Duran Duran achieves the best of both culture and nature here. They deliver high art and innovation but not at the expense of a rhythm that hooks into your visceral substrate and raises your blood pressure. I prefer DDs own tracks (The Valley; Box Full O Honey ; Tricked Out ; and Last Man Standing) to the collaborative works but Skin Divers is a seamless work. I do think DD is overrating Falling Down and I'll never really understand who Nite Runner is supposed to appeal to. These tracks strike a juvenile chord that shows Timberlake's handprints (sound very Boy Band), but I loved the album overall. I just wish DD produced more tracks like The Valley (my new favorite). I don't understand why the album received such negative reviews by the music pundits. However the album might deviate from the ideal (and our high standard for DD), even their 3rd or 4th best track is better than anything else I hear on the billboard charts.

i listened to this album free, 8 times before buying itbecause i havnt liked an entire duran duran album since notorious. And even though i wanted a harder rocking more mysterious sound from them, i couldnt help but fall for the infectious melodies and footmoving rhythmns. This is just a really fun, dance-pop record, with a few slow songs thrown in, and theres not a bad song in he bunch, theyre all as catchy as hell. Couldnt keep up my resistance, i had to buy it!

It seemed that Timbaland's help did pretty much good to DD sound. These songs are just next to perfection!!!
Objective Guy gave it a6:
Hmm...an example of how user reviews can't really be used since too many dedicated fans bias the score....
Imrich L. gave it a10:
The best one since Notorious.
Majo gave it a10:
Great, I like it!!! Best album since Big Thing! All songs are fantastic except Falling Down, because this track is too sweet for me. My favorites are She´s Too Much, Tricked Out, Zoom In and Nite-Runner.
