Duran Duran Album: “Reach Up for the Sunrise/Know It All”

This is an absolutely fantastic beginning to the new "old" Duran Duran! The song is wonderfully infectious, and takes me back to the old days when I listened to Rio over and over again. None of the Fab 5 has lost his energy or his sense of what Duran Duran is all about. A terrific, refreshing new beginning for one of the world's greatest bands! And Roger's cymbals sound sooooo much better - bravo on switching to Zildjian!

No doubt that this single marked the Big Five come back. Yes, their back together again!! And its really really a great single ever!! It's like the old days coming back again.... back to the glorious era of Duran Duran. Its a must have single to all duranies all around the world!! Its a very Duran Duran's style which combined Nick's touch with all the Taylors' style along with the sexy voice of Simon!!

This one is worth pulling down off the shelves. The waiting is over, "Sunrise" is here. Bright, optimistic, upbeat electro-pop from the guys who invented the genre'. Just stick it in your CD Player and let it flow out of your stereo speakers. Go with the groove and turn on the lights. Your favorite band is back and they're as good, or better, than they've ever been. It's okay to come out of the closet and admit you've always been a Duranie. The Sunrise is here, it's a brand new day. Celebrate.

This is such an amazing song!! All five members have reunited and it is like they never truly went away. There aren't enough adjectives to describe how strong this song is. It sounds better than anything I have heard on the radio in a looonnnnggg time.

They are outstanding and supremely innovative musicians. Simon and Nick kept it going through the years and I remained a faithful fan, but having the "original Fab Five" together simply creates moments of musical genius. Incredible stuff.

John, Andy and Roger -- welcome back! I missed you...

Where do I start?

"Sunrise" is one of the BEST songs from them in recent years. A fresh new start for the re-united band. Upbeat, positive, brings all the boys together to play in perfect harmony. It's what Duran Duran is: the sound, the style, all them with a touch of today. Definately hits the right note with its dancy-rocker feel and pounding percussion. Simon's voice never sounded so flawless, and the energy just jumps right off the CD and into your system!

"Know it all" is a short piece taken from "Astronaut." It's pretty cool, the phrase "know it all" is chanted throughout the song. There's a lot more electronic going on here for this track. Playing around with sounds never sounded so cool. Yes, there's live playing on here, too.

If you're looking for "Sunrise" and a true B-side, then get this! This song is one of their finest! Don't pass it up! Also, buy "What Happens Tomorrow Pt.2" single for the B-side "Silent Icy River," you'll fall in love with it and wished it could've been a song all on its own!
