Grade: C
Duran Duran’s new album, “All You Need Is Now,” isn’t exactly a stellar set of tunes in itself, but if listeners can channel some of the superstar band’s older and greater hits, the sound is much more bearable. Not that change is crucial, but the album really doesn’t do much but recreate some of the golden oldies in a much less appealing fashion to the point where one might wonder if the album should be titled something along the lines of “Been There Done That, But We’re Doing it Again.”
