| New Romantic/'80s-pop standard bearers Duran Duran were so perfectly representative of the musical zeitgeist of the '80s that few would have predicted they'd remain a viable entity in the 21st century, but as 2007's RED CARPET MASSACRE proves, the former teen idols have beaten the odds. The band manages to keep things contemporary without abandoning their classic sound; there are dance beats and touches of contemporary R&B and even hip-hop ("Skin Divers" features a guest rap from Timbaland), but the '80s Duranisms are always within reach. Singer Simon Le Bon is as much the Brian Ferry-gone-clubbing frontman as ever, by turns seductive and commanding, and Nick Rhodes's keyboards still retain that frothy, new wave sparkle that put the sugar coating on the group's many hits. |

Artist/Group
| Overview |
| At the dawn of the 1980s, Duran Duran was part of Britain's "futurist" or "new romantic" scene, which merged glam-rock attitude with disco beats and synthesizers to form an intensely fashion-conscious variant on new wave. With their good looks and pop hooks, the group ruled the music world for the first half of the decade. After that, there were numerous side projects (Arcadia, Power Station) and personnel changes, but the original band reunited to much ado in 2003. |

Pros: "Box Full O' Honey" ain't bad.
Cons: What's with the production? Why are they murdering my eardrums!!!!

| | Duran Duran delivers big with this beat driven cd!
by jengen, 5/26/2008 |

Pros: Awesome dance-ready tunes without the cheesy lyrics of most of today's pop songs.
Cons: Too sophisticated for today's Top 40 radio, so it won't get too much air play.
The Bottom Line: Buy Duran Duran's Red Carpet Massacre if you want to have fun with cleverly written beat-driven, dance-ready songs. Its like dance/techno/pop music for 30-40 somethings.
Review: I am a long-time fan of Duran Duran. I have stuck with them through their 80's hey-days, and the so-
