Overall, this is a classy, hook-laden album that delivers a respectful nod to their hey-day past, with more than enough quality & craft that points to a relevant and abiding future for Duran Duran

If it doesn’t go down as a Duran Duran classic, the album will at least be remembered as a solid entry in the equally solid streak that gave us All You Need Is Now and Paper Gods
