DURAN DURAN - 1988 BIG THING ALBUM REACTION/BREAKDOWN

Welcome back to my channel guys, it’s so great to be back! We’ve finally reached the end of a decade with Duran Duran’s 1988 album ‘Big Thing’. In this video, we dive into the captivating world of this iconic band as they seamlessly shift between two different sounds.

The album starts with the energetic track 'Big Thing,' setting the tone with its guitar and rock-driven elements. Followed by songs like 'I Don't Want Your Love' and 'All She Wants Is' that infuse a dance-club energy into the album, catering to their intended audience at this stage of their career.

The second half of the album surprises listeners as we hear a transition to a more atmospheric and ballad-like sound with ‘Palomino’ ‘Land’ and 'The Edge of America,’. Duran Duran's ability to blend these contrasting sounds demonstrates their musical versatility, resulting in an album that is both unique and captivating.

I must apologise again for the audio levels still being out of whack. I need a good half a day to fix them up and make some improvements but they should be in check by the next deep dive video. 🤟🏻
