5.0 out of 5 stars UK release
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023

The only difference between the UK and US versions is that the US version has 'Is there something I should know?' and the UK has a different track called 'To the shore". I can see why they replaced the song when they released in the US. I definitely wasn't impressed with the song, but it was new to me so that was something.

5.0 out of 5 stars My bangs are going blonde again
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2008
Verified Purchase
When I heard this album in 1982 it changed my life. Seriously. Here were a bunch of kids who decided they were going to be rich and famous. And with this batch of tunes they succeeded fabulously. That was a revelation to me as I started my teen years. I immediately bleached my hair and put up w/a ton of "pansy" comments.
With the benefit of 20 yrs hindsight, the debut is fairly keyboard heavy, but they sound very warm and tasteful and the basslines are still fantastic. The band sounds like a complete unit start to finish on this one. The textures and arrangements are great. The version I cut my teeth on had the long version of Planet Earth to start side one and no "To the shore". That track, while definitely not essential, is a good indication of what they were trying to accomplish as a band. "Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver seas" might well be Duran Duran's enduring mission statement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reissue of 1981 release, not the 1983 version we primarily got in the States
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016
Verified Purchase
I am slowly replacing my vinyl and cassette versions. This CD is a re-issue of the original 1981 album, not the 1983 re-issue that came out in the States when Rio hit it big. The re-release had Is There Something I Should Know instead of On the Shore. (The 1983 re-release has a different photo of the band as well.) If you want ITSISK, it's on their compilation The Singles 81-85.

Oddly, a few songs were misidentified in the track listings coded into the CD. On the Shore was labeled as Careless Memories, and Careless Memories was labeled as Is There Something I Should Know. Not that this is really a problem, but it was a surprise when the wrong song was identified when it came up on my iPod.

New DD fan here in the process of learning & listening to all of their music. This is my favorite. Good music is timeless & that’s what this cd is. It’s creative, innovative, experimental, mystical, & DIFFERENT. Love it! After hearing it, I was left with thinking what could have been for DD had they stayed on this creative path. I feel they chased stardom, fame, chart hits, a flashy image & models among other things. They achieved that & more. What if the focus would have been more on their musical creativity? Anyway, a good debut regardless.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Magic Elixir
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015
Verified Purchase
While specific details of long-ago memories can fade over time, I will start out by saying that despite this group's enormous successes of the 1980's, it did have its fair share of critics. The critics who loathed pop music in particular had a very clear prediction about Duran Duran with words along these lines: 'Nothing more than a bunch of pretty boys, all show and no substance... only teenage girls are paying any attention, in ten years' time no one will be listening anymore'.
Well, sometimes the critics are wrong - and sometimes that's a good thing. Because now, some 35 years after this LP was first released, it still sounds as good as it did when I first gave it a listen back in 1983. And if that isn't staying power, then what is?
I remember that 'tidal wave' of success this band rode in the 1980's; I remember because I was there, I witnessed it and experienced it along with them. I was one of those 'Durannies' - those (supposedly) silly-minded, empty-headed adolescent girls coming of age in a world dominated by three letters: MTV. I remember the videos, the interviews, the glossy magazine articles; I remember the concert footage, the staying up 'late' (10pm!) for the world premier videos, the sneaking out of the house so I could join my girlfriends for a smoke while we talked about them. I remember bits and pieces of all this, but truthfully I can't remember the specifics; I just remember it all in a general way. But I do remember the music, and how it made me feel as I was going through 'silliness' (aka puberty). Some of the magic, the excitement of this album in particular (along with their 2nd album, Rio) may have been induced by the age we were at the time - but it's more like the music blended into the fabric of who we were and who we were becoming. I will never forget those times, and what music like this meant to me; in many ways adolescence was an awkward, difficult time, but we had records like this to help us get through those difficulties. And no matter how much time goes by, you can never put a price on that.
As time continues moving forward, bringing rapid changes to our world, sometimes now I look back wistfully and the past seems almost dreamlike. The 1980's - everything was so different back then, almost like it never happened at all. Some days are easier than others, but some days now I can almost feel Father Time pulling at me, one day closer to my next birthday (and the cake just isn't as exciting to me now as it was when I first heard this album!), drawing me into a void. Some days I can feel the laws of gravity weighing me down; some days I seem to wake up to a new wrinkle, another strand of grayish hair, a cramp in the hand or the foot, a need to reach for the reading glasses. It's during times like these that I turn to 'my magic elixir' - the younger, 'sillier' girl that I once was whose emotions were affected by musical mentors like Duran Duran. Sometimes I can use a little of her youthful magic... and it doesn't take a lot of time or money, all I have to do is pop in a CD like this one and relive those happy memories. It's music like this, bands like this that not only took the music world by storm as 'pretty boys' (which they still are, sort of, and I mean that in a good way), but also left a sizable imprint on a whole generation of fans. Of which I was one, am still, and forever will be... proudly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duran Duran-when they were good
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021

The first two albums of DD are very dance-influenced as the bass and drums are some of the best ever heard. So I highly recommend this album and Rio by DD. Listen with your headphones and pick out the bass and drums and it may want you to pick up and play these instruments.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you do not own this, you're not really a Duranie. If you're not a Duranie, you will be after listening to this classic.
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015

The original release for this record went under many changes before the final product was marketed. This much effort went into what is to be the vital beginnings of a mega iconic band. Girls On Film, Planet Earth, Careless Memories, and My Own Way, all still sound as fresh in the millennial years, even if they were created before the MTV era.

Duran Duran debut album was so popular it was re-released once they reached a stunning success in the States (1982-1984). That version has a different songlist. With the original, some gems can be heard, hints of new mega hits to come later on in Rio and Seven and the Ragged Tiger.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2014

Everything about this album is FANTASTIC! It is a Killer First album from a, then, unknown band, and they went on to Massive success. This kicked it all off. And they are Still going--they Never went away. If you haven't listened to Duran Duran in years, or maybe never, but Love Good Music, Check it out. I was Not a Fan back in the 80's--I liked Hungry Like a Wolf and A View to a Kill and stuff, but I wasn't a "Duranie" by Any means. I recently rediscovered them... or maybe DISCOVERED them is more accurate. I Wish I had listened back in the day, but at least I have them Now. I Highly Recommend this album--I think you might be Pleasantly Surprised!

当時のMTVの影響力を最も駆使して全米を席巻した英国のアイドルバンド・・・と当時中学生の自分は思っていましたが。今聞いても曲は良いですね。元はバーミンガムで地道にバンド活用していた奴らですもんね。J-POPやK-POPのアイドルとは一線を画して考えたいですね、ただのアイドルでは無いと！次盤のリオ、名盤のセブン＆・・・と如実にDance Rockへ方向性が向かいますが、このデビューアルバムの（おそらくDavid Bowie影響下の）グラムロックの香りを残している頃も良いと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars Sous l'influence du " Siren " de Roxy Music , le 1er album de Duran Duran est une réussite .
Reviewed in France on June 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
Sûrement l'album le plus nerveux des Duran Duran , ce 1er album permet de découvrir de jeunes musiciens qui jouent excellemment bien & possèdent un sens de la mélodie imparable .
En disciples de Roxy Music , les Duran Duran soignent le fond & la forme , le succès se fera autant d'un point de vue musical que par rapport à l'image .

Musicalement , l'atout incontestable de ce 1er disque est sans conteste la rythmique basse / batterie qui donne une dynamique incroyable aux morceaux dont le surtout remarquable John Taylor , influencé par John Gustafson des Roxy Music , qui tricote des lignes de basse mémorables .

Globalement l'album s'écoute d'une traite sans qu'aucun morceau ne soit faible , une franche réussite .
S'il fallait ne trouver qu'un défaut on dirait que ce 1er album souffre juste de la comparaison avec la qualité hors-norme des compositions présentes sur son successeur " Rio " .
