Hello friends and welcome to another edition of Trve. Crvp. Pop!, where we try our very best to find the very worst album ever created in musical history.

On this weeks episode we look at the 8th studio album from UK new wave legends Duran Duran, Thank You, released on the 27th of March 1995.

Duran Duran were obviously massive in the 80's, but in the 90's it was far harder for the huge pop bands of that decade to succeed amongst a radically changing landscape. Duran Duran actually did manage it for a while though, their 1993 self-titled album (known as The Wedding Album) and it's lead single Ordinary World was a surprise smash. You'd think that all you'd need to do was make another one of them and you'd have yourself established as a proper 90's band... or you could do what Duran Duran did and make an album of covers. Covering the biggest artists of all time, from Bob Dylan to Public Enemy, Iggy Pop to The Temptations, Lou Reed to Led Zep, Elvis Costello to The Doors. Bold strategy, it killed their career for a while. But is it actually any good?
