"The first and I would consider the best. Holds up well to this day and the song "Friends of mine" is one of their very best! Nick's best work and John's as well next to "Notorious" Classic!!! 10/10"
"Rio has lots of classic moments for sure but I feel it's rated far too often as their best. Some songs are well dated and over produced. Great album but not the finest 8/10"
"I reckon the reason for mixing the crowd so low in the mix on this album was to show the world they can actually play. Well it works in reverse and the fact they can play was never in doubt. 4/10"
"Highly enjoyable album all around. A few mis-fires here and there but the high points make up for it. "All she wants is" is one of the best ever! Dont trust the reviews by so called critics. 7/10"
"The most maligned Duran album, this album actually got great reviews when it came out. It didnt sell so critics now assume it sucks. It doesnt and for me one of Duran's very best. Trust me! 9/10"
"The comeback album, so it must be all aces right? Not so fast! A very patchy album. The handfull of great songs slightly makes up for the filler. Overall good album but be cautious. 5/10"
"For all the bad reviews there are some great tracks. " I wanna take you higher" is just great. Now there are some dogs on here too. Once again, bad direction and very hit & miss 6/10"
"John leaves half way through recording and you can tell who the lifeblood is in the band. Disjointed, no direction and avoidable even for the hardcore fan like me. If your being honest, you know 2/10"
"Their second without John and equally as dire. Just way OTT for me with ridiculous song titles and themes. "Playing with uranium" is a stand out track but the rest is poor for Duran at best 2/10"
"The great comeback album with original members! Well not quite. Bad choices for singles didnt help this album. A half great Duran album and half average Duran. Virus should of been on here. 7/10"
