I don't like the song Sweet Dreams so I was shocked that I love the rest of the music on this album!
80's electro-pop with a dark edge. I love that the music video for the band was banned in the US for Annie Lennox being a "Transvestite" out to confuse the youths.
Weird and fine for the most part. A couple pretty good songs.
This is awful lol just way too 80s for me
Unapologetically 80s. So many great tracks on this with some concept/wacky stuff that holds up
Not for me, chief
Ahhh! Gotta love the Eurythmics. Such great music and an unbelievable voice!
It's good but there's a bit too much synth for my liking. The titular song is an obvious highlight here.
Expected to love this but it was a big miss for me.
- this was way cooler than i expected - was expecting george michael and got talking heads - wow
Not my type of music
Too 80s for me, but not terrible.
pretty ok
Not really my thing. I enjoyed the two radio hits, they seemed much more sophisticated and better produced than the rest of the album.
Childhood favourite - incredible
better than i expected. very listenable. nice word joe.
Quintessential 80’s
An old favourite, straight from the 80's. Intelligent pop. Annie Lennox voice is always incredible.
Me gusto
Besides Sweet Dreams, nothing else stands out
'80s synth crap, don't care for it.
Auch bei diesem Album ist der bekannteste Song eher untypisch dafür. A propos typisch: eine Platte aus den 80ern.
Sim
This was good but not as good as other Eurythmics albums. Obviously got an ultimate class A banger on there but one top banger does not a banging album make.
OK - obvs sweet dreams is a banger, rest is a bit meh but still fun
Had sweet dreams
Vocals and electronic music makes this one a classic.
3/5. A lot of the vibe reminds me of early Lou Reed? Some of it is really obnoxious, some is absolutely slammin'.
Easy Listening in my opinion. I enjoyed this album while I was working
80s new wave/electronic before electronic music was a thing. "Sweet Dreams are Made of These". I do like Annie Lennox a lot. this record is fine enough I guess.
Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought. I like some of the weirdness of it, it's a unique album
Solider 80er-Sound, Satellite of Love ist gut
other than sweet dreams rest is pretty weird
A pretty sweet album. I'm running out of things to say.
Loads of cool stuff here but the title track is so immense
Love them. .
Fun
Ich möchte es weder noch einmal hören, noch mich weitergehend mit dem Künstler beschäftigen, dabei kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass sie in den 80ern mit dem Sound die Popkultur der 90er eingestimmt haben. Respekt dafür, aber aus heutiger Sicht für mich nicht mehr attraktiv. Obwohl mir persönlich nur der Titelsong bekannt war. Catchy, aber kann mich nicht mehr überzeugen. One-Hit-Wonder? Ob das vielleicht ausreicht, um mit dem gesamten Album auf dieser Liste zu landen?
Didn’t enjoy this as much I thought I would have

Much better than I remember
Enjoyed it.
It's only Sweet Dreams that stands out, and to me it's a great instrumental done wrong by the vocals.
Boring and annoying
For synth-pop, it's surprisingly not terrible, even if I wouldn't ever choose to listen to it. Can we talk about the title track? Why are they torturing the pronunciation of "this" to rhyme with "disagree" and "seas," when they can just change the word to "these"? There's no antecedent anyway, so it's not like there's a grammar issue here. Just change the word, weirdos! Best track: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This [sic])
11/19 Great Synth-Pop album. Standout Tracks: Love Is A Stranger, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Jennifer, This Is The House, This City Never Sleeps
Nope.
Never did like Lennox and Stewarts work. Sounds awfully dated now.
Been a while since this list annoyed me with more FUCKEN new wave bullshit, good to see it hadn't exhausted its supply. This was even worse than usual new wave in that it wasn't even upbeat, just emo dog shit. 2/5 because it wasn't total anti-music.
