ok, I listened to the available songs from the RCM album, I really think the songs ( the ones I've heard so far )sound like their early stuff ( 78 - 84 ),but the tech beats seem to be a little much and it killed a lot of john's bass lines. I love tech - house stuff, but now i'm not sure about Timbaland's works.

I really want to listen to these songs without all the added beats, just the classic NICK, JOHN, and ROGER parts. what do you people think ?

I think they have evolved; staying true to their signature sound, but have also kept up with the "times". I love them, always have, always will

[realchic1999]

It looks more like "triple-duty" there...I saw Simon go towards a synth board during the bass solo.

This is one of the few songs I like in this new album.

[TxRedhead]

I've been a fan for going on 26 years and I think it's one of their best works yet.  It's bloody well brilliant.

brchris69. You are welcome to have your own opinion of this album. But you don['t need to call everyone else "Bitches" for those of us FANS who appreciate a little diversity from the band. If you don't like them anymore then don['t comment. Why are you even listening to this if you can't stand it???

where is this concert?

[sweetdealstar]

very nice bass John in this song good, electric tempo from Nick verry strong song great sound

[duran2reloaded]

I completely disagree with some of one but see your points. My Hi-Fidelity Top 5 D2 albums are 1. Medazzaland 2. Astronaut 3. Duran Duran (1981) 4. Red Carpet Massacre 5. Rio

And brchris69 has no brain.

I think they should have released this one first. Then Box Full O Honey. As for consistency throughout this album, I will put it up against any album save Rio. And it's current! I can't get excited about Rio like I used to. I love their high energy, high art propulsion, which is why The Valley, Planet Earth, Big Bang Generation, Too Much Information and Strange Behavior remix of Drowning Man are faves. I want to like the track Astronaut but just somethin missin like from that whole album.

I had to fly to Gibraltar to get the new album.Thank god it was tax-free.I think this one in particular is a stand-out track.But don´t blame anyone;they had to do something without Andy or Warren,and although it might not be their most eponymous effort,I do think it´s very brave of them trying out something different and not pampering us with a reflex-copy.You can´t blame them for selling out,maybe just for experimenting a lot.After all,Live they are still a great band,aren´t they?

Agreed, RCM is As Good As Notorious And Big Thing. When I played it first time, sounds unfamilliar feeling, stranged. but after 2 or 3 times, I found it a VERY very Duran Duran Album. I really wished Warren Had stayed.

[brchris69]

This song, RCM and Tempted are the only good songs on this piece of crap. AND BITCHES I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM THROUGH EVERYTHING. This album is the only one in 27 years I can say I dont like.

[rocioanahigracie]

great song , i love this album !!

[ooviedoc]

Not sure what's the definition of fan you're using, but so far I've read one or two additional comments supporting RCM after some thinking and analysis, that's what I was looking for. Thank you guys!

Well, by this time I've started to like the record, unfortunately looks like it'll be a commercial failure again. I've noticed an extremely lack of promotion in my country, a very high price for the record and no news about a venue in Mexico. That's sad.
