Review - :
{$Duran Duran}'s eponymous debut artfully coalesced the sonic and stylistic elements of the burgeoning {\new romantic} movement they were soon to spearhead: pumping synths, glossy production, and seemingly impossible haircuts. Ultra-smart singles like {&"Girls on Film"} and {&"Planet Earth"} became instant smash hits both in the U.K. and America, and other fine {\pop} gems such as {&"Anyone Out There"} and {&"Careless Memories"} rounded out the album's stellar first side. Side two was a far more experimental and revealing affair, with primary songwriter {$Nick Rhodes} leading the band through atmospheric mood-pieces like {&"Night Boat,"} {&"Sound of Thunder,"} and the instrumental {&"Tel Aviv,"} all of which are particularly reminiscent of mid-era {$Roxy Music} (clearly one of {$Duran}'s biggest influences). The band's groundbreaking music videos would do the rest, securing them a unique standing as forerunners of the first {@MTV} generation and cementing their status as one of the decade's most successful {\pop} music icons. [{@Toshiba EMI} reissed the album in Japan in 2003.] ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
