 Complete and unheralded
Duran Duran didn't miss a beat on this one. Pure energy and the boys sound as good as ever. Makes you wonder where the rest of the world was when this music was realeased. Wonderful!

 This Album Kicks My Arse
This album, like all Double D's albums, wails and is, like clock work, overlooked again. But who needs the masses to determine something is good? A lot of people like Michael Jackson and Culture Club, so what does that say? Gees. Warren was allowed to unleash his ripping guitar on this album. Wild times. Sterling fired up a bowl of drums, and the three foundation members produced the hooks. This album is well-in.

 pedstrian, but nice attempt
Grasping at straws in some of their most trying times the boys attempt to toughen up their sound with skectchy results , fist two tracks are nice and hothead sparkles for a bit with the guitar overall though the shimmery neo-funk Duran was known for absolutly vanih some nice attempts at evelution, overall for completists only

 They haven't been this good since.
Short of Rio, Liberty is Duran Duran's best album, especially considering it followed Big Thing, which is perhaps their worst. The official addition of Warren Cuccurullo on guitar and Sterling Campbell on drums brought an energy to the band that had been lacking since the early 80s. Liberty is their hardest rocking album, quelling the belief they're a synth-pop band, but their catchy melodies and memorable hooks remain. True, there were no hits off this album, but it was released at a time when grunge and hip-hop were starting their strangle hold on popular music. Four years earlier or four years later, this album could have been huge. Every song stands well on its own (with the notable exception of the horrible Can You Deal With It), yet complement eatch other very well. Here's hoping the newly reunited Duran Duran will produce an album this tight and this fun.
