Subject: Pop Trash
Anyone had to the chance to listen to this great album? Apparently, it seems to have been ignored by the public. No radio station will play songs from this album - I certainly hope Depeche Mode does not get this type of awful reception when their new album Exciter comes out...sigh.

Hello! I am part of the public, but, of course, one of the Duran-loving masses. I am, however, only 16 so I probably count.
I think Pop Trash is good, certainly has the edge over Liberty and Thank You - and probably The Wedding Album, too - but there are too many slow songs and, despite the success of Ordinary World, slow songs are not what Duran are best at. I think they're really feeling the loss of John and his bass on Pop Trash...went to see them on recent tour though and Wes is doing a sterling (no pun intended) job.
Since you asked.
Love,
Khel.

I don't know, I thought the opposite - the slow songs is what made Duran Duran stand out a bit from the fast-paced synthy sounds of their day - and of today. I'm kind of growing tired of the screaming and fast-talking musicians of today, so it is a complete turn-around when I hear a rare gem like "Pop Trash" and "Someone else not me" - brings back the sounds of the early 90's "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone," as well as the early 80s sounds of "Save A Prayer." I don't know; I thought this was an excellent album, but the rest of the world just blew it off like it was radioactive waste...
