After what seems like years of waiting
Duran Duran's Red Carpet Massacre is finally out and it is better than I ever thought it was going to be.
Duran Duran is a band that has always been ahead of the time musically and with music videos and Red Carpet Massacre is no different than their other albums in that front. While there sound is still Duran Duran, it has modernized to keep up with the times, in fact I think in ways it is way ahead of their time. I will be honest when I heard they were working with the Timbers (Justin Timberlake and Timbaland) I was not looking forward to the album. But I am here to tell you I was wrong because the tracks that they worked on are just as good as the others and helped to shape the sound of the album. The thing that brings this whole album together is Simon Le Bon's distinctive voice that just calls you in! Now when I listen to a CD, I listen to see if there is a hit on it and here is a list of all the songs I think are potential hits:
1. The Valley
2. Red Carpet Massacre
3. Nite-Runner
4. Falling Down
5. Box full o' Honey
6. Skin Divers
7. Tempted
8. Tricked Out
9. Zoom In
10. She's Too Much
11. Dirty Great Monster
12. Last Man Standing
Yes that is the whole track listing! Everyone of those songs could easily be a hit!
So whether you have been a Duranie since the '80s or are looking for a really good album to listen to then Red Carpet Massacre is the one for you!
Thank G-d Duran Duran stood the test of time is all this die hard Duranie can say!!!
