i’m not a fan of 1997-2000 era duran duran

like i love the medazzaland album but besides that…just…as a band i can’t get into them

part of it is knowing that simon was quite unhappy with the direction the band was heading and i’m not happy if he’s not happy so…yeah heh

but…yeah…to me it just seems like they were going through the motions, especially live - like i downloaded a concert from…1998 i think…and it was just really awkward. they didn’t seem to be enjoying themselves at all, and they didn’t have all of the jokes and silliness they have nowadays.

this is also why i can’t get into pop trash at all. it just feels so sad. i love “someone else not me” but it’s such a fucking downer. idk. i know a lot of people like the album because it’s such a dramatic change from their other work, but it’s not the band that i know and love.

i’ve said this before…i am so, so glad that they all got back together and made things work again. i don’t think there was any possible way the band would have continued on if they hadn’t.
