 The cool of Duran Duran Nov 24, 2009
When you watch the dvd you realize the band was excited to try a new path and revist their club roots. I think the duran fans really let them down when they failed to suport this album. I find it hard to believe true fans wouldn't have found enough songs to make it worth the purchase. Just a symbolic knod to keep tying to make more albums and not make them all the same. This cd wasn't for everyone but compare it to Pop Trash and Liberty and you'll realize even behind the sometimes to much electronics this is a true effort on their part. I love this album because I'm a true pop music and dance fan since the late 70's. I think the Duran base needs to get over Rio and embrace this albumsforward approch, it's fun!I think the band was behind this cd until they recieved the sales numbers. The dvd shows they were having a good time.Later we hear John Taylor saying the band told their backers this style was a bad idea.This album has variety and in a word is cool. Skin divers and nite Runner I guess is just to young for it's rocking chair 40's crowd but I refuse to be so boring.The young crowd may not have embraced this cd but this is not their band. Maybe if they had made a complete dance cd like Madonna made they would have captured this crowd.I think the track Tempted stands up to any Madonna dance tracks. It's amazing! This album is cool to cool for some but Duran fans who failed to suport this cd from the start don't know what their missing.A chance to embrace variety to embrace the style art andcool of Duran Duran.

Underrated DD Album that grows on you Dec 16, 2008
When I first heard the single "Falling Down" I was expecting a straight forward Duran album, full of melody and easy classic tracks. For me their last album, "Astronaut" was a major dissapointment, and not the classic to equal the hype of the original 5 line-up. This album however appeals to me more and grows on you from each listen.
When Andy Taylor left the band, I was delighted, his style no longer suited the style the band needed, and Live he just didn't fit in making a mess of none Andy Taylor tracks i.e. "Ordinary World" and "Notorious" he has one stlye of playing and that's it. Red Carpet Massacre has some surprise moments on there like the "Night-Runner" track with Timberlands trademark all over it. I loved Pop Trash, and find this album in the same vein, a very underrated well produced Duran album, definately worth more than one listen.

Red Carpet quality Jun 06, 2008
I waited a few months to review this album because I like to know if the album has a good 'stay' factor for me. In fact, I love this album even more over time. It's a fun mix of layered DD sound and dance grooves, along with several soulful songs reminiscent of Ordinary World and Come Undone. The first 3 tracks, The Valley, Red Carpet Massacre and Nite Runner all start the dance feel but then Falling Down brings a reality check showing why DD is so versatile and talented. Simon LeBon's lyrics are at times fun and at others more relatable. I can't count how many times I feel like dancing my way through traffic while listening to this in my car. Tempted and Skin Divers bring you back into that "I just have to move and sing along" feeling. If you ever get a chance to see this album performed live, you'll love it even more. Enjoy RCM !!!
