Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Peace, Eurythmics's first studio album in a decade, finds Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart proving the durability of their musical bond. Where their solo efforts were usually well crafted and unexciting, Peace makes clear how inspired the two can be when working together. The ballad "17 Again" is nice if overly sentimental; the reprise of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" at the end treads Sting-like ground to little appreciable effect. But songs such as "I Saved the World Today" and "Beautiful Child" vividly return to the depth of Touch and Be Yourself Tonight while updating Eurythmics's chemistry for 1999. In short, Peace is a happy surprise that will find listeners hoping for more. --Rickey Wright


CD Description

Eurythmics: Annie Lennox (vocals); Dave Stewart (guitar).Additional personnel includes: Chris Sharrock (strings); Andy Wright (keyboards, percussion, programming); Chucho Merchan, Dave Catlin-Birch (bass); Pete Lewinson, Steve Lewinson (drums); Pro Arte Orchestra Of London.After releasing 1989's WE TOO ARE ONE, Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox took a break from Eurythmics in order to pursue outside projects. During their time apart in the '90s, Lennox released two solo albums while Stewart wrote songs and produced other people, composed scores, and fronted the Spiritual Cowboys. On their first record in a decade, Eurythmics return with a collection of lush pop tracks caressed by Annie Lennox's sultry vocals flowing over Dave Stewart's enthralling studio arrangements. The mood struck on the Eurythmics' ninth studio album is one of warm, organic ambiance akin to William Orbit's work with Madonna. Songs such as the airy "17 Again" (which finds Lennox cleverly referencing their hit "Sweet Dreams") and the Burt Bacharach-flavored "I Saved the World Today" are sophisticated, unpretentious pop compositions light years beyond the band's early synth-pop work. Balancing out PEACE's sedate moments are such up-tempo tracks as the wah-wah guitar-driven "Power to the Meek" and the equally rocking "I Want It All," a track punctuated by Lennox's exuberant whoops. One of the most triumphant moments on PEACE is "Forever," a sweeping number wrapped in a George Martin-inspired orchestral arrangement straight off a late-period Beatles album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not A Fan But Loved This CD, 9 Jan 2003
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Annie and Dave are a couple of misfits that seem to connect. This CD represents some of the best I have heard from their "sensitive" side yet. A collection geared more towards the 'ballad', it releases some of the potential from this group's talent box. "17 Again" radiates with joy in an upbeat, but pop angled mode. "Beautiful Child" is one of the finest ballads I've heard in years and "Peace..." is just a calming intricate mood piece that let's you 'chill out'. "Power To The Meek" is straight out of the 'B-52's' style and if any song can be labeled as 'more' than borrowing from the Beatles, it is the great song, "Forever". Not only is the entire song Beatlesque, but the chord arrangments are nearly copied from "Across The Universe" and "Let It Be".

I could do without "I Want It All", a brash, obnoxious hard rock attempt that fails miserably. However, one of the best tracks here, "I Saved The World" is such fairy tale, lighthearted fare, that you can't help but feel all gooey inside - a great pop song. Dave doesn't stretch much, except with the use of some subtle keyboards and light handed guitar, but Annie really lets her vocal range stretch more than usual. A nice set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Annie solo=Good. Annie+Dave=Eurythmics Magic, 1 Dec 1999
By A Customer
Some have suggested that "Peace" is simply an extension of Annie Lennox's solo career, but listening to this CD, I was once again struck by what I perceive to be Dave Stewart's strongest contribution to Eurythmics: great hooks. Annie has the voice, and she can turn out some biting, clever lyrics. But alone, her songs can tend to meander without a strong chorus or musical hook for the listener to latch onto. But with Dave Stewart's tunesmithing (is that a word?) back on board, it's easy to see that old Eurythmics magic working its way back again.

Just listen to 17 Again, I Saved the World Today, Power to the Meek, Forever (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite Eurythmics songs, period), or almost any of the other songs on this CD. They'll work their way into your subconscious and before you know it, you'll find yourself singing along...and loving every minute of it.

It's good to have Eurythmics back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do yourself a favour & buy it, 30 Oct 1999
By A Customer
I've been listening to this all week and trying to figure out why I like it so much. One or two of the songs are admittedly pretty awful - e.g "Anything but Strong" and "Forever". However, that's why you can programme your CD player. The rest is wonderful, with memorable lyrics, melodies and of course, Annie Lennox's voice. The first four songs are enough reason in themselves to buy the album and keep getting better every time I listen. Other favourites at the moment are "I want it all" & 'I've tried everything' (with its chorus "Yea, you're a loser now") which, ridiculously, has brought a smile to my face every time I've heard it.. The song "Lifted" is simple and perfect.....
