\"Duran<\/p>\n

Duran Duran quietly made it to the new Millennium. They could not have been bigger during their heyday, and many of us remember with a sort of zealous fervor the era to which Duran Duran belonged and the appropriate soundtrack they provided. They faded in the Nineties, though I never really noticed. I gobbled up Big Thing<\/a> (their last album of the Eighties with its Big Generator<\/a> inspired cover) Liberty<\/a><\/em> (which was generally reviled, but which I found engaging in a few different places) and then their “comeback” album, the self-titled “Wedding Album<\/em>,” which was a comeback only in the sense that they re-entered the public eye with the tune “Ordinary World,” though as I said, for me they never really left.<\/p>\n

They faded a bit again as the Nineties wore on. Did anyone notice? Medazzaland<\/em>, Pop Trash<\/em> and Astronaut <\/em>failed to light up anyone’s stereos, at least in the numbers they had enjoyed again in the early Nineties. Now today we get Red Carpet Massacre<\/a><\/em>, and while it’s a little early for predictions, there’s stuff going on here that we haven’t seen in a while. I think it could take off. The whole crew is here minus Andy Taylor (who didn’t record any of this album for whatever reason) and they’ve enlisted the help of a few current dance\/club producers, Timbaland among them, to help drag their sound into the present day.<\/p>\n

Check out this tune. It’s ballad-y and melodic and, guess what? Co-written by Justin Timberlake. That guy is everywhere.<\/p>\n
