Not sure if the ‘ fans substantially misunderstood’ RCM. Maybe Andy and creative differences. Would love to hear Reportage still. This is an eclecitic, upbeat, beautiful album. Certainly not ‘Liberty’. It is the direction /risk that Duran needed to go to keep the classic sound yet be modern and innovative.Impressive the band can keep up the funk yet deliver the sweet ballads like Box Full of Honey (and not too many ballads to be middle-of-the road).

As for critics and bad label marketing- that has always been Duran history! Never understood how ‘professionals’ couldn’t ‘get it’. Hopefully, it will be a lesson for the new release to not repeat history so it can get the proper attention (of course the loyals fans never needed acceptance and Duran could care less now wtth their playlist legacy anyway). So Bring on the new album – and throw in all the outtakes, demos, edits. The fans care about ALL the takes – the more the merrier.
