Duran Duran - Liberty
To me, this album is all about a band in transition. It is seriously underrated, but contains as many excellent moments as it does dreadful ones. For example, 'Violence of Summer' would have been an awesome song if Simon Lebon didn't shout absurdly (and embarrassingly) at the beginning of the song. Likewise, 'First Impression', 'Venice Drowning' and 'Downtown' don't really seem to know what they want to be - not necessarily bad songs, just not one thing or the other.
On the other hand, there are some absolute classics on this album, such as 'Liberty', 'Serious' and the totally wonderful 'My Antarctica', which demonstrate the band's creative abilities to the full.
In short, don't be put off by the 3/5 rating, I do love the album - it's just too much of a mixed bag to have ever been commercially successful or even to have received a succinct classification. If you like Duran Duran and haven't heard this yet, try it, you might like it.

I love this album, it is probably the most under-rated Duran Duran album ever!
Originally released in 1990 at a time when I was young and having a great time with my friends, we all lived and worked in a pub together...enough said
Here's my favourites;
The best track for me is First Impression, never released as a single but I was convinced it should have been, it's one of those rock songs that keeps you moving and smacks you right in the face from the start.
Serious is a great ballad, not a mushy, sickly ballad but a ballad all the same, great sound and great Le Bon lyrics, this song was recently sampled by Ferry Corsten on his single release "Fire", this track includes Simon Le Bon on vocals.
Violence Of Summer is a great pop song and would have charted better in another time, Warren C's guitar solos are as good as anything on the acclaimed 1993 Wedding album here.
My Antarctica is a great flowing ballad, one of those tunes thats good to lay back to, eyes closed with foot gently tapping to the steady rhythm.
All in all, Liberty is a must for anyone exploring DDs back catalogue, it will pleasantly surprise you and possibly irritate you in places but thats the beauty of it.
