Review of Gold (The Best Of Spandau Ballet) - Spandau Ballet

The greatest of all the New Romantics

Advantages: The best of the New Romantics with some catchy 80's songs.
Disadvantages: Some of the later songs not quite as good as eariler stuff

...heady pop mix. Greatest contains their hit singles from their first album Duran Duran though to the wedding ablum. Hits include Girls on film, hungry like the wolf, Rio,wild boys and ordinary world to name a few.They hold up surprsingly well with their catchy lyrics and Duran always were a classy pop band. Some of the later songs meet el presidente and skin trade were a bit patchy but ordinary world and come undone were great returns to form. My ...

Review of Greatest - Duran Duran

Through the Barricades-Spandau Ballet

Advantages: Addictive, don't get bored of the songs.
Disadvantages: Why did they split up!!

I bought this album because I am a big fan of Spandau Ballet and especially because it contained the song 'Through the Barricades'. This album was very nice to listen to and has some of Spandau Ballet's later songs. It has nine tracks and most were very good in my opinion. The songs are very original, with a good variety, the most well known is the classic 'Through the Barricades'. You will never get bored of listening to this album and I was reaching ...

Review of Astronaut - Duran Duran

No-No...........No Good These Days

Advantages: Slick 80's pop
Disadvantages: Not their best

..."No-no-notorious notorious" later sampled by Notorious BIG and Puff Daddy in 1999. The songs then eases into a slinky, faux-funk groove and is really one of the best tracks they've recorded. Typical Duran lyrics are abound with nods to "flakey bandits" and "boys making noise" and a great female "gasp" sample to add a little bit of tension to the tack. God knows what they're on about, but hold on kids, because it's a downhill ride from hereon in. ...
...the rest of the album is the tempo. Apart from a couple of upbeat tracks and a really slow one, the rest seem to find a balance somewhere in between and occupy that mid-tempo kind of groove that Oasis seemed to have settled for on their last two albums. This track, while not particularly bad, just doesn't affect me in the way their earlier stuff did. Remember the macho excitement of Wild Boys or the exoticism of Rio? Well, there's little of that ...
