Eurythmics: Savage [RCA Victor, 1987]
Beethoven-lover as Neiman-Marcus girl, trans-Asiatic jilt, real live pseudoferal yowl announcing the cock-crazy "I Need a Man," synthesized pseudorathskeller clink-and-chatter punctuating the sarcasm-crazy "I Need You"--this record peaks so high that I tried to ignore all the in-between. It's there, though--medium tempo romantic-as-in-movement pseudoschlock, edgier than their worst but not so's it cuts much ice. B+
