this'll get you out of your head, shouted le bon at the start of violence of summer, I wouldnt go that far, but this was certainly a step in the right direction. A lot of people i know have never heard serious, which is a sad loss cos its one of durans best, and matches come undone, and there are some great tracks here Yasmins fave My antarctica is here and haunting, the title track is pretty good and hothead even featutes Le bons first attempt at rapping, it shoulda sold more, but the public were anti duran at the time for some reason,it deserves a re-release possibly as part of a box set then emi can make even more money from durans back catalogue, if you dont own it, buy it.
Advantages: Live tracks; Duran in their prime; "Wild Boys" Disadvantages: None

---------------
Children of the '80s will already own it or would once have owned it and lost it in a house move. Everyone else should investigate this fine album, but I fear they won't. Almost flawless!
Thanks for reading. ...
Duran Duran: Simon LeBon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Warren Cuccurullo, Sterling Campbell. Additional personnel: John Jones (keyboards, programming); Spike Edney, Stan Harrison, Luis Jardin, Paddy Lorimar, Bernard Fowler, Carol Kenyon, Tessa Niles, Silvia, Claudia.1990's LIBERTY introduced Duran Duran's second full-fledged lineup, with guitarist Warren Cuccurullo (ex-Zappa, ex-Missing Persons) and drummer Sterling Campbell (later in Soul Asylum) replacing Andy and Roger Taylor. The band's creative core of singer Simon LeBon, bassist John Taylor and Nick Rhodes on keyboards remained unchanged, however, and the album really doesn't sound that different from 1986's NOTORIOUS or 1988's BIG THING, except that Cuccurullo and Campbell are much better musicians than the folks they replaced. Cuccurullo reels off some surprisingly satisfying solos, as on the funk-pop opener "Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)." Though the band's commercial fortunes were on a downturn at the time of this album's release, LIBERTY is a more-than-respectable addition to its slick dance-pop canon.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (10/18/90) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the libertines are aging beautifully--the best songs [are] unabashed paens to sensualism, conveyed with swanky musical style and uncharacteristically disconnected lyric images....proves that sensual excess is still a thriving concern..." Spin (11/90) - "...shows the band in its most appealing form in years....Duran Duran once again successfully straddle the line between dance and rock..."
