Walking Wounded by Everything But the Girl

Pros: A full-on musical experience for the mind and the body.
Cons: A bit short, with only 11 songs (2 of which are remixes).

My fundamental issue with modern-day dance music has always been the lack of actual songs. Most producer/remixes seem to be perfectly fine with the idea of creating a song that's just random percussion hits (usually using just a kick and a high-hat), ...

Pros: Three or four good and decent tracks.
Cons: A lot of mediocre offerings, repetition, synthesizers.

I’ll be the first to admit that it takes much too long for me to be exposed to various artists. For example, I first recall hearing Everything But The Girl after the single Missing made a splash on charts around the world. Little did ...

Pros: Amazing lyrics, production and song writing
Cons: Old fans wont "understand" it. A few slow but brief detours.

Everything But The Girl are probably one of the most sophisticated and alluring pop groups in recent memory. With the beautiful melancholy vocals of Tracey Thorne(whos voice is as distinct and memorable as Bjork, Tori Amos or Kate Bush) and the tight ...

Pros: Sharp, sophisticated songwriting combined with solid production values creates a career rebirth
Cons: Are you ready for EBTG as a dance duo?

With their last record, 1995's winning AMPLIFIED HEART, Benn Watt and Tracey Thorn, the smartly sophisticated duo that makes up Everything but the Girl, pushed their songwriting to a new level. AMPLIFIED HEART was by far their best album yet. Combining...

Pros: Record quality, vocals, instrement playing, the groove, almost everything
Cons: Some of the dance numbers sound like they shouldn't be

This is the second album I bought from the Bristol couple, although it's about there 10 th outing, and by now I was wondering just what's the group name about? Well for yours and my education, the name is taken from a shop near were Tracy and Ben lived...

Pros: great music
Cons: none. really !

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn - collectively known as Everything But The Girl - have a way of being very graceful in their writings. There are rarely any raw, plain lyrics, yet they can be as catchy and forceful as anything else. There are many fine EBTG...

Pros: Tracey Thorne's gorgeous vocals
Cons: may not be for hard-core electronica fans

Joining the trend of well-established artists venturing into the realm of electronica (see David Bowie's Earthling, Madonna's Ray of Light, and U2's last few albums), Everything But the Girl's "Walking Wounded" creates a delicious blend of...

Pros: The music is upbeat and the album won't fade
Cons: none

Initially, it took me what seems like ages to finally get around to buying this album after repeatedly hearing it over at a good friend's house or driving around with this CD blaring on a particularly partying night. What impressed me about this album...

Pros: All of the songs are good
Cons: Not good for heavy metal listeners

I am a big runner, and I am always looking for new music to fill tapes I can listen to on the endless runs I go on. I heard this in the background at some restaurant, and was immediately entranced by this woman's voice. I bought the CD even though I had...

Pros: Tracy Thornes lovely voice and lyrics
Cons: Can never live up to Amplifieds legacy

After being spiritualized by Amplified Heart I decided to scoop up EBTG's follow-up Walking Wounded. I'll be honest, I wasn't impressed at all at first. I may have listened to it 2 times and quickly discarded it in "the cd rack". It was...
