Good first album (2004-06-28)  A great first album with hits like Girls on Film (totally sarcastic song and you wonder how anyone could ever take it seriously), Planet Earth and also other good songs that aren't so well known such as Friends of Mine and Waiting for the Nightboat (which has one of the longest intros, though still not as long as "Funeral for a Friend", I don't think). Careless Memories is great too but the live version is so much better and has much more life to it. Tel Aviv is completely instrumental, no lyrics, kind of pretty but not my favorite.Anyway, recommended to fans. The first two songs you can get on the decade album or Greatest if those are the only two you like.If this is remastered, or anything, I won't comment on that because I am clueless to it.
The band that saved rock and roll (2004-06-25)  In 1981, when America was under the cruel politics of then president Reagan, rock and roll was at its lowest point. We endured the likes of the Eagles, Heart, Peter Frampton, Yes, Rush, and, perhaps the worst offenders of them all, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. The public had a hunger for change and wanted a rock and roll band that didn't insult their intelligence. Then came Duran Duran, and this is their fantastic debut. They totally ushered in a new era that changed the way we think. They introduced MTV culture, without which music is worthless. Classics like "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth" are awesome. You have to hear it! Five stars! Buy now! Highly recommended!
awful (2004-06-23)  DURAN DURAN WHO?????????.does anybody listen to these cheesy guys anymore.noooooo!!!!!!!!!!.in our school days you would be called a pansy if you listened to fluff liked duran duran and spandau ballet.tough guys like us listened to led zeppelin,ac/dc,pink floyd and black sabbath.avoid this horrible cd and get the debut cd from pink floyd instead.
Still the best 23 years later (2004-03-23) Duran Duran's debut album has always been my favorite of all of the band's albums and it sounds great remastered. The songs really come alive again. My favorite songs are Friends of Mine, Sound of Thunder, Careless Memories, Girls on Film and Planet Earth. This album really fuses dance and rock, particularly in the above mentioned songs. Their subsequent albums though wonderful, never quite captured that edge again. There's a raw energy that hints of things of come. It perfectly exemplifies "New Wave" at it's best. My only quibble is I am one of the few people who really doesn't like TO THE SHORE, but in keeping with the original 1981 UK release, I guess it fits. This album is a great introduction for those unfamiliar with the band or for those who just know the hits. I highly recommend it.
Duran's First (2004-03-05) Duran Duran's self-titled debut was released in the UK in 1981 and was a smash hit. The album did not catch on in the US. It took the release of the band's second album Rio and the inventive videos that were staples on MTV to propel this album into the US top ten two years later in 1983. As an added attraction the re-release featured a new song, the number four hit, "Is There Something I Should Know?". This remastered version is the original English version minus that track. The first five tracks, which comprised the album's first side, are songs that in the traditional DD vein. The first two tracks, "Girls On Film" and "Planet Earth" are the most familiar and still sound great twenty-three years later. "Careless Memories" was a minor hit in America and "Anyone Out There" and "To The Shore" embodies the pop sensibilities that made the group a success. The final four songs are a complete 180-degree turn from the first five. They are atmospheric, moody and brooding numbers that find the band turning inward and introspective. The band has always sited Roxy Music as big influences and they are never more so then on these four tracks. "Night Boat" is a foreboding track and the album's final number, the instrumental "Tel Aviv" is quite haunting.
