I was just trying to have a little fun. Why does everyone always have to get so nasty around here? I thought we were all friends. Sigh.

sort of know that feeling - except with me I'm comparing against The Wedding Album
so looks more like
1- Yay they've come up with another album as good as TWA
2- That's much better than the last album
3- About 3 months later I play it and go- yeah it's ok and start skipping tracks
4- I enter the A-naut/ RCM zone- I pick off 3 or 4 tracks from either album for an i-tunes play list and I never play the rest of it again
;D

I'm the complete opposite personally, what I've heard of the new tracks (mainly snippets) have needed time to grow on me after a few listens. It was never "oh this is fantastic Duran Duran" on first listen. But they've grown on me for sure, and from what I've heard I reckon it's the best we've heard in a very long time.

Sigh. there was one nasty comment. actually two, and one is yours newbies making judgemental "jokes" and assuming we're all friends (with them) is kinda laughable. we're all DURANIES. tread carefully.

I think it's clever. I've felt several of these emotions.

Blank- Don't you dare call me a newbie. I have been reading this board religiously every single day (multiple times a day) for years. I was on the original DD message board for years as well. I stopped posting regularly a long time ago.
You do have a point though... only one person really flamed me (well two counting you).
OK. I get the message though. I'll go back to lurking.

Thanks for saying that DDD. I really am a die-hard fan and I'd like to contribute a little more to the conversation around here!

;D nigel, do keep posting for heaven's sake, the more the merrier - just don't get all flustered when someone calls your BS. is what I'm saying. argue, don't go all calimero "boohoo what an injustice it is". discussing an issue and participating with any kind of opinion, is a lot more welcome than coming out of lurk mode to make snark, smartass remarks disguised as "jokes". IMO.
and DDD I didn't diss you, you twit, I called you a damn disrespectful bore for posting 10 threads in a row all with one video each and thus pushing everyone else's posts out of the front page, instead of posting all the videos in one thread. and you know it. clean that poo.

I hope the guys will go on as long as the physically can. The album may or may not become a commercial hit and either is fine by me. I am and always will be a Duran Duran fan.
