Data Insight

All thirteen tracks are credited to Nick Rhodes, Warren Cuccurullo and Simon Le Bon. John Taylor left during the sessions, so the band credit drops back to three names and Rhodes takes a lead vocal for the first time.

Medazzaland came out on Capitol in October 1997, released only in North America, and is the first album made without John Taylor.
