Reviews Customer Reviews for Red Carpet Massacre      hurried up with rap and dance      Rating:      This album really missed the boat. Its like listening to Justin Timberlake's album with vocals provided by Simon. I mean except for Simon and Nick, JT and Roger just took the ride with them and sat in the corner while Timberlake/Timbaland took Simon to the office and ask him to now sing on these beats. The worst thing is that JT is promoting this album like he produced it. The only thing you hear is drum machines and keyboard noises and then rapper comes in. Man I cannot believe that Sony really pushed DD to do hip/hop dance stuff and in the process could not provide a producer or visa for Andy T for the reportage album. Which makes up for Red Carpet Massacre, a disaster.     Customer Reviews for Red Carpet Massacre Cd      Enduring Talent!!!      Rating:      Perhaps I am a little late with this review, yet I just dicovered this little gem last summer and it has finally revealed its worth! It is priceless. I have been buying Duran albumns since 1982. They just keep getting better. The problem with music reviews is time. Most of the bad reviews were posted within a month of the records release. It is obviously,something that should be savored. These people who post negative reviews should delete them or revise them. This disc is dark even for the "Durans". Most of their work has various criticism of the world we live on. This one sums up the very culture that has swallowed itself. Sort of like "Saturn eating his children". Why does Justin Timberlake have to be on every one's record? I feel the track he wrote is the weakest! He is just a footnote for the theme of the record! Commercialism, hype, tabloids, and paparazzi. Need I say more? Enter a band that has been around within those flashbulbs for years. At least they look great in it! I am one of those rare male Duran fans who like the music, no matter who is in the band. There are a few tracks that could be skipped. Yet the good ones, may be some of the best the band has ever offered! Basically the second half of the recording is flawless from "Tempted" on! Frightning, electronic dance tracks infest this classic "Duran" fare. I particularly love "She's Too Much". It is the brightest moment on the disc. Indeed, as the music industry grinds to a halt, Duran Duan may be the "Last Man Standing"!
