"Duran Duran at their darkest best The reason the teeny fans in the 80's did not get this masterpiece is that they wanted another "her name is Rio and she dances on the sand" however if the had listened to the rest of Rio, past the title track and "save a prayer" they would have found some pretty ..."

"Widely canned at the time for venturing boldly into Romanelli territory & not being Days of .. II, Medicine Show is actually a fascinating listen with totally sick guitar leads and a wide open & raucous sound that holds it own. I prefer Days of Wine & Roses, but damn isn't repeat listens to this ..." [+] Reply
"Very fun pop record and George has an amazing voice. Has a couple timeless classics (Wake Me Up, Careless Whisper) and some fun pop tracks (Heartbeat, Freedom.) I could listen to this for hours." Reply

"Red Alert and Always Be There had a lovely sound. Bingo Bango reminds me of Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag which is not an awful thing. Feels sweaty. Exciting to dance to. Keeps playing for a very long time. Good stuff indeed." Reply

"It's a second-rate "Quarry" sequel. I think disappointment as a career-rebound-followup is what sunk this into my memory recesses. But it's a fun, Morissey tongue-in-cheek album.

"Upbeat and poppy, though in a different direction than pre-Michael McDonald Doobies records. I like the older albums better, but there’s still great stuff here—mostly Here to Love You, What a Fool Believes and How Do the Fools Survive. Solid collection of songs." Reply
