LIST OF ALBUM REVIEWS: In the Garden (1981)
Synth pop coolie, or synth-pop doodie. Send your thoughts here. Brief album summaries:
In the Garden (1981)The Eurythmics' first album is something pleasant and artful, and there's nothing here that would play on the radio. Are you as intrigued as I? Overall Album Score: 9.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 9.3

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (1982)It's the Eurythmics' commercial glory album! I like it a lot, but it's not as intrinsically interesting as their previous one. >:( Overall Album Score: 8.8 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.9

Touch (1983)The Eurythmics' follow-up to their synth-pop classic is ... not quite as impressive, but it's still mightily enjoyable. The instrumentation is excellent for a synth-pop group, and the melodies are RULE. Overall Album Score: 8.4 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.6

Be Yourself Tonight (1985)Now, The Eurythmics are ready for the REAL commercial pay-off. This has some of '80s radio more enduring classics ... The supporting material ain't that great, but the hits sure are fantastic. Overall Album Score: 8.1 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.2

Revenge (1986)YAY! "WHEN TOMORROW COMES!!!!!!!!!!!" This follow-up to their commercial smash is quite similar to it, but it has better overall songs on it, methinks. Overall Album Score: 8.5 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.6

We Too Are One (1989)The Eurythmics' return to form --- it's tasteful pop rock. There are no big hits, but a few great moments amidst some relatively boring stuff. Overall Album Score: 7.9 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.2
