part has to be fast and or super complicated state of mind. He also got me into Rock and Funk playing (coming from Metal/Classical/Spanish, but then Prince kinda took over the Funk stuff for me. 😁 Top songs for me: Some Like It Hot (of course) & Lonely Tonight Those drums on Some Like It Hot though. Hit hard af, smashed to heck, and hard gated. Tons of room sound. Slamming!

LMAO! I Actually Looked 90+ percent like Nick at this time. He was a MAJOR Influence on me. These days, his money keeps him looking better than me, despite him being just a few years older than me.

You asked how many Multi-Tracks? As an engineer, I'm guessing 32 or 48. Definitely more than 24. It's not a flute. It's the Ocarina that Simon used on "Save A Prayer".
