Summary: Real 80's
Comment: Okay, I was a teenager in the 80's. And I mean, the entirety of my teenage years were in the 80's. Sadly, I had no connection with my peers at the time and totally missed 80's music.
Recently, I've been trying to catch up on what other kids were listening to back then.
... but hearing this CD, I realise that this band captures the feel of the 80's to me. I'm surprised how familiar much of this disc is, considering I only learned the band's name after seeing Donnie Darko.
This is great, fun stuff.

Summary: Timeless
Comment: I grew up with all the bands, songs and music of the 80's. To not have Tears for Fears in my collection is unthinkable. Their songs are timeless, well written and well sung. Woman in Chains is a good example. And who has not heard of Everybody Wants to Rule The World? If you have not heard of Tears For Fears then give this album a try, you wont regret it. For all those that have, put this in your collection. It is a fantastic album to listen to whilst driving.

Summary: Awesome CD
Comment: The sound is really original and highly creative. I like the song "Change." I like the melody a lot. "Women in Chains" is another song with a beautiful sound. "Pale Shelter" is also another good song on this cd. It brings back the early to mid 80s where life was much simplier for a lot of people.
The music is distinct, they don't sound like any other band.

Summary: Great music, but don't go see in Concert
Comment: Their music is great and I love the sound, but they are a studio group only. Their concerts are really poor. They don't play all of their hit songs, their live mix is slightly off, they don't bring a large enough supporting band and they don't relate well to the audience at all. The biggest issue I had with them in concert (Pacific Amphitheater, CA July 2006) was their song selections. They chose to play songs that they liked and not songs that the crowd wanted to hear. They left out some big hits songs to play some other songs that were really pretty bad. Which was a surprise to me as I love their music. I give them an "A" for their music and an "F" for their concert.

Summary: The long and wining road!
Comment:
If I had to pronounce myself by one the most original bands of the eighties "Tears for fears" should be included even in the list of the most exigent hard fans of those ages.
They knew to combine the accurate balance between expression and sentiment, keeping in mind the vast audiences. So his musical balance allowed them to maintain the required presence and personality to achieve a special place among the great bands.
A must- have for any serious collector.
