Sobre el álbum
El álbum Red Carpet Massacre, de 2007, es la incursión de Duran Duran en el sonido del R&B y el pop electrónico de la década de 2000. Para este trabajo, la banda decide colaborar con productores de vanguardia como Timbaland y Danja, así como con el cantante Justin Timberlake. Es uno de sus discos más orientados a la pista de baile.
El sonido del álbum está dominado por los ritmos de hip-hop y R&B, los sintetizadores modernos y una producción muy pulida. El disco se aleja por completo de su sonido de rock para buscar un nuevo público en la escena del pop contemporáneo.
Este cambio estilístico tan radical no fue bien recibido ni por la crítica ni por una gran parte de sus seguidores. Pese a contar con temas interesantes como "Falling Down", el álbum es a menudo considerado uno de los puntos bajos de su carrera.
'Red Carpet Massacre' es un experimento valiente pero fallido. Es el sonido de una banda legendaria que intenta adaptarse a las nuevas tendencias, pero que en el proceso pierde una parte importante de su propia identidad.

- The Valley4:58
Letra
These are days of hit and run In the stream with everyone Is a moment of our lives On a wandering river Going on together Many journeys to arrive I've been walking Through the valley Through the tall grass And the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it When I think I'm being strong And I lose direction then a life starts looking mischievous Finding revelation Out of desperation Always stretching time But it's never long enough You think you're happy Think you're free But maybe we're just Comfortably dizzy I've been running Through the valley Through the tall grass And the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it I've been running Through the valley Through the tall grass Through the shadows And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it Through the city And the towers Turning minutes Into hours And I feel it I can see it Yes I need it I believe it - Red Carpet Massacre3:17

Dark sun rose on the ridge cut clear across the sky As good a day as any to die No reservation madam No reason to know why Running late stiletto heels Try to loosen up the wheels You spend your life in preparation for this day Breathe in the air; it's loaded with fame Check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray String of pearls meet bits of gems Enter the battle of the lenses Red carpet massacre Don't want to hassle you Red carpet massacre Deathstalk papparazzi yeah Red carpet massacre It's going to mess with you We're in business You're on the hit list There's not so many now still standing on their feet Their knives are out and singing so sweet Engage with sharper minds that cut you when you meet Anyplace to mess around When someone wants to take you down Maybe you think you're above this But baby we know that you love it Baby you know where to shove it Apply your lipstick 'Fore dying in public Red carpet massacre Don't want to hassle you Red carpet massacre Deathstalk papparazzi yeah Red carpet massacre Don't want to mess with you Now it's time Next in line We're so busted Done and dusted - Nite-Runner3:58

Letra
Once was a man who consumed his place and time He thought nothing could touch him But here and now it's a different storyline Like the straw he is clutching Why has the sky turned grey? Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder And why has my life gone astray? Scarred by disgrace, I know that it's over Because I'm falling down With people standing round But before I hit the ground Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me? Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head Caught inside it's own motion How I wish it was somebody else instead Howling at all this corrosion Why did the luck run dry? Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me Why do the cruel barbs fly? Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me Because I'm falling down With people standing round But before I hit the ground Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me? Because I'm falling down With people standing round But before I hit the ground Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me? I don't know... Why... - Box Full O´ Honey3:11

Walking under skies Waiting for the fall Meet me at the cornershop I'll show you it all Free you of your mind Something you wont find In the west-end pages with your google dirty fingers It's a skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Dip into the water Rap: Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air Wipe us of the face Of the human race Whichever way you look it's indisposed or disgraced Fighting on the shore The hoi polloi want more Howling bloody murder but it's nothing just a murmur In your skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Slip into the water Rap: Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air A blushing rose is torn From these sugar walls I've misplaced my future could I please borrow yours? Panic on the scene You know what I mean Anything you want to be the only thing you want from me Is skin dive In deep silence we are Going underwater It's a lifeline Teardrop, bullets, all night Go inside the water Rap: Babygirl you're swimming A little too deep So deep....that I think you might hit a reef I think you low on oxygen And you're too glad to leave Babygirl swim to the top Grab my hand and hold me and breathe Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air That's what it feels like when you come up for air When you come up for air You feel brand new When you come up for air When you come up for air - Tempted4:24

Letra
Zooming in Stood on the line You understand I've been waiting forever Come rain come shine In the wind in the snow In the filty weather You've got it all worked out Ya but it knocks you out But I'm zooming in Now she arrives In a flaming crash Like a falling star Heading straight for the dive Gonna make some cash With the avatar You got it all worked out I know you know I don't want you to go Ya but it knocks you out I'm zooming in on you on you Don't look back you�re a heart attack x 4 You've got it all worked out Ya but it knocks you out We're not alone In the 2nd life There are millions like us Right here In the stones In the air too bright All the new insiders You've got it all worked out I know you know I don't want you to go Ya but it knocks you out I'm zooming in on you on you Na na na na na na I know you know I don't want you to go Na na na na na na I'm zooming in and out on you - She´s Too Much5:14

Letra
There's a dirty great monster In this house We pretend it's not there And there's no escape From It's grip But nobody seems to care Do you ever wonder About the days When we were straight But daddy got the hunger So much to hide We learn to lie So watch yourself In the hall Where you're not supposed to know Cuz we're all afraid of each other We're the victim's in this show Well Do you ever wonder About the days When we were straight when daddy got the hunger too much to hide We learn to lie Silently out numbered We made mistakes When we were straight Now we're all going under Oh oh So with a sigh we say good bye - Last Man Standing4:01
Letra
Now an unexpected peace comes to the day As the howling dimmed the fighting dies away when the hanging dust is clearing from the air you can just make out a lonely figure there He's the last man standing on the track He does not look down He does not look back He's the last man standing on the track You can't hold him down You can't hold him back He's the last man standing on the track He does not look down He does not look back He's the last man standing on the track You can't hold him down You can't hold him back he's sorry for the wrong he has done And he cries out for the anger for so long All the cuts and bruises suffered In whose name oh but now is not the time to face his shame He's the last man standing on the track He does not look down He does not look back He's the last man standing on the track You can't hold him down You can't hold him back the last man standing on the track He does not look down He does not look back He's the last man standing on the track You can't hold him down You can't hold him back He's the last man standing Last man standing He's the last man standing
