Album Review:Duran Duran-All You Need is Now

I appreciate that Nick Rhodes was brought in by The Dandy Warhols to help them broaden their sound one decade ago, but Duran Duran should seriously consider opening a chain of all-you-can-eat Tapas restaurants called, of course, Hungry Like the Wolf if their latest record is a suggestion of their current songwriting ability.    If someone in the group had truly considered their production choices seriously, then Goldfrapp, Ladytron or even Shawn Lee would have been much better options in helping breathe life into the stagnant DD franchise.    Mark Ronson is an excellent producer, but too inexperienced to bring anything fresh to the double D.    Do yourself a favour and dig out your old vinyl of Rio and reminisce.
