"Pop Trash" was released last year to massive amounts of...NOTHING. The CD went over like a lead balloon. There are a few decent tracks on it, but all in all, I was not impressed.
Maybe the reunion with all three Taylors will be the creative kick in the ass that this band needs. Over the past few years, Simon Le Bon has been suffering a horrid case of writers block, so all writing was basically left to Nick Rhodes and Warren C. (I will not even attempt to spell his name...) and they have sunk to an all time low. With Warren gone to reunite Missing Persons and Andy, John and Roger re-joining DD, I have high hopes that they will get back on track.
Although, it is hard to say how long this "reunion" will last. John Taylor has been quite happy with his solo career and Roger has said many times that he is not interested in being a "pop" star.
