1001 Albums Summary

Doesn't have the same flow as five leaves left .

Still sounds fantastic after all these years , Duran Duran are much more than a Japan tribute band. The highlights for me are the songs that were not released as singles., Such as lonely in your nightmare or The Chauffeur.

I was quite surprised to have heard some of these tracks before , unknowingly. Very vibrant, I love the interesting guitar rhythms . But by the end I thought the album tired & too many songs were similar.

The slower numbers such as Love aint for keeping & the very proggy The song is over remain highlights. The classic Won't get fooled again certainly provides a shift of pace. Otherwise the album is a mish mash without any real cohesion. The combination of Moon & Entwhistle remain of top form throughout but not enough to lift this album past mediocre.
