Album Notes Duran Duran: Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Warren Cuccurullo. Additional personnel: Steve Ferrone (drums, percussion); Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Bosco (percussion); Lamya, Tessa Niles, Karen Hendrix, Jack Merigg (background vocals); Milton Nascimento. Commonly known as "The Wedding Album" to differentiate it from their self-titled 1981 debut, 1993's DURAN DURAN was an unexpected commercial comeback for Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, spawning two hit singles, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone," that were better than anything the band had done in nearly a decade. The rest of the album succeeds in subtly updating the classic Duran Duran sound without straying too far from their '80s chart-pop roots. The politicized "Too Much Information" and "Sin of the City" (concerning a disaster at a unlicensed New York dance club), are surprisingly aggressive tunes, but elsewhere, "None of the Above" and "Love Voodoo" are more traditional Duran fare. The album's two biggest surprises are the duet with Tropicalia superstar Milton Nasciemento on "Breath After Breath," and the surprisingly reverent take on the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale." | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews I love everything about this band!! I am 37 years old and have followed them since they hit the U.S. in 1980!! They are without a doubt the best band of all time. They are great! I love Simon LeBon. Review ID: 10000000008059237 Was this review helpful? Report this review I heard "Come undone" on the radio and had to have it. Awesome CD! Great e-bayer too!

Report this review Review created: 02/04/08 by: The Wedding Album is excellent, even with a couple of flat tracks (so many bands seem to have filler songs that they like but lack being either catchy or artistic). Having listened to D2 for over 20 years now, I respect their diverse abilities and penchant for trying out new sounds. Review ID: 10000000005400199 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 12/05/07 by: I have been listening to Duran Duran for as long as I can remember. They seem to carry on a similar sound and theme throughout their carreer but it works for them in my opinion. Check this album out for yourself. The singles on the album are slightly different from their usual work, but the rest of the album which is all new material not re-released, is similar to their 80's pop.

To me, an excellent rating would mean that I LOVE EACH and EVERY track from beginning to end! Though this release is a GREAT album, it does have one or two duds. I love Duran Duran, and really didn't appreciate their artistic style until I was a little older. The artistic style of this CD follows more of the current times with just enough Duran Duran flair to be unmistakable and a must own for true fans. The two HITS on this CD are Ordinary World & Come Undone, and in my opinion, both are great tracks! I think I listened to both tracks about 10 times per day when I broke up with my girlfriend at the time! Both songs have a somber yet promising feel. The rest of the CD has an interesting sound. It explores styles that were surprising to me Duran Duran would try. The good news, they do it well! One song even reminds me of a PRINCE song! (Shotgun) In conclusion, this is a good CD that would compliment any collection. Make it part of yours! Review ID: 10000000001662615 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
