Pop Trash - Duran Duran

...they are not at fault. Pop trash is all the essential elements of classic duran, given a new millenium feel, far from being an eighties revival band, duran show they have more to offer here than just reminiscing. From the ordinary world type ballad, someone else not me, the heady seventies inspired lava lamp to the damnright audacious hallucinating elvis, Le bon and the boys do what they do best, and that is make damn fine singalong pop tunes.

Review of Pop Trash - Duran Duran

...modern album full of stomping pop songs "Hallucinating Elvis" & "Playing with Uranium" and some great ballard, including my favourite "Pop Trah Movie", over the top but sensational.

Review of Pop Trash - Duran Duran

No way hose! this album shows duran at there best since the wedding album Le bons vocals are unique and despite the loss of John Taylor two albums back, duran show they can still cut the mustard. Skip Lava lamp cos ...
...three duran boys on top form, someone else not me deserved to be a hit, and Hallucinating elvis should have been released as a single, instead the album seems to have dissappeared from shelves and died an untimely death, dont give up duran, you are still capable of wonderful things. ...
