Disco de Duran Duran: “Mini Box Set [Box]”

these three are classic cd's put into a boxset. BUT you get not a extra track. This set should be avoided and the three discs bought seperately in the remaster versions. Buy duran duran, the music is five star, this boxset is lame though as the one star reviewer stated.

Who is this goof rohitrao who only wants to commandeer this space to praise druggie droning music and diss this band in a totally different genre? Not cool or fair, sir. And recognize that Gilmore played with these lads (as Arcadia) for an appreciative reason...

Duran Duran's first three albums cover more ground than Pink Floyd ever WILL! PinkF wrote a few Excellent #'s but will always stay stuck in their rut. DD have covered more ground in their careers, much less these 3 albums, than most bands EVER will.. try to deny that, goofus! These 3 DD albums tested the boundaries of sound, and where a band could go, while striking a chord with the world consciousness(Pink Floyd were never compared to the Beatles..).

The first CD shows a band jumping up to proclaim itself with exceptional zeal, the second was perhaps their masterpiece in bravado, excitement and breadth, and the 3rd perhaps suffers from overproduction and silly topics. Personally though, I enjoyed the ambiguous lyrics as I always appreciate mystery and impressionism. Stretch your audiences imagination, you'll both grow from the experience. And, to top things off, the last two songs on Seven and the Ragged Tiger (Tiger Tiger and Seventh Stranger) encompass as much atmosphere and intrigue as a whole Pink Floyd excursion, in 1/6 of the time; and THAT is much more palatable and effective than hours and hours in a PF daze.

5 stars easily, as a collection.

If you are a diehard DD fan, this is right up your alley! It was well worth the money to give my son a gift of the band he still thinks walks on water!
