Rio
by Duran Duran
February 2nd, 2025 ~ #1 7/10 went in with low expectations since this was a new genre for me, was pleasantly surprised to find how ahead of its time this album was. i appreciate how polished and modern the sounds are, even more than 40 years after its release; i think that alone speaks volumes about its production. but it's clear that some tracks feel a bit dragged out (personally new religion, last chance on the stairway) overall though, not a bad listen. notable tracks: rio, my own way, hungry like the wolf, save a prayer
