Duran Duran- All You Need is Now


Directed by David Lynch.


Listening to All You Need Is Now was a chore. Duran Duran, it seems, has just given up on changing their sound. None of the best bands in the world stay the same and hope the world keeps liking them; they evolve. Honestly, I just don’t have a lot of positive things to say about All You Need Is Now. There are one or two catchy songs but even their hooks are boring and poorly done. I was reading through other reviews of this album and everyone is praising how great it is because all the albums that came before this were such rubbish. To me that is a cheap cop out. If an album is not good, it’s not good. You can’t say, "Well, this one isn’t nearly as horrible as their other stuff, so it’s gold." All You Need Is Now is a pass and a waste of time.  On a positive note Duran Duran somehow got David Lynch to direct their Unstaged live web cam performance promoting All You Need Is Now. I am sure that will be worth a watch with mute on.




Final Review- 45
