 Amazon.com: Rio: Music: Duran Duran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
On "Rio," Duran perfected a formula that they devised on their first album, 1981's "Duran Duran," and would repeat throughout the 1980s: a "side one" of catchy, up-tempo songs and a "side two" of moodier, atmospheric numbers.
Those inspirations must have been the seeds for the songs that evolved into their second album, "Rio." There is an amazing amount of youthful exuberance to be found throughout this disc's nine songs, and the band plays with confidence that belied "Rio's" sophomore album status.
Rio maybe have been dancing across the sand, but for Duran Duran, this solid album was sugar sweet and remains their best work.
