Aug 23, 2022Underrated album someone my fav songs, night runner, box full o honey, falling down, tempted, red carpet etc.
It's a different take and DD switched their direction from traditional sounds but still not bad at all. This band is not afraid to experiment and doesn`t always play safe which most bands do. -

Dec 31, 2010With Red Carpet Massacre, Duran Duran are back with a collection of sophisticated, shimmery pop songs. They are as always flavoured bittersweet with regret and an occasional manly tear.

RayneFeb 9, 2008It seemed that Timbaland's help did pretty much good to DD sound. These songs are just next to perfection!!!

ObjectiveGuyJan 19, 2008Hmm...an example of how user reviews can't really be used since too many dedicated fans bias the score....

MajoJan 11, 2008Great, 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.

EdwinaL.Nov 25, 2007A much awaited album that has not disappointed. I love the fact that the sound is a little bit different, but still essentially Duran Duran. The more I listen the more I love it. Thanks guys!

TheAmazementNov 21, 2007A fantastic album, every single person who loves music should go to their local HMV and buy this now!!! All of the songs are fantastic in their own unique way, last man standing is by far the best track on the album for me, it has so much drama in it. Next to it is dirty great monster which is basically the new louder version of the chauffeur. It is simply the perfect album.

DianeJ.Nov 19, 2007Can't understand why Duran Duran get such bad reviews, their new album is different and has a much more modern edge to it but sounds great. Have listened to it loads now and it just gets better and better. Love it!!!

AliGNov 19, 2007I was skeptical of the collaborations behind this album, mostly due to over-saturation in the market by Timbaland. But after hearing the album, I find that, thankfully, there is just enough T&T to know there was some collaboration, but not enough to overpower the sound that is Duran Duran. Fabulous album from beginning to end!!

FSNov 19, 2007This album is pretty damn good. Listen it to it more than once before you pass judgment. I recommend Tempted, Skin Divers, Box Full of Honey, and Falling down.

GerardDNov 19, 2007Synths: perfect 10. Sketchy, vivid, tasteful. Nick Rhodes is a genius. Album as a whole sounds experimental while still sticking it's choruses into my head right away. I don't think this album is going to add any evergreens to DD's cv, but as an album it's one of their most inspiring, challenging, not neccessarily comfortable, but oh so well made.

SimonN.Nov 18, 2007Best album since Meddazaland, the collaborations on the whole work well, quite a lot of variety in the music, and not really a bad song, though varying levels of quality. For me, the standouts are Dirty Great Monster and Skin Divers.

The contributions of that tag-team of hitmakers take nothing away from the tightness and characteristic chic of the band--that they enhance the hypnotic sheen of Duran Duran, rather than subjugate it--makes a certain sense.
-
Duran Duran have updated their sound just enough to feel relevant, without embarrassing themselves in the process--no mean feat for a band in the throes of a midlife crisis.
-
Timberland gives the Fab Five a sleek funk track on 'Nite-Runner,' which could have been a leftover from "FutureSex/LoveSounds." Justin Timberlake even arrives to gloss it up--as far as Duran Duran are concerned, the union of the Timber-Snake is on the rise.
