Description

I wrote a review of this album a while ago - just thought I would add another one to say that this album has grown on me even more, to the point where it is the only one in the cd changer that has not been removed! I have also created a couple of 'converts' (as they have to listen to it when I drive) ;-) I felt bad that in my original review I did not mention the wonderful 'One Of These Days' which is now my favourite track alongside 'Astronaut'. Why 'Astronaut' wasn't a single I have no idea. I think it is an incredible song and screams to havemore… a great video made for it. What the hell happened?! 'Point Of No Return', 'Still Breathing', 'Nice' and 'Want You More' could all have been singles and even the cooky 'Bedroom Toys' has grown on me (I think I now get the 'tongue-in-cheekness' of it and there are some great lyrics in there!). Probably the only tracks I'd be likely to skip over now are 'Chains', 'What's Going To Happen Tomorrow' and occasionally 'Taste The Summer' which although catchy still makes me cringe a bit when Simon sings 'cool haze is reflected off your thighs' (I may think he is a sex god - but come on the guy is nearly 50, it's just not right!). I am very surprised I did not see at least one of their tracks hitting the dance floors this summer, maybe they will sometime? Something like 'Nice' could be very easily sampled. I think the only reason this album hasn't done better is the ongoing elitist snobbery of the music press who have always had it in for Duran (they were probably too good-looking and too successful). Shame that people miss out on what is really good pop music because of such prejudice.
