After dwindling commercial success in the early 1990s, Duran Duran returned to the UK top five and US top 10 with this album, which has been certified Gold in the UK and Platinum in the US. The singles "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone" reached the US top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.

The cover art by Nick Egan features wedding photos from the parents of the four band members.[13]

The first sounds out of the studio were in late 1991, even then 'Ordinary World' existed and sounded like a sure fire hit.
