Once upon a time in a land of vinyl. an album 'typically' consisted of 8-10 songs. For Paper Gods, we get a total of 17 songs so far but unfortunately in order t get all 17 on CD, you have to buy both the Paper Gods (Deluxe), and now the Paper Gods (Target) discs. I've heard 'On Evil Beach' and right away had to go make the Target purchase after having previously bought the deluxe. Out of the 17 songs, there are easily 8 super top notch Duran songs. If those 8 songs would have been released at a time when you only found 8-10 on an album, this would be considered a 90. For that reason, I give it a five star rating. 'Paper Gods' 'On Evil Beach' 'Pressure Off' 'What Are The Chances' 'Butterfly Girl' 'Only In Dreams' 'You Kill Me With Silence' 'Planet Roaring' 'Northern Lights' 'Last Night In The City' and 'Face For Today' are truly brilliant. Slightly annoying to have to buy 2 discs to get all the songs, but it's surely worth it. Very grateful that Duran Duran are still giving us new music nearly four decades later.

All the great CDs- and remixes- by one of the best bands ever.

This would have been ahead of it's time back when it was recorded.  It's also exceptionally good for being recorded at a time Duran Duran was recording sub-par albums.  It still holds up today.  Also, being a huge Duran Duran fan, this is perfect while waiting for their next album.

This disc has a bunch of good songs on it. In my opinion, the best is probably, "In This River", a beautiful ballad that, unlike some of the other tunes on the album, seems to never grow old. Not that the occasional repetitive yet always energetic and memorable guitar riffs aren't worth cranking up as high as your stereo speakers and close neighbors will allow.

This is a great CD with 12 of the thirteen songs of this best collection album being picked by the fans.  It has such memorable Songs as Blurry Eyes the theme song to DNA^2.  It also has the opening to GTO "Driver's High".  This band has been together for 10 years now may they stay together

While not on the level of Punk-O-Rama 4 or 5, the eight installment in the series is jam-packed with excellent punk rock and also some great non-punk tracks. Favorites of mine on disc one are an awesome cut from The Distillers, a track from Bouncing Souls upcoming CD that is not as punky as I'm used to from them but still great, NOFX's first single from the bitchin' new album War on Errorism, and a track from Bad Religion that I've never heard before. Also there were two non-punk tracks that really blew me away, the first being Makeshift Patriot by Sage Francis. Francis melds spoken word and rap togther in the form of a painfully honest commentary about post-9/11 America that is definitely worth a listen. The other track that really knocked my socks off was The Black Keys. Think of Stevie Ray Vaughn having an illegitimate love child with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. That's about the best way I can describe this song. Mind-numbingly cool.
Personal highlights from the second disc are Death By Stereo, the new and for me, long awaited Pennywise song (which totally delivers), a cut from DKM soon-to-be-released new disc, Transplants featuring Davey Havok (who also has a nice track with Tiger Army), Raised Fist (a band I hadn't heard before but want to hear more of), and another..Bad Religion song.
There are some tracks I don't personally care for (Matchbook Romance, Ikara Colt) but for the most part this is an awesome compilation that deserves to be in any punk fan's collection.

Most of the songs are superb, especially #2, #3, & #11.  It's been in my car CD player for several years now.

Every song is good. Especially Stairway to Heaven and Battle of Evermoor. I am 12 years old and this is a perfect introduction to a classic band. Jimmy Page is the best rock guitarist and Limp Bizkit SUCK.The drums are fast and  cool.

I was worried when Duran Duran saw several of its original members go separate ways.  This album is both pop and rock with sexually charged words and chords.  Many of the songs are clearly for dancing while others make you think, especially the title song.  It is one of my favorites.

It's true most anyone could pick another song or two to be included, but for the most part, this IS the best of "Van Halen", and it really improves on the last collection. It's nice to see some albums get four selections on here and not just one. Another big plus, the new songs are really good, I mean I really like "It's About Time" and "Up For Breakfast", both are welcome additions. My only complaints, or questions actually, why wasn't disc 1 all "Dave", and disc 2 all "Sammy"? Also, if they want to mix up all the tracks, why are the new songs and live tracks bunched together (Amazon's track listing is incorrect)? Mix 'em up! Anyway, any random or shuffle button will fix that. It is short on photos too, but there's a decent band history to make up for that, plus 25 years of top notch rock. Even though these songs are gettin' old, they sure do sound good "Right Now".

Nick, John, Simon, Roger and Andy. These were the first men I ever fell in love with (Well, poor Andy is pretty busted, but the rest make up for it). At one point in my life I have had 376 pictures of the Fab Five plastered on my walls. I was TRULY obsessed. Every drop of my allowance went towards my Duran Duran collection. I love every single song on this album.

I saw them in concert this year and they are a hot as ever and it was sooo fun to pretend to be 12 again for just one night as my friend and I drooled and screamed our heads off the entire concert. MUCH more fun this time since I could partake in adult beveridges unlike my fist D2 concert in sixth grade.

These songs just put me in a terrific mood and sound just as great today as they did 20 years ago (God I'm old!)

I'd say that I really enjoy 7 out of 10 of the tracks, but I leave it on repeat because it's that good.

As a TRUE DIE HARD DURAN DURAN FAN...I must say that this package contains MANY surprises. One being that, 'Is There Something I should Know?' is not on this collector's piece. MOST people but not all, have not ever even heard 'To The Shore' which was mostly sold in the UK on their Original DD album (without)... 'Is There Something I Should Know?'. In the US it was opposite, 'To The Shore' was not found on the US release of the DD album but, 'Is There Something I Should Know?' was.

This album contains refreshing never-heard-before versions of 'Girls On Film' and 'Tel Aviv'. 'Tel Aviv' was mostly an instrumental track. NOT HERE!! On this set you can really hear Nick's, Roger's, and Andy's contribution to 'Careless Memories'. If you set your stereo's volume to 3/4's...WOW. They can really jam on that tune. John's contribution can really be heard here too but, you have to listen for it. Simon did a really great job on 'Careless Memories' as well.

There are many surprises that I feel I must allow YOU to see and hear for yourself. I wish not to spoil any more of the surprises than I may already have.

The Dvd is exceptional. There are pieces or versions that you cannot find anywhere else. For that reason alone you should buy this collector's edition. For the overall price and relative value. This is a MUST. I am not typing this just to 'hype' up this set. This set get's MORE THAN 5-Stars!!!!!

Hope this review help's. Peace.

this cd is badass. #1, #3, #4, #5, #7, #10 on the first cd are crazy. #1, #8, #9 on the 2nd cd are also mindblowing.
