Yeah it's an up and down review, that's for sure. But Paper Gods is an up and down album, so that sort of makes sense, lol. It's like if they make a positive comment, they then have to quickly follow it up with a slightly more derogatory one to fix the ledger. But still - it's pretty good for Q that they allow a number of positive points at all. Normally they only give front-handed slaps, not back-handed compliments

As I suspected, Q generally gave Duran albums three stars:
Pop Trash - 3 stars Astronaut - 2 stars Red Carpet Massacre - 3 stars All You Need Is Now - 3 stars Paper Gods - 3 stars

I mean, there are more insightful, intelligent and respectful ways of saying those things. They chose to be petty and Richard-ish. (Not allowed to say what rhymes with "Rick")

As I suspected, Q generally gave Duran albums three stars: Pop Trash - 3 stars Astronaut - 2 stars Red Carpet Massacre - 3 stars All You Need Is Now - 3 stars Paper Gods - 3 stars Funny they put PT and RCM on the same level as AYNIN and PG, while the far superior Astronaut gets the lowest score. I'd say Pop Trash - 1 stars Astronaut - 5 stars Red Carpet Massacre - 2 stars All You Need Is Now - 4 stars Paper Gods - 3 stars

My ratings would be:
Pop Trash - 4 stars Astronaut - 3 stars Red Carpet Massacre - 3 stars All You Need Is Now - 5 stars Paper Gods - 4 stars
I think the reunion era was initially disappointing against expectations and neither Astronaut nor RCM were as good as Pop Trash, but they upped the game with AYNIN.

Mine:
Pop Trash - 4 Astronaut - 3 RCM - 1 AYNIN - 4 PG - 2
I note that Q gave Poptrash 3 points. They must have found some cotton buds.
Mind you, they seem to be using an average of three for every album - which means they’re playing it safe and don’t want to look like Richards if the album was a success.
