No!
Maybe the album cover is a let down.. But the music, not at all.

When someone asks: "how many albums have YOU created that went top 10?" - that is designed to be a GOTCHYA question designed by a sophist (someone who just needs to be right). One doesn't need to be a musician in order to comment or have an opinion on music. It would mean to comment on the taste of a meal, you must be a chef yourself. How about instead of trying to use GOTCHYA questions - you actually say something of intelligence? Says the person who would have liked PG to fail.. what a stupid reply. doesn't even answer to what i said.

oh god!!! 3 maybe 5 people that hate the album gave 45 pages to this tread. Get over it. Move forward. If you don't enjoy the Paper gods era There are other Duran eras to enjoy!!!

Actually the thread has nothing to do with necessarily hating the album. An album can be a "letdown" to someone without being hated...and there are actually five people on the first page alone that consider it a letdown, and almost forty in the entire thread. I'd say that's a significant amount that justifies the sentiment (and the thread). Now, maybe you were literally only referring to the most certainly smaller group that seem to truly hate the album...I'm guestimating it was about ten to fifteen (guessing since I wasn't looking for that specifically when I just read through to get the total "disappointed" count - what can I say, some days things are slow at my work ). A smaller number, yes, but still bigger than your "3 maybe 5", and definitely more than just an isolated case of a few "trolls" causing trouble just to cause trouble. Either way, though, since you clearly disagree and have already stated so, it might ease your mood to just ignore this thread, unless you actually want to have a healthy debate about the album's merits. It's probably going to keep going with or without you, because it's, well, an ongoing discussion. Actually, a few people who were initially let down have changed their minds a bit after repeated listenings, and posted about that change in their opinion. No matter what the next post may be, this thread has just as much right to exist and propogate as any other on this forum.

For the record, I would definitely say PG is NOT a letdown for me. I will say the cover is, and I don't like "Danceaphobia" or especially "Sunset Garage." But all the other tracks - including the bonuses, I like to some degree or another.
I would love to know if it's a letdown based on your expectations (because at first it did confound my expectations) or because of other things - like the fact that it's so much more a collaborative EDM album instead of guitars/live drums...which may have also been expectations I now feel like they said to themselves, "If Duran Duran turned out a Mark Ronson/Mr. Hudson style collaborative album, what would it sound like?"
I guess my question is: what were your expectations and what did you feel you got?
Answers like: "I expected more guitars and drums and I got synths and programming." "I expected Simon to be the only singer, and I got a lot of collaborations." "I expected AYNIN II and I got PG."
Just curious. I had expectations myself, but I know that Duran Duran has ALWAYS confounded those. Based on that, I have grown to LOVE "PG," "YKMWS," "PO," "FFT," "CTS," (yeah, I do!), "BG," "OID," and "TUA."
