"Big Thing" is the second Duran Duran album since Roger and Andy Taylor left the lineup, and it's also the group's first flop. While it spawned the Top Ten "I Don't Want Your Love" and the lesser hit "All She Wants Is," this album was cooly received by the public, who didn't find it as accessible as "Rio" or "Seven and the Ragged Tiger." But you have to at least give Simon, Nick and John credit for being experimental, as they come up with some really good material on "Big Thing." "Too Late Marlene" is a sorely overlooked album cut, while the compelling tribute to Andy Warhol "Do You Believe in Shame" was virtually ignored by all but the group's diehard fans. And "Palomino" is a straight-up goregous ballad. But the crowning moment is "The Edge of America" which leads up to the disc's closer, "Lake Shore Driving." Simon was particularly disappointed with the lackluster sales of this record, but it's not too late to visit this underrated album which proves that Duran Duran were much more than a bunch of photogenic Brits who made flashy videos.

Big Thing is one of my favorite Duran Duran albums. The entire B side with "Lake Shore Driving" and the Interlude - it's 1980's syntheizer magic. No band on earth has ever come close to this incredible sound. Listen to it in the dark for a sensual treat.

The 2010 digital release of the 1988 release of "Big Thing" is phenomenal and ranks right up there with the "Rio" re-release. I never was that crazy about the original title track, but the 12" remix of "Big Thing" (never publicly released until now) is full of intense beats and plenty of Nick Rhodes' inimitable keyboard hooks. The "Big Thing" remix simply rocked the whole album and was a great lead-in to the big hit of "I Don't Want Your Love". The soulful ballads of "Too Late Marlene", "Do You Believe In Shame?", and "Palomino" simply sound so revitalized under the the digital production. My least favorite track of "The Edge of America" even sounded better than the original. For the plus sides of the album, you cannot go wrong with the "Big Thing" (12" version), the Big Mix of "I Don't Want Your Love", and of course, the multitude of mixes of "All She Wants Is" will get your house rockin'! Excellent edition in the DD series of digital re-releases! Enjoy!

Great album, great second disc of tunes
I'd give it five stars, but then what do you give Rio? So it's stuck at four. Sorry guys. If you are interested in this, you probably already know the album, and it's a great one. Read more
