Rio - 1001 Album Club podcast
Episode Description
In the year of our lord, 1982, Duran Duran released their sophomore studio outing.
The album was not received well at all by critics of the day with NME saying it was " a sweet, lumpy pudding of a noise" and Record Mirror chiming in with, "thoroughly competent and yet bereft of the soul, passion and wit that makes a great record".
The passage of time has proven the teenbopper right on this one, this album slaps.
Let's talk Duran Duran, Rio!
Released Jan 05 - 34 mins

Not sure if this has been posted ? I can’t remember it (sorry if it has) imo it was a good read so thought I’d post it here dcsaudio.com/edit/revisiting-duran-duran-riolove this “The British pop scene had given rise to some very swish productions, from Roxy Music’s Avalon to ABC’s Lexicon of Love via Simple Minds’ New Gold Dream, but Rio’s production was classier still” & this “At the time of Rio’s release, much of the music press dismissed the album as escapist nonsense.... Yet looked at now, it's pop/rock tour de force”
