Reseña
El álbum Seven and the Ragged Tiger, de 1983, es la obra que captura a Duran Duran en la cima absoluta de su fama mundial, en el apogeo de la "Duranmania". Por lo tanto, este disco es un trabajo concebido para los grandes estadios, con un sonido de pop-funk grandilocuente y una producción expansiva diseñada para un público global. De hecho, es el sonido de la banda más grande del planeta en ese momento.
En consecuencia, la producción del álbum es impecable y tecnológicamente muy avanzada para su época. El uso de los sintetizadores de Nick Rhodes es más prominente y sofisticado que nunca, creando texturas y atmósferas complejas. Como resultado, el disco tiene un sonido muy pulido y de una enorme ambición.
Además, el álbum contiene tres sencillos que se convirtieron en éxitos masivos en todo el mundo. "The Reflex", en su versión remezclada por el legendario Nile Rodgers de la banda Chic, se convirtió en su número uno más grande e icónico. Por otro lado, "Union of the Snake" y "New Moon on Monday" son ejemplos perfectos de su pop bailable y lleno de estilo.
Sin embargo, a pesar de su enorme éxito, algunos críticos consideraron que el álbum carecía de la frescura y la espontaneidad de sus trabajos anteriores. A pesar de ello, 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' es un testimonio del poder y la ambición de una banda que dominó el mundo del pop como pocas antes o después. En resumen, es la banda sonora de su coronación.

- The ReflexVer letra
[X]letra de The Reflex
You've gone too far this time
And I'm dancing on the valentine
I tell you somebody's fooling around
With my chances on the danger line
I'll cross that bridge when I find it
Another day
To make my stand
High time is no time for deciding
If I should find a helping hand
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
Must be answered with a question mark
I'm on a ride and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the round-about
I sold the radio and T.V. set
Don't want to be around when this gets out
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
Must be answered with a question mark
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
Why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don't lose it
The reflex is a lonely child
Who's waiting by the park
The reflex is a door to finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does
Must be answered with a question mark
The reflex - what a game!
He's hiding all the cards
The reflex is in charge of finding
Treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover
Isn't that bizarre?
Every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark - New Moon On MondayVer letra
[X]letra de New Moon On Monday
Shake up the picture
The lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it?
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time la luna
I light my torch
And wave it for the new moon on Monday
And a fire dance
Through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
Breaking away
With the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Send me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time la luna - (I'm Looking For) Cracks In The Pavement
- I Take The DiceVer letra
[X]letra de I Take The Dice
Midnight I think I'm gonna make it
Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives
Headline in tomorrow's papers
Kill that light it's so bright
And you're shining it right in my eyes
Chorus:
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how
To believe in your advice
Just this once I take the dice
Midnight so what's the point of faking
For a kiss or a whisper you pull out a desperate prize
Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelet
Make them pay for their chances
With money they don't think that's nice
(chorus) - Of Crime And PassionVer letra
[X]letra de Of Crime And Passion
Why did you let me run
When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole
Where your heart should be
Liar-couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
Just take a look (before you run off and hide)
At your victim
arise
Clouds on you shoulder
Aren't they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather
When the storm is about to blow
Chorus:
No don't look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion's rage
Summer of madness or the undertow
Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire
On a stranger's smile
Bride of wire-how disguise so easily cracked
Saw your heart turn spade
This orchid's turned to black
Graze on your shoulder
Like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather
When the storm is about to blow
(chorus)
Way down by the shoulder
In the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together
And the storm is about to blow
(chorus) - Union Of The SnakeVer letra
[X]letra de Union Of The Snake
Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing
My senses together
And I think it's about to break
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break, it's gonna move up
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline
The union of the snake is on the climb
It's gonna race, it's gonna break, it's gonna move up
To the borderline Músicos invitados: B.J. Nelson (Vocals [Additional]), Michelle Cobbs (Vocals [Additional]) - Shadows On Your SideVer letra
[X]letra de Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than
All of their roar wit the heat of the planet's core-but
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend
To a tune of its own
Hey you'll never hear that voice again
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the
Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure-that
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side - Tiger TigerVer letra

(Instrumental) - The Seventh StrangerVer letra
[X]letra de The Seventh Stranger
Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers
In the dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows?
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
Can't tell the real from reflections
When all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
Some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
I could have sworn in one evening
And I'm not seized in desperation
No still reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
From rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
