Customer Reviews

great!
This is a great album. If you disagree, then you don't really like DD.
Skin Trade, American Science, Winter Marches On. Some of their best.

Masterpiece
Notorious is a phenomenal work of art. I bought and heard their first record, I had heard Rio before that and I thought it was amazing. I decided to buy their 1986 Notorious not knowing what to expect. Duran Duran's Notorious surpassed all my expectation; of the three records I've heard from this group, this album is easily the strongest. It is mature and refined yet still fresh and edgy. It is a great record throughout; here they have created realms in music previously unknown. I'm blown away - five stars.

Matches Rio in it's brilliance
The song Notorious I think has earned a place in the dictionary of funk, it still sounds classic 20 years later, and ofcourse it's been used by P Diddy and sung on B.I.G.'s Nasty girl giving it some real credibility. Skin Trade, Vertigo, American Science and So Misled are other awesome funk odyssey's that make you wonder what critics were on about labelling them 80's pop icons and pin up idols. After all this is a point where they lost many of their screaming girl fans, but gained new listeners who discovered that they had wronged a great band. Half of the album is more melodic with tracks like Hold Me (I don't know why but I hear Pearl Jam in this) and A matter of feeling, two stand outs which are among their best songs ever. Then there's the dark and wintery, Winter Marches on, my favourite on the album. Just love those cold atmospheric synths and Simon's voice on it. The album flat out rules, every minute of it, so get this one immediately.
