Thanks so much! I really love it. I was skeptical about this release because I loved Red Carpet Massacre and I'm not too big on the whole 80's nostalgia thing. But Mark Ronson did a great job. He didn't go overboard with the 80's thing and make it sound dated. It sounds like the DD people love but with a modern twist. It has a rock feel which I love. | |

It reminds me of the "Medazzaland" album. | |

its the heaviest sound that they have had probably since Warren leaving, which was a major shot to them, despite getting Andy from that, i always felt Warren was better than Andy in this band, and that Andy was really never used well (thats why Power Station formed). But now with Andy gone its interesting to have the "heavier" sound, its a good track, im always going to give the 80's bands more of a listen than anyone new, because thats just how it should be, it will be interesting to hear this full record, because thats been the weakness with DD i feel, full albums.

and THIS is the single?? the chorus is ok, but the rest of the song is pretty average, and it's clear the album will be basically synths, drums & bass, with almost no guitar
Suddenly I'm worried... | |

Yes, but that's DD at least to me. When I think of DD, I think of synths and bass. They're not a traditional guitar rock band centered around guitar solos. | |

Yeah, they never were really about the guitar till Warren came along. Facebook, I haz it - https://www.facebook.com/Nikster1969
