This must surely go down as a landmark in the duran boys career, after the success of the eponymous first album it was assumed that the boys would disappear into oblivion, instead they started to take the world by storm with singles like hungry like the wolf, rio and the excellent save a prayer which shot the boys to worldwide fame, and should have made number one, the production is excellent and if you skip my own way, you have a flawless album that for 1982 stood alone in its field.
