Six Degrees of ZZ Top’s Eliminator

By Andy Beta, eMusic Contributor

It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

They Say All Music Guide

Preceding the elaborate 2005 reissues of Eurythmics’ eight proper albums by a month, The Ultimate Collection narrowly trumps 1991′s Greatest Hits since it features remastered sound and a more extensive track list. While it does not contain “Don’t Ask Me Again,” opting to instead select a couple merely decent highlights from 1999′s Peace, two new (unplanned) recordings add value for any kind of fan. Bookending the disc, “I’ve Got a Life” is powerful disco-pop with Annie Lennox strongly present over a bursting multi-tiered arrangement, while the relatively low-key “Was It Just Another Affair” has more in common with late-period Everything But the Girl. Both songs pleasingly sound the way Eurythmics should sound in 2005. The rest of the disc leans toward the duo’s peak of popularity, 1985′s Be Yourself Tonight and the following year’s Revenge, while the remainder of the albums — with the exception of the unrepresented In the Garden, the debut — chime in with two or three songs each. A truly ultimate collection would contain two discs and dig deeper into some of the best album cuts, rather than rely on charting singles, but this disc will sufficiently satisfy the casual fans who just want the songs they know and love. – Andy Kellman
