Title: What were they thinking of?
Review: I'm one of the biggest Duranies around, but I have to say that the only thing this album does for me is make me laugh. This album was meant to be a tribute album to bands who have influenced Duran Duran over the years. Now, I can't think of *anyone* who has influenced Duran Duran *less* than Public Enemy - except for possibly Grandmaster Flash. And David Bowie and Roxy Music influenced them much more than, say, Elvis Costello, and yet where do they appear? Add to this hilarity Warren Cucurrullo's excruciating guitar - I can't stand it on "White Lines" - and you have something I really don't want to listen to again. Oh - except for the song "Drive By", which is the only thing on the whole album Duran wrote themselves, has no awful guitar in it and is a wonderful song. Next time, lads, stick to your own music.
Is the review positive or negative?
