Customer Reviews

From a creative peak to a creative low...2
"Sweet Dreams" sold because it was original, "Touch" sold because of the quality of the songs, "Be Yourself Tonight" and "Revenge" sold because they drew in a bigger, rock-orientated crowd, whilst "Savage" sold because it renewed the creative spirit of the Eurythmics. So what about "We Too Are One", the (what was then) final chapter of the Eurythmics discography? The album reached number 1 in the UK, but flopped in America- this was the market which Eurythmics were exactly hoping to 'break' by force. "We Too Are One" displays some fine songwriting ("Don't Ask Me Why", "Angel" and "Sylvia" come to mind), and Lennox's voice is top-notch as per usual. But the album comes off as being largely bland. Songs like "Revival", "How Long?" and "(My My) Baby's Gonna Cry" display the bland quality that Eurythmics descended into amongst squabbles, bust-ups and arguments, whilst "We Two Are One" almost seems like the group are trying too hard to portray a united band image. Where was the originality of "Touch" or the chilling tunes from "1984"?
A big disappointment.

FAREWELL SONGS4
Eurythmics bowed out in 1989 with this accomplished pop album, full of their usual strong hooks and poetic lyrics. The farewell feeling is very tangible throughout the album, especially so on the rousing but sad King and Queen of America (... "the king of nothing/and the queen of pain ...") and the atmospheric When The Day Goes Down with its beautiful lyric about compassion for the weak. Don't Ask Me Why and Angel made the charts in the UK and are the more immediately accessible tracks here. Not quite as brilliant as "Savage," "Be Yourself Tonight" or "Revenge," this is nevertheless still a strong album which all Eurythmics fans will appreciate.
