An Adventurous Mistake
I agree with earlier reviewers who point out that this album pretty much ended the comeback story that was Duran Duran. It's worth getting just for the history lesson.There are a few gems here. Unlike many, I love "White Lines" and notice that every time they perform it live, it brings down the house. Simon le Bon gives "Watching the Detectives" a far more sinister and sexual feel than Elvis Costello ever did. And "Success" is a fun romp.But the rest is crap -- songs that either shouldn't be covered because the originals cannot be improved upon, or songs that *can* be covered, but *not* this way.
