    Today Duran Duran dropped the physical release of "All You Need Is Now". I had to ask myself what freaking year this was again! WOW! It sounds like their earlier stuff.

    Probably a smart move staying out of the video and not showing how old they are, but I liked both. I saw them play at the Houston rodeo several years ago and at Verizon Theater. Both times they were very good.

    Not a huge fan of Duran Duran during the 80's...but have grown to really like them over time. And I really like those two songs you posted. Sounds a ton like their old stuff. I like it alot!

    Liked it a lot more than their last album. A lot of classic Duran Duran sound on this album.

    They are streaming a live concert on Youtube tomorrow, part of the Unstaged series. It'll be directed by David Lynch.

    He produced the last one, which was their worst or 2nd worst album.

    He was involved, but I'm not sure to what degree (too lazy to look it up).

    It was produced by Mark Ronson, I didn't see Timberlake in any of the liner notes.

    You are correct. I found it. In an interview with LeBon in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (required bathroom reading) it says Timberlake sings and produces on 2007's Red Carpet Massacre. I had glossed over the article and didn't realize they were talking about the LAST cd.

    THAT sound is making a comeback right now so why not let the kings get a little piece of the pie?

    Totally disappointing. Sounds exactly like they are rehashing their old songs/beats but worst. But what's good is that they seem to still have their voice. Their The Wedding Album was great. They should have went with that same approach with a slower songs.

    Wow that sounded terrible. Sound like a totally water down mixture of Rio, Save A Prayer and New Moon on Monday.

    Hands down the best song off the album. This one is canonical Duran Duran.
