	Astronaut (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is the band's first studio album since Pop Trash (2000), and the first since Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983) to be recorded by the original five members of the band (the last studio recording of the original five was the "A View to a Kill" single [1985]).
		Astronaut debuted at #1 on the Internet album chart (that is, physical albums bought through Internet vendors), #3 in the UK album chart, and at #17 in the US Billboard 200 album chart, with similar Top Twenty debuts elsewhere in the world.
		On 20 December 2005, Astronaut was released on the SACD format.

	Pop Trash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pop Trash is an album released in 2000 by Duran Duran.
		The album marked their first release not under Capitol Records/EMI, with whom they'd been signed since 1981.
		During the making of this album, Simon Le Bon suffered from a severe case of writer's block, so keyboard player Nick Rhodes and guitarist Warren Cuccurullo took on more of the songwriting than usual.

		astronaut fuses the sounds of their alt/post-grunge/punk predecessors, pushing sweet-but-fierce vocals to soar with fast-and-furious, 70s-infused guitar licks and a rhythm section that will give you a run for your money.
		Blasting on to the New York music scene in early 2003, astronaut, with its wistful melodies, strong vocals, and complementary rhythms, is making its mark locally and nationally with a growing fan base and critical acclaim for its songs.

	Duran Duran: Astronaut - review of Duran Duran's new album featuring Sunrise
		Astronaut marks the return of Duran Duran under its original line-up.
		Despite the release of several albums in the 90's, the band hadn't been able to successfully bridge the gap between the 80's and the 21st century, except for The Wedding Album and the "White Lines" cover, which for a brief moment reminded us that they were still able to cut catchy glitz-pop tunes.
		The proof is certainly "Sunrise", the anthemic album opener, which is certainly their catchiest single since "A View To A Kill".

		With the original line-up restored for this album, Duran show that they were far better qualified to set trends rather than follow them (as they seem to have done over the last ten years or so).
		Rio was one of the first albums I ever remember truly loving, and their change in direction to a more Brit-pop/rock sound starting with "the Wedding Album" didn't bother me at all.
		Astronaut recaptures the vitality and incredible synergy that propelled them to the top of the charts again and again 20+ years ago.

		This album is so good that even my 9 year old autistic son will sit and listen all the way through, he'll even wait for "hymn for her" the song right at the end.
		In DD albums of old, you can hear each album has a particular style that they were into at the time and really went to town on it.
		I think Astronaut album is the best album of the year 2004 since it as usual as the distinctive characteristic sound of Duran Duran.

		The title track "Astronaut" is also a great song as is the song, "What Happens Tommorrow." So many of these songs have been heard in bits and pieces here and there and it's great to hear them all mastered and sounding the way they were meant to be heard.
		If you're a fan of the classic albums the group released back in the early eighties, back while they were in their prime, Astronaut shouldn't fail to please.
		The upside of this terrible album, is that the tour for this album does not reflect the album at all.

	Duran Duran
		Their eponymous debut album sold more than 2.5 million copies in 1981, staying on the charts for an astonishing 118 weeks and spawning the hit single 'Planet Earth'.
		While the Power Station's self titled album found Andy and John moving further afield from Duran Duran's signature sound, with an intriguing hybrid of funk and glamrock, Acardia's album 'So Red the Rose' was a sublime reaffirmation of the mother ship's style.
		Better known as the 'Wedding Album' (because the album artwork featured photos of their parents' weddings) the CD spawned the award winning smash 'Ordinary World' and its equally acclaimed follow-up 'Come Undone'.

		Their new album, Acrophobe, is an examination of the band's ability to go beyond the member's individual realms of rock music and experiment in the studio.
		Over the years it (Lagwagon) became somewhat of a family, whereas with Bad Astronaut, it's more of a group of friends who like to turn each other on with different records, and we all sort of come from our own specialties and connect with some sort of common denominator.
		Well, just that we're working on a new Bad Astronaut record, and we also have a split EP coming out with a band called ArmChair Martian on Owned and Operated, which is a Descendents' label.

		If it was meant to lower expectations of the first Duran Duran album to feature the Fab Five (meaning LeBon, Nick Rhodes, and the trio of unrelated Taylors) since Seven and the Ragged Tiger, it worked.
		Astronaut, rest assured, sounds nothing like that match made in hell.
		Even with a handful of forgettable songs beyond that, the album is easily the best one credited to the Duran Duran name since 1993's Wedding Album.

	News - The Tech Talk Online
		After several years of mediocre music and failed albums, Duran Duran reunited to create "Astronaut." The album is a slower paced one and should be considered easy listening instead of pop but still will attract listeners.
		The album has a different twist than their older albums and shows the band's growth.
		Overall, this album is an improvement on their others but still does not hit the mark, giving this album a B+.

		'Astronaut' is the first album in from the original Duran Duran line up since the release of 1983's 'Seven And The Ragged Tiger'.
		This album returns to the catchy electro-funk of their eighties releases and features the track '(Reach Up For The) Sunrise', the first single to be taken from the album.
		I think the only reason this album hasn't done better is the ongoing elitist snobbery of the music press who have always had it in for Duran (they were probably too good-looking and too successful).

	Duran Duran - Astronaut : album review
		And now, 21 years after their last studio album together, the darlings of the New Romantics movement have reunited with their original line-up for another go.
		The infectious title track, Astronaut, is full of frivolous acoustics and sweeping, spacy synths, while One Of Those Days carries a Nirvana-style riff.
		It's the California sunset of the Mamas and the Papas and is one of the most far-removed songs from Duran Duran's signature sound.

	Duran Duran: Musicfolio album reviews and ratings
		After releasing their self-titled debut album, The Durans were one of the biggest bands on the UK pop scene.
		With the release of their third album ' Seven and the Ragged Tiger', and it's #1 hit single ('The Reflex') in both the US and the UK, Duran Duran had become the biggest pop sensation since the Beatles, and the incontestable New-Romantic icon worldwide.
		This is an album of Duran Duran revisiting old sonic touchstones, and not coming up with anything that eclipses their older material.

		Taken from the bands 2004 album Astronaut (featuring the original line-up and 21 years after their last album), the title track is backed with 3 non-album tracks 'Silent Icy River' and 'What Happens Tomorrow' (Harry Peat Mix & Video).
		The Astronaut album from which this came is a really great album, and surprised even me, exceeding my expectations.
		The first Duran single ("Sunrise") from their newly released (2004) album ASTRONAUT (which features the original lineup) was a hit, and this song deserves the same treatment.

		After three albums, however, the original lineup splintered, and the band's profile began to fade.
		Unlike the group's more "mature" '90s offerings, 2004's ASTRONAUT eschews "adult alternative" trappings in favor of a return to their earlier bold, fun-loving sound, a move that couldn't have been better timed, considering the concurrent '80s-revival craze.
		ASTRONAUT appeared on the horizon as an alert to '80s-worshipping young bands that the men who wrote the book were back in action.

		In fact, “Astronaut” is easily their most ebullient record in many years.
		That covers the “upbeat” side of things but “Astronaut” is very much a double-sided coin as the second half of the album is far more mature sounding than the earlier tracks and reminiscent of the 90’s era Duran.
		One of the best things about “Astronaut” is that it also leaves one with the sense that they are moving ahead, that the next record will in a totally different place, perhaps a bit more experimental than they are here.

		Together, Roger (drums) and John (bass) are the rhythm core of Duran, which makes Astronaut the fourth "real" Duran album, the first since 1983's Seven and the Ragged Tiger.
		Je pense que cet album est très intéressant, le son est bon et l'esprit aussi.

		The album boasts numerous examples of classic songwriting within the three minute pop formula, with the signature 12-string guitars, keyboards, melodies, and addictive choruses found on Slipslide's two previous singles for Matinée.
		Slipslide have put together a debut album of their own music that is instantly likeable and yet it has obvious depth.
		The album starts with "Sleeptalk", the A-side to last year's smash 7" single, and the following ten songs continue in the same tradition of the singles: Aztec Camera/Byrds influenced guitars (be they electric and jangly or acoustic and 12-string) and terrific vocals.

	Duran Duran relaunches with catchy ‘Astronaut’ - ALBUM REVIEWS - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The album is a swath of effects-layered, slow- to mid-tempo songs, ranging from radio-friendly pop anthems like leadoff single “Sunrise” to more groovy and disco-influenced numbers like “Nice,” which recall the group’s early ’80s work on “Rio.”
		That said, “Astronaut” is not exactly a return to roots — at least four tracks feel so contemporary, they would sound at home on a Jamiroquai or Backstreet Boys album.
		Williams’ debut album is somewhere in that increasingly popular netherworld between alt-country and throaty, gentle folk rock — a hybrid that offers up wisps of Lucinda Williams, the nonpreachy songs of Natalie Merchant and even a bit of REM.
