Talk:Rio (Duran Duran album)

message: This is really great, Catherine.  You obviously put a lot of effort into it.  Any more info you can find would be great, but this is well-detailed.  The only major thing it needs to be in line with Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums is a paragraph or two on the roots and influences of the album, both who influenced the sound of Duran Duran, and Rio specifically, and who was influenced by the sound of Duran Duran, and Rio specifically.
Were there any links to here that meant to go to Rio De Janeiro?  It seems potentially ambiguous. Tuf-Kat
:No, not a one.  I did a text search, and although there are thousands of Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande, et al, no one has tried to link to Rio  unless they meant the album.  I added a disambiguation block at the top, to be sure.  Don't think theres a need for Rio (album), but I'll move it if anyone disagrees.
:Thanks for the compliments! Catherine
::The question around the album title -- why Rio? -- can be definitively answered thanks to the excellent new book from Annie Zaleski (33 1/3: Rio) published in May 2021. I have updated the main page, citing the origin of the name, which has no explicit tie to the city, but was chosen for the feeling that the band hoped to evoke. Interestingly, the title came before the album, and also, nobody in the band at that point had ever been to the real city. Guywelch2000 (talk) 03:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Rio vs Rio de Janeiro

message: Uh... narrative under Background says Rio was recorded in spring of 1982, but the inset box says "January-February 1982".  Does spring come that early in London? -Rolypolyman 07:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for pointing out the inconsistent dates that had existed on an earlier version of this page. I have updated things, citing the excellent new book in the 33 1/3 series on Rio by Annie Zaleski released in May 2021. Guywelch2000 (talk) 17:42, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Dates incorrect

message: The band may have filmed this video at the same time as the others, but you need to make it clear that this is a song off the "Duran Duran" album (the first one), and is not contained on "Rio." 69.138.181.203 (talk) 04:04, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: "Night Boat"

message: There is a staggering lack of contemporaneous reviews for this album (save the one done by Robert Christgau) included in the article, which in turn severely disputes its neutrality, as the reader is left with no idea of how this album was received by critics at the time of its release, especially when the band in question is one that has been notorious (no pun intended) for being a near-steadfast target for critical disfavor. It would be much appreciated if some editors could help improve the article in this manner! Interlude 65 (Push to talk) 22:08, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
