I must say that back in 1989 when this "their last" album came out it was a bit of a let down for me at first because I thought it was a bit too mainstream a sound for that eclectic technic popact that brought us the wonderfully original'n weird "Savage"- and "Touch"album.Now that I have become wiser and milder (as smart folks do when they get older)I accept the album for what it is, a melancholy white soul album with very overtly personal lyrics this time and no "personifications". If you want to know how Dave and Annie felt at that particular time:" Bitter sweet and blue" And with that flavour it was a welcome prelude to the staggering "Diva" album.Already immaculately produced by Dave S. back in the day (he went on to give his crystal clear production skills to great voices like Sinead O. and Anastacia); now remastered with the most unmissable bonustracks (It was them I heard at a friends house and I knew I had to have 'em!)of all the recent remasters, especially the choir version of "Angel"; if you want to give your Christmas an original soundtrack.(And if one holiday is in dire need of such...)

I was a big Eurythmics fan back in the 1980's, but never felt this album was on a par with the previous work. As has been noted elsewhere, there is an air of melancholy through the album, but I just feel the overall quality of the tracks is just not there. Perhaps by this time, the professional relationship having nearly run its course, the spark was gone - the polish is there, the heart isn't.
Having said all that, its a decent piece of work, and the new remastered edition adds nicely to the original, nice bonus tracks.For Eurythmics at their peak, look elsewhere.

After dominating the decade with their sublime music, 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.
The album has now been substantially enhanced with bonus tracks and deluxe packaging that includes a booklet with previously unreleased photographs and historical notes.
Of the additional tracks, my favorites are their interpretation of The Smiths' Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me, the dance remix of The King And Queen Of America and the soulful Angel (Choir Version). This enhanced album is absolutely essential for Eurythmics fans.
