Decade
Decadeis a greatest hits album containing singles recorded between 1981 and 1989 ranging from "Planet Earth" to "Notorious." This CD provides any Durannie a chance to reflect on the transgression the group had made from the stark pop of "Girls on Film" to the New Romantic chariot "Save a Prayer" and finally to the dismal Brit funk embarrassment "All She Wants Is." The album could have been stronger if commercial hits such as "Notorious" were replaced with better songs like "New Moon on Monday." Nevertheless, the purpose of this collection was to display representative songs from each album created before 1989, and in this it succeeds.--Beth Bessmer
