℗ 1983 RCA Records AHL1 4681
The Eurythmics' breakthrough album is a deft mix of electronic thrills, new wave chills, and sultry R&B, the latter supplied by Annie Lennox's warm tenor. Pretty much relying on themselves, Lennox and Dave Stewart slip past the music's usual coldness and into a territory all their own. It can be smug (the new wave here is served with a side of irony) and a tad dull (the long, operatic pieces serve little purpose), but the payoffs — "Love Is a Stranger" and, especially, the magnificent title tune — are among the finest the genre has to offer. — Michael Gallucci. |
