Duran Duran's Change Of A Comback
, April 12, 2006Reviewer:
Andre - See all Andre's reviews Pros: Tightly Constructed,Funky And Melodic
Cons: Different then Duran Duran's early music
When 'Notorious' came out I thought Duran Duran was comepletely washed up from it's glory days.Then I heard the title track and was amazed how musically mature and funky they now sound-with heavy rhythm guitars and abig horn section.Well it's 20 years later and I just heard the whole album for the first time.And yes they DEFINATELY had matured.Some songs on this album are definately a little weak but the funkiest ones leap right out at you-
"Propositions"; and especially the excellent "Meet El Presidente" leap right out at me in particular sharing the sharp funky groove of the hit."American Science","Ski n Trade" and "So Misled" put a little keyboard into the mix and "Hold Me" is pure vintage Duran Duran and a good follow up hit.Nile Rodgers-T-H-E ...
hot pop producer of the day (Madonna and everyone) can add this to his many classic 80's production credits.But he never turned this into a dance album per se.He let Duran Duran be themselves.One thing is about 'Notorious' is that it almost totally adandones their classic sound in favor of heavier polish and a lot of slick 80's R&B/funk flavors.But they are more then up to the task on these songs and it turned out to be a great comeback for them.

Pro Reviews: Notorious
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews 1986's Notorious has Andy Taylor contributing on only four songs before leaving to start his solo career, but on the strength of the title track's number two placing and "Skin Trade's number 39 mark, the album itself peaked at number 12 in the U.S. and number 16 in the U.K. On the whole, only "Notorious" showed any real livelihood, thanks to its modern gleam and the catchy stutter of its chorus. "Skin Trade" is almost as worthy, thanks to its sultry, seductive air and enchanting but complex rhythmic allure. While the writing is somewhat stable on Notorious, Duran Duran's efforts at sounding enigmatic and covert end up being hot and cold. Tracks like "American Science" and "Vertigo" try too hard, while only "Meet el Presidente," a number 24 hit in Britain, sports a rather appealing flow. Beneath Duran Duran's attempts at trying to sound musically devious, mysterious, and slightly seductive, the tracks fail to bear enough weight in order to be effective all the way through. It's easy to see why the band would choose such a route at this point in their career, but moderate doses of pop enthusiasm would have made Notorious a fuller and more enjoyable package. The provocative, nightclub brand of martini-sipping pop that does surface is meritorious to a certain extent, felt mostly in the album's two biggest tracks. - Mike DeGagne, All Music Guide |

Pros: Everything.
Cons: None .
Even with the departure of Roger Taylor and only minor contributions from Andy Taylor , this is still My all time favourite Duran Duran album . It is packed with Gems and is Haunting just like the previous reviewer stated . Hold me ,matter of feeling and skin trade are worth the price of the Disc alone .All in all this is a Classic Album that deserves to treasured .
