Album Reviews
Switching to Arista Records in the U.S., Eurythmics made their last album together with We Too Are One, and they went out in style. Calling upon a broad pop range, their seventh album was their best since Be Yourself Tonight in 1985. The sound was varied, the melodies were strong, and the lyrics were unusually well-crafted. In retrospect, the album can be seen as a dry run for Annie Lennox's debut solo album, Diva (1992); songs like "Don't Ask Me Why" (which grazed the U.S. Top 40) serve as precursors to the dramatic ballads to come. There is, however, an air of romantic resignation throughout We Too Are One, appropriate to its valedictory nature. The disc spawned four chart singles in the U.K. and returned Eurythmics to number one in the album charts, but it did not substantially improve Eurythmics' reduced commercial standing in the U.S., confirming that it was time for Lennox and Dave Stewart to pursue other opportunities. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Addicted Saving Abel |
| Hard to believe Saving Abel are only on their debut album release. Having been together since 2004 the Mississippi five piece have become big news on the American rock scene. Following in the sound and stylistic pathways of stalwarts such as 3 Doors Down and Shinedown, Saving Abel are perhaps not reinventing the wheel in terms of genre but first single ‘Addicted’ sees them happily joining the best in the business. ‘Addicted’ mixes epic rock with that familiar southern American snarling vocal – but the key to the songs success is the massive chorus, its hooks a plenty with a hint of sordid antics that brings the classic rock fans out in force to support this track. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
