CD Details
Synopsis
Amazon.comSeven & the Ragged Tiger is artier than Duran Duran's first two releases. "The Reflex" opens with one of the best bass-fueled intros ever, remaining more in the dance-pop arena than the rest of the album. Lyrically, the song contains one of the most memorable Duran Duran lines of all time, "Fl-Fl-Fl-Fl-Flex," which is reason enough to buy the whole stable. "Union of the Snake" is a mix of male ritual, slithering synths, and, again, big bad beats. Along with their first two albums, Seven & the Ragged Tiger is necessary to effectively complete the early Duran Duran experience. Interesting haircuts remain optional. --Steve Gdula

CD Reviews
The best album of the 1980s!! sauerkraut | 07/19/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I saw Duran Duran live at the Roxy this week, and though they didn't play any songs off this album, they still ROCKED!! "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" is everything you want in a pop album: great vocals, smart lyrics, awesome guitars. This album is even better than the overrated "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen, who isn't anywhere near as talented as Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes. Duran Duran are awesome and I really love this album!!"
