Medazzaland (25th Anniversary Edition)

25th anniversary of Duran Duran's ninth studio album. Features a beautiful art booklet with never-before-seen imagery and photos from the era. It’s an experimental art-rock album which rather wasted the return to the mainstream the band enjoyed with ‘The Wedding Album’, although the messing around with the Thank You covers record hadn’t helped in that regard. John Taylor also left the band during the recording (he only appears on 4 tracks) which feeds into a ‘going-slightly-off-the-rails’ narrative). Having said all that, there’s much to enjoy with the atmospheric ‘Midnight Sun’ being a real highlight for this writer.
