It wasn’t always called "The Wedding Album," but over the years, Duran Duran’s self-titled 1993 album has taken on the name to avoid being confused with their 1981 debut (also self-titled). Whatever you want to call it, you may be surprised (if you’re just a casual Duran Duran fan or have never heard of them at all) to discover that it’s one of the group’s deepest and most emotionally appealing collection of songs.
The incredibly sultry and downright despondent "Come Undone" emerges halfway through as the stand-out track that, along with "Ordinary World," makes you feel pretty good about feeling so sad. And the hypnotic sounds of "Love Voodoo" and "UMF"will have you hitting replay as you dance along to your CD player.
As a longtime Duran Duran fan, I have always loved the more well-known albums "Rio" and "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" (what devoted DD fan could ever deny loving "The Reflex" or "Union of the Snake"?) But as a lover of great music that is timeless and not limited to just the 80s, I can’t help but praise the melancholy madness of this particular wedding.
