    I wanted to like the album. I ordered the deluxe version from the UK. After a listen through, I have to say I don't care for all the guest vocals and can't remember a single catchy song. Just being honest.

    This album is for everyone. It has all the elements. It has pop, rock, dark even Japanese pop, funk, you name it. My favorite songs from the album are
    Wing, invisible, Hammerhead, give it all up, future past. etc
    The whole album is amazing from the beginning to the end.

    It takes a couple of plays for the songs to individually stand out. Simon le Bon’s still remarkably youthful voice remains the most recognisable element but John Taylor’s bass and Nick Rhodes’s ear for keyboard shade come into their own, while Roger Taylor retains his steady presence on drums.

    Duran Duran are taking some calculated risks here which sometimes means they stumble -- occasionally, the ballads feel a shade strident -- but the restlessness makes for a kinetic, exciting album.

    Shouty Japanese pop-punk quartet Chai guest on wonderfully bleepy “More Joy!”, Giorgio Moroder assists with the thrilling digital disco of “Beautiful Lies”, Bowie’s pianist Mike Garson guests on the elegant ballad “Falling”, while producer Erol Alkan adds a dancefloor-friendly sheen to proceedings.
