Their third album, the bizarrely titled Seven and The Ragged Tiger, is again filled with big hooks and hits, but also with a bit more of an edge.
Duran Duran's third album Seven and the Ragged Tiger was released in the Fall of 1983.
"Seven and the Ragged Tiger" is England's Fab Five's third album (Number one in the UK and top ten in America!), which is more avant garde and complex than anything we've ever heard before.

 Seven and the Ragged Tiger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seven is for us -- the five band members and the two managers -- And The Ragged Tiger is success.
Le Bon and Rhodes focused on the atmospheric, layered sound found in "Tiger Tiger" in their project, Arcadia, while John and Andy Taylor joined with Robert Palmer and members of CHIC to create Power Station, built around the rock sound seen developing in "Of Crime and Passion".

 NewBeats: Duran Duran
By 1983's Seven and the Ragged Tiger, Duran Duran already hit their stride as the Fab Five.
"The Seventh Stranger," the instrumental "Tiger Tiger") that is only enlivened by the damn best singles "The Reflex "(the original, not the remixed single version), "New Moon on Monday", and "Union of the Snake"; "Shadows on Your Side" is an underrated gem that should have been a hit.
To compare this to the first album, Seven sounds certainly commercial but on an artistic level, this was the New Romantic sound at its height.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Duran Duran
'Tiger Tiger' is an instrumental throwback to the groups first LP in one sense.
If 'Rio' was the sound and style of the beach, 'Seven And The Ragged Tiger' attempts to take us on some kind of journey around bakingly hot jungles.
The album tracks presented to us on 'Seven And The Ragged Tiger' are not quite as strong as the Rio 'filler', although certainly neither are the filler tracks here especially weak, 'Tiger Tiger' possibly excepted.

 Duran Duran : Seven and the Ragged Tiger - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
It's apparent that Seven and the Ragged Tiger's content has the band moving ever so slightly into a danceclub arena, with the songs leaning more toward their ability to produce a sexier sound through electronics and instrumentation than through a firm lyrical and musical partnership.
Although they may have turned their songwriting down a notch in order to succumb to the pabulum of synthesized pop, they didn't relinquish every aspect of their genius, and when they do deliver, it's bright, energetic, and effectual.
Duran Duran's new direction eventually gave Seven and the Ragged Tiger double platinum status.

 Amazon.com: Seven and the Ragged Tiger: Music: Duran Duran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Seven & the Ragged Tiger is artier than Duran Duran's first two releases.
The title was fitting, ragged would desribe the band after the fever pitch hype surrounding them after Rio, the mini lp- Carnival, and the re-release of the original debut album.
Seven is such a meaningful number which the song does make a hint at "Some days are strange to number, some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger, a year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by, I could have sworn in one evening".

 Amazon.co.uk: Seven and the Ragged Tiger: Limited Edition: Music: Duran Duran   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
By the release of 1983's SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER, Duran Duran were genuine MTV-anointed superstars, which makes thisset's somewhat more experimental vibe an impressive step.
I adored Duran Duran, Rio is THE album of the 80's for me and 7 & The Ragged Tiger was the album which represents them at the peak of their success and their excess.
But my favourite is probably 'Tiger Tiger' - I've always been a fan of DD's instrumentals, I loved Tel Aviv on the 1st album but this is their best and was used on the 2004 tour aswell as on the original 84 tour (what a nostalgia trip!!!).

 YUK's Review
Thankfully, Seven and the Ragged Tiger has much better cover art.
Tiger Tiger - This is the instrumental on the album.
(with the exception of "Tiger Tiger" That one is just as cool.) I just really like singles to be a reflection of an albums quality, otherwise the listener can save a few dollars and just buy the single.

 NIGHT VERSION COMPANION
The tape these tracks were taken from was really only meant to be used as a one time reference medium to be recorded over the next day, or just simply erased.
We were not using drum machines and sequencers at the time except on "Tiger Tiger", which came at the end of the sessions.
"Seven And The Ragged Tiger" (the song) is especially interesting as someone has gone to the trouble of replicating the demo's using drum machines.

 CLASSIC TRACKS: 'The Reflex'
Initial songwriting and demo sessions for Seven And The Ragged Tiger took place during a three-month spell in the South of France that began in March 1983, where everyone lived and worked in a three-storey chateau while a 24-track mobile studio rented from North London's RAK Studios was parked outside.
The writing sessions for Seven And The Ragged Tiger took place in a French chateau, and were recorded to an RAK mobile truck, as Ian Little's diagram shows.
After Seven And The Ragged Tiger, Ian Little went on to produce Belouis Some's debut album Some People — including the classic 'Imagination' — and Sparks' Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat, before in the late '80s family concerns kept him out of the music business for a number of years.

 Duran Duran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finally, at the end of 1983 the band released Seven and the Ragged Tiger.
Seven and the Ragged Tiger included the late 1983 hit "Union of the Snake"; Duran Duran thus had Top Twenty hits off of three albums in a single year.
In the three years between the release of Seven and the Ragged Tiger and Notorious, many of their teenage fans had grown up, and the music was funkier, more mature, and less "pop", given the added experience garnered from their work with Arcadia and Power Station and the many gifted musicians they had encountered.

Hmm...of Duran Duran it has to be "Seven and the Ragged Tiger", which I find a little better than "Rio" and "Notorious".
I'll second this :) Duran Duran - Seven And The Ragged Tiger is perhaps my favorite album of all time.
I especially love the segway between Duran Duran – Tiger Tiger and Duran Duran – The Seventh Stranger.

 Overstock.com: Duran Duran - Seven & The Ragged Tiger : Music
By the release of 1983`s SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER, Duran Duran were genuine MTV-anointed superstars, which makes this set`s somewhat more experimental vibe an impressive step.
The band`s original goal was to be a cross between Chic and the Sex Pistols, but most of SEVEN AND THE RAGGED TIGER explores a sort of glitter-tinged art-rock that occasionally resembles the first couple of albums by Sparks.
There were three enormous hits off this album: the jagged "Union of the Snake," the anthemic "New Moon On Monday," and "The Reflex," which was drastically remixed by Chic`s Nile Rodgers for its single release.

 Tug Of War by Enchant CD
From the Reflex, the completely danceable, synthesized opening track, to the almost-a-title-track heartbreak of the Seventh Stranger...this awesomely produced 1983 album is an essential for a die-hard fan (like myself) of the 80's British Invasion bands.
It's almost as if by re-adding the other two original members, they were able to pick up right where Tiger left off.
Seven and the ragged tiger was Duran Duran's third album.

 phdynamic's Music Reviews
Seven and the Ragged Tiger pales next to Duran Duran's first two efforts, but the style and glitz of singles like "The Reflex" make this album necessary for anyone who's had the insistent beat of Simon Lebon stuck in their head all day long.
The album finds Duran Duran switching gears slightly, cranking up the synthesized aspects of the music, turning down the arty songwriting, and adding a heaping helping of danceclub culture for good measure.
As should I! America's Sweetheart, much to my surprise, isn't as bad as all the reviews say it is. Sure, Courtney's voice sounds a little ragged, but this hardly matters since the raggedness seems to be part of her trashy junkie-cum-celebrity persona.

 Flash Seven and the Ragged Tiger at Jason and Nihongonauts
Ah, but fate would come back to bite me in the arse, as sure enough, it was determined that planes and bombs were too aggressive, so could we go with something more associated with tigers, and adopt a more Japanese theme.
So yesterday, after putting the project on hold upon which I was working, which was also putting yet another project on hold, I made a brand-spanking new logo, complete with tigers and hearts, and some kanji, for the full on Japanese flavour.
It sounds like most of the time you know somebody wants X but they say noooo I want Y then after you put all the time in it they go.

 Seven by Enrique Iglesias CD
With SEVEN, Iglesias delivers one of his most high-energy albums, distilling the sequencers, wall of guitars, tinkling wind chimes, and dramatic vocals into a cohesive and exhilarating whole.
The primary author of all of the disc's tracks, Enrique also proves that he is a top-notch pop songwriter, fully in control of his own musical vision.
In the end, though, Iglesias knows it's his classic teen-idol voice that wins over his legion of fans, and on SEVEN his passionate interpretations are guaranteed to make his adoring admirers swoon.
