 Their Most Cohesive Feb 06, 2010
After listening to all their cd's to make myself a very best of, this one is the only one i kept all the songs. Energetic soulfull Rythmics with great guitar and pop bravado. Their climax as a fantastik duo. Love It...
Great Album! Mar 14, 2009
I listened to this album on my way back from college! Wow, I was pleasently surprised. This album is really great. You can see why Annie Lennox's name is still recognized in music today! All of the tracks were great and wonderful to listen to! My favorite is the 2nd track,(dont know the full title,angels). Was really good, and they sound a head of their time! You can tell that this couple is very talented at what they do. I thought it was one of the best album's I've listened to in a long time.

 Dave and Annie Doin' it for themselves Feb 08, 2007
Over the course of three albums, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart had carved a mighty impressive block of work. But for most, despite the great singles, Eurythmics were hampered by the limitations of a "new wave" sound. So when the MTV World Premiere (remember those?) debut of the video "Would I Lie To You" came on, what a shock to see Annie come out in a leather jacket as Dave coyly whispered in her ear..."just be yourself tonight"...and Annie wailed into Dave's ripping guitar chord with gale force soul.
All of a sudden, everything changed. Eurythmics had crossed the bridge from being a very interesting band to a great band. "Be Yourself Tonight" was their most ambitious album to that date; proving that the duo had more up their sleeves than previously thought. Hints of soul that dotted "Touch" and "Sweet Dreams" burst through on "There Must Be An Angel" (featuring not only Stevie Wonder on harmonica, but most of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers) in a manner that only Culture Club had even come close to. But there was no way Boy George would have ever kept up with Aretha Franklin the way that the empowerment anthem "Sisters are Doing It For Themselves" had Annie cavorting with the Queen herself. Yet at the same time, the lovely "Adrian" found Annie making a soulman out of Elvis Costello.
Even without the star power of the guests, "Be Yourself Tonight" shown bright on its own. Other, lesser heard songs like "Baby's Coming Back" and "Conditioned Soul" found Dave and Annie working the ideas found on the original albums with the addition of organic horns amidst the swirling synths. To bring the album to a rousing close, there was "Better To Have Lost In Love" which was the most human song that Lennox/Stewart had written.
If it isn't obvious that this is my favorite Eurythmics album, let me state it for the record now. One or two of the other albums may have sold better or been a shade more popular, but "Be Yourself Tonight" was the album that still holds a place in my CD collection. To me, it was the pivotal moment when Dave and Annie broke their icey veneer and really did "become themselves."

 FIVE STARS YES! Mar 21, 2006
The rating says 3 stars, although I rate it FIVE! Totally worth the money and the time I waited for the CD to arrive. The album + 6 Bonus Tracks simply rock! Annie's great in French, and I just adore "Grown up Girls" and "Tous Les Garcons...". They're both really fun songs. The ET Mixes (extended mixes) of "Sisters..." and "Would I lie to you" are amazing! Even "Conditioned Soul" LIVE is great. Never expected it to sound so good, actually. And last but not least, track 15, a cover version of "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors is super. Would definitely make any live Eurythmics concert rock...especially with an updated backgroud arrangement.
The 20 page booklet is full of excellent, never before seen photos of Annie & Dave, from that particular era. The interior of the gatefold packaging features a celestial image if Annie, as well as a her pale apparition in "It's alright", back to her "rocker chick" image as seen on the album cover. Dave looks great too...with his tough-guy image too. Throughout the booklet, Dave is decked out in leather, jeans and beard. This seems to have been a really fun era for Eurythmics, although their album "Savage" appealed to Annie the most. Overall, this is definitely one of the best Deluxe Editions of a Eurythmics CD I've purchased. Sound & Recording quality is excellent, once again. Although the song styles are eclectic, "BYT" goes together really well (including the bonus tracks). Actually, I expected this edition of the album to be a flop, considering the bonus tracks on other Eurythmics Deluxe Editions have left nothing to the imagination. I was totally wrong this time. Thank You, guys!
