Songs From The Big Chair

I liked it well enough; I've heard some of the big ones off this album before, and the rest was good, it just hasn't stuck with me that well.

Loved this

I liked this! 3.8/5

A couple of amazing songs, but not a great album.

This became my favourite album this year so easy 5 from me. Lush and atmospheric production, strong beats. New wave music done right.

Another classic

Strong start, kinda dragged a bit in the middle but finished strong too, great album

Not exactly my usual taste, but it did a great job of cleansing my ears after Limp Bizkit. Seriously though, there are several great songs here. Also some that don’t do much for me.

10 songs in 33 minutes and it seems 10 of those are chat - which is what this album has left me with, as JC comes across relaxed enthusiastic and funny. 1. Darling Companion 2. A Boy Named Sue 3. San Quentin

The album opens with "Shout", and it's great stuff. Very dark synth, reminding me of Gary Numan or Depeche Mode. "Head over Heels" is another great song. Although I wonder my judgement is clouded with nostalgia. I first heard this song in the movie Donnie Darko, so I have good associations with it. But the rest of the album, including the most famous song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", feels quite dated and a bit "too 80s" for my taste.

This album came out in 1985 and it couldn’t feel any more 80s than it is. It has all the requisite cheesiness and instrumentation that should be expected from the peak of the 80s. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it’s undeniable. It’s one note all the way through, but it’s so catchy. How can you pass up a song like shout? It’s so cheesy and you can’t help but give it its flowers. A solid 3/5, closer to a 4 than a 2. An album I’m equally likely to praise and poke fun at. Its formula is easily picked apart and prodded at, but it’s done exceptionally. Not an album I’d really ever seek out, but also an album I think I’d reasonably defend. It really nails a specific sound I don’t love, but man it really nails that sound. The eighties are strangely missing from my musical touchstone. I can wax poetic about the sixties and seventies, but 1978-93 is sort of missing. Obviously like anybody who has heard of music I can talk to you for too long about joy division, and that’s sort of where my ear goes here. The love of reverb and chorus effects, the similar strat tones, big echoes everywhere, there are noted similarities with joy division. But, for lack of better explanation, Joy Division and Tears for Fears sat on different sides of the high school cafeteria.

The songs that were inescapable in the 80s and some filler.

80s pop throwaway booty cheeks. Never been a fan of the 80s radio stuff, and this hasn't changed my mind.

Escuche éste album completo por primera vez hace unos 5 o 6 años, y desde ese día no lo he vuelto a escuchar. Veremos que tal, pues recuerdo que me gusto pero a secas, quizas cambie de opinion, o no... Definitivamente me encanto, Mother Talk es la polla

I mean obviously an iconic album of the time shaping two of some of the biggest songs in history, but other than that it fails to capture a lot of my attention. Solid 80's album, but nothing super crazy.

Good

Couple of iconic tracks in there.

Atmospheric 80s pop rock, that picked up where the progressive rock post-script left off. Very enjoyable.

This must be what it felt like going to a club in the 60s and hearing a local band that kinda sucked but went really hard and you never forgot that

Very very good, and I really like Tears for Fears, but the non-greats here just drag down everything else ever so slightly. I want to listen to the good songs, not everything.

Not a fave for me. Voice isn’t my favorite, maybe 80s isn’t my favorite. I will say it has its own vibe.

An album that both reflects the time period and transcends it. Both fragile and staggering in its emotional sweep it feels about as near a masterpiece of grand synth pop. Like a pros album there are thematic call backs and purely instrumental flourishes that avoid cliche. I still love this album.

Everyone knows and (rightfully) loves the big three hits, but the other songs here are just as good, from the beautiful ballad "I Believe" to the African-inspired "Listen." Immaculate on the production side with a great infusion of electronic and organic instrumentation. I expected it to be good, but it easily cleared my expectations and then some.

Very good pop album, some absolute classics. Although it does happen on some songs the synth work is really lovely and adds to songs without (mostly) making this album sound that it’s from the 80s. Not perfect because sometimes on some songs it does sound dated but overall a very good album

I knew the big songs here. I was surprised by how heavy and morose the rest of the album was, in addition to the many unique instrumental elements it included. Overall an interesting listen and definitely worthy of inclusion on this list.

Was ok Will I listen to again: 40%

It's a hair from being a 5/5 for me. But it's so, so good.

314/1089 - This is a really good showcase of the technological advancements in the 80s (regarding synths and percussion) while having really catchy songs and varied tracks.

Obra de arte

5/5 for the two songs I know and love. 2/5 for the rest.

This band was huge in middle school and this was a walk down memory lane for me. Shout, Everybody Wants and especially Head over Heels were every bit as enjoyable today as it was then. The rest of the album is enjoyable but not great. Broken surprised me as a total afterthought and belonged in the bin. But the genre and style are too comfortable, too familiar. A solid album I would put on any time. 4/5

3.3. Nostalgia

Ok. I’ll give it a 3.

Enjoyed, some classics

Includes a few classics. overall a good listen

85

It was fine. Competent but boring.

favs: head over heels, everybody wants to rule the world

170620 8:38 3.5

I get fatigued by bright mixes with tons of reverb. 3 I guess? Feel pretty middle of the road about this but I didn't dislike it

the intro(s) on The Working Hour is so god damn amazing. I've returned multiple times. There's the lil string intro, then the drums, then the drums + weird horn thing, all before the intro or A progression comes in. THEN the song really starts at 1:42. Fucking nuts. So good. Everybody wants to the rule the world is a classic pop smash. Mothers Talk drums are so heavy. The outro vocal samples thing is so ahead of its time. I'm wondering if it was sampled in some rap shit. OK nope just checked whosampled and it's mostly sampled by plunderphonics artists lol that makes sense. This is right on the edge of a 4 for me but not quite. favs: the working hour, everybody wants to rule the world, mothers talk

There are some really cool moments on this record. It’s a lot proggier in moments than I expected, reminds me of later Genesis stuff. Head Over Heels/Broken is a really cool arrangement/melody. The production is dope. I don’t like Mother’s Talk, but sonically really cool stuff going on. It’s extremely 80s but very charming in that way. Rule the World is an absolute certified banger.

First album I ever owned. Hits are good - others are meh.

3.5

Early memory of listening to this. It was so different

For as tiring as it can sometimes be to get yet another 80s new-wave or synth-pop album from this generator, there are certain albums within that descriptor that just make perfect sense for being on this list. These are albums that you can't be upset to listen to because of how iconic and excellent they are, and I can't imagine arguing that this isn't one of them. Yeah, this album's excellent. Tears For Fears have got to be one of the most iconic pop acts of the 80s, right? Maybe not the most iconic, obviously, but when it comes to new-wave bands, they're near the top of the list. Songs From The Big Chair is widely regarded as their best album, and for good reason. This is a remarkably consistent album. This thing is all killer, no filler. Of course, there are obvious stand-out songs that arguably eclipse the rest of the album, but that's not to call those other songs bad. I actually really loved songs like "The Working Hour" and "I Believe." But there's a reason why "those songs" are as iconic as they are. "Shout" makes for a potent opener in the best ways possible. "Head Over Heels" is just lovely. It would easily be the best song on many other albums of this time. It's that good. But I can't say that for Songs From The Big Chair, because we have to talk about "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." This fucking song. It is, dare I say, a perfect song. The balance between the repetitions of the opening riff with the complexities of the song's musical structure work so well to create a memorable tune. The lyrical themes of power and corruption are both perfect for the 80s and also timeless. Oh yeah, the album at large has pretty great songwriting all throughout, but it's at its peak on this song. Honestly, this one song is enough for me justify giving this album as high of a score as I am, but the fact that the other songs are still quite great just confirms for me that I'm making the right call. This thing is fantastic. Light 5/5.

I've been debating on the rating for this one for a while but really shout and everybody wants to rule the world are just amazing songs that should be listened to. The rest of the albums didn't reach the same peaks for me, but was still perfectly enjoyable and good

It's diverse pop music. I liked some songs, but some bored me.

The first song! Weyyyyy!! The rest of the album is soso. I tried a few times but never made it till the end.

Superb!

literally one of the most timeless albums ever created, need i say more? this album is perfect. no notes.

This is the album I think of when I think of the genre "New Wave", it's not the best to come out of that genre, but it is a good enough representation. If I had to explain what is New Wave to my friends and family who are NOT music nerds like me, I would just play them this album.

I was excited to see this. There are some great pop songs on here. But, wow, the non-hits are incredibly mediocre. I saw one reviewer call it a perfect album, but if it's so amazing, how can the hits have 100 million+ streams each (one has 2.3 billion!), and the rest of the songs average about 7 million streams? It's clear that the hits are far, far better than the rest. Still, there are enough hits (three), and they are good enough to put this in the 4 star category. Go '80s pop! Best pop evah!

Classic new wavwe!

Better than average 80s synth rock

Has 3 bangers in Shout, EWTRTW, Head over Heels/Broken. They utilize the production of the era in a good way. Much better then say Simple Minds

Some popular songs on that album but I wasn't a fan

man i really love this album. the production is unreal and holds up so well. it sounds fucking fantastic. the songs for the most part are really catchy and terrifically written. of course, the big hits 'shout' and 'everybody wants to rule the world' are great, but i also love 'mothers talk' and 'head over heels' which are equivalently great. my only qualm with this album is that there are a few slower numbers that take a little away from the peaks, but other than that, it's a really great album.

I got this for a dollar on vinyl many years back as a lark and had no idea it was so good!

I knew more songs on here than I realised. As someone else said, this is very much a product of its era, but it's got such a moody edge to it that I really like. There's layers and layers of sound. I have to say I also really enjoy the magic 80's sax, it really works. 3.5 rounded up.

1980s synth pop can be very hit and miss, they got it right here. Lovely sounding album, very atmospheric

"And my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears." Really got into this record bc of Donnie Darko and it contributing to me being confused ab "Is this movie set in the 80s or now??". Also good memories of listening to this while reading early 80s X-Men comics and rocking lil baby Jim. This is one of those special records where half of the tracks on it are on the band's Greatest Hits (and not because the band sucked or only had one record either). I particularly love the musical journey they take us on in 'Shout', where they take 6.5 minutes to transform the song from a 100% synth record, with no organics in sight, to a heavy rock song with a bitchin solo. Always glad to have an opportunity to revisit this one. Always skip 'I Believe' though

I just complained about the amount of early 80's British synth pop. At least this one has a distinct sound to it and has held up over time, unlike some of the others.

хайпует плесень

Fun sax and acoustic 80s pop

80s slow jams

A little underwhelming. Everybody Wants to Rule the World is a 5 on its own. I feel like I am starting to repeat myself but this is really a record carries by its hits. The rest is just OK, though the closer "Listen" finishes the album on a high note. A decent album with a few very strong songs.

That was good. The singles are classic and timeless but also perfect 80s music. Never was my music, but it really is a good listen.

20/1089 хорош, звучит не устарело, хотя слышен период записи каждая песня немного затянута с инструментальными вставками, но существенным минусом это не назвать

харашо

That's exactly my music - 80s sophistication.

Oddly long songs, with unexpected instrumental interludes. But nice and nostalgic.

Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Head Over Heels are all quintessentially 80s. Unfortunately I don't think they're all-time good enough, and the rest of the album is pretty meh. So this doesn't crack above a 3.

One of the definitive synthpop albums. It's great how they combine those monumental, anthemic sounds with a strong message. I love the many layers of instrumentation coming together into this mechanical and super dense sound on Shout. It's a protest song and it definitely feels like one, has a real sense of urgency to it. The Working Hour has this insane post-apocalyptic vibe to it and a great ending, and I'm convinced EWTRTW is physically impossible to dislike. I love the industrial touches on Mothers Talk too. I Believe is a nice sounding song but doesn't really measure up to the highlights here. The ending is quite strong too, but Head Over Heels is the clear standout. 80s essential, so many bangers here.

The single and then not a lot more.

Et engelsk album så godt at man næsten synes englænderne har eksistensberettigelse på listen. Nogen af de bedste popsange fra 80'erne, men også enkelte numre (Broken!!) der lyder som noget fra David Bowies Berlin æra. Den er så god. Lige nu (fredag morgen) hælder jeg mod 4/5, men altså alt kan ske. Hvis jeg stadig har Head over Heels på hjernen i morgen tidlig må jeg nok bøje mig Slutningen på Everybody Wants to Rule the World hvor c-stykke guitaren kommer ind over den sidste linje 😭🥰😭🥰 det er så godt

Tror ikke det er min yndlings-new wave plade (Remain in Light eksisterer!) men det er min yndlings-new wave plade der ikke undskylder lidt for at være new wave. Lyder så godt

Banger ratio is high on the one.

there are some great songs on here.

Impressive. Too synthy for me to get super into it.

Dated sounding but still fresh somehow. Monster singles. This is an 80s album that truly belongs on the list!

Never realized how many great songs are on this album. 10/10

Points for great memories.

mycket bra, ambitiöst, dynamiskt, mäktigt, känslosamt.

Well. Damn. Det här var en överraskning.

One of my fav albums, so good to dig it back out for this. Undervalued today, but seminal stuff.

Good hits and then some really under done shit

I feel somewhat like Duran Duran although I find their b sides more listenable. I don't think I need a repeat listening of TFF besides the hits. 3 for great singles.

This wasn't as much as I was hoping for. The hits are great without a doubt. The rest of the album.....not so much. I think it was "I Believe" that really turned me off. 2.49 stars.

Three of these eight songs are stone-cold classics: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," "Head Over Heels," and "Shout." Any other album would be lucky to have one song as good as those. The rest of Songs from the Big Chair can't help but pale in comparison, with slow tracks that feel needlessly long (and in the case of "Listen," so very '80s). Those three songs, though.

Beautiful album! Brought me back in time and brought me back in real time, in perfect time . "Songs from the Big Chair" is a synth-pop masterpiece by Tears for Fears, released in 1985. This iconic album is a time capsule from the 80s, showcasing the band's unique sound, which blends rich and atmospheric arrangements, dense layers, huge drums, lush synths, and powerful vocals. 5/5

Uninteressant!

Starts off very strong and kinda falls off in the second half for me. I'm already not that big on the 80s sound, but I think it's done very well. Strong 3*

A full sounding record in every sense.

drago mi je da sam ovo odslušao. ima tu dobrih hitčina, ali malo predugo traju s obzirom na stil; s druge strane, zadnje dvije stvari skroz bezvezne. stoga solidna trojka

This is a really fun album. Apart from the big hits, still a solid album. Like a 3.5/5 Would listen again

Was okay. But i have had 'shout shout let it all out' stuck in my head for days

Too bad that I am a bit sick of some of these song, because how good a song may be, I will get tired of it if I have to hear it every Saturday during work, so now I associate it with those days. It still kinda slaps though.

Maybe the quintessential 80s synth-pop album. It certainly packs a lot of that new wave vibe into a pretty tight and well-produced package. It's like a perfect window into that period of music; no skips!

I always seem to get these boys and Simple Minds mixed up. I was worried that I wouldn't like this because so many of the popular 80s bands are either cheesy and dated, have that dull, deep male vocal style I can't stand, or both. This sort of falls into those categories, but also works. The songs aren't crap. They feel earnest. Sure they're overlong in places. The only song I knew here isn't one of my favourites, due to over familiarity, but the whole collection works. I'll definitely listen again.

A great soundscape with a few hits that propel this album to heights seldom reached by “pop groups”. A very accomplished album, Tears for Fears were marketed as 80’s pop idols to compete with the likes of Duran Duran and Culture Club. This album proves that they are musically far superior to the shallow offerings of their contemporaries.

I have a soft spot for a particular 80s synth sound. And on this album, Tears for Fears definitely employ some of that sound. 'Shout' especially is just cheesy pop perfection. Some of the other songs fare less well though. 'The Working Hour' is just a bit TOO dated.

This was the good kind of weird!!

Another awesome 80s album! People give music from this decade a lot of stick but I grew up during this time and I know it was sound as a pound! Seriously, a great effort from the lads.

Couple big songs otherwise just too long of an album even at 8 songs.

The album starts very strongly with "Shout" and then goes from there. It's an inevitability that most albums from the '80s sound particularly dated due to the prevalence of (by today's standards) primitive electronics and synths. Sometimes this makes an album unlistenable and sometimes it gives it charm. Tears for Fears fall into the latter. Great songwriting throughout and some all-time bangers.

got bored with it. Slow and dull.

I find all these flat-vocal 80s bands really similar and don't think any of them rank higher than the others. I always get the impression that 'you had to be there.' You can sing along with Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Shout is not new to me. Everything else was boring and failed to keep my attention. This whole genre is a write off for me personally.

I like it. Good mix ofnaongs

Может я и не прав, но чувствуется работа продюсеров. Альбом прямо поп-блокбастер.

Good stuff, lots of well known hits

Loved it! First album I ever bought too.

Didn't appreciate it enough at the time. Isn't that always the way?

Meh.

Some great songs on here, but way too much mediocrity, especially towards the end.

Just never could get into this band, decent enough but overplayed and too synth heavy.

The best of 80's synth pop. Favorite songs: "Shout", "Broken", "Head Over Heels". 4/5 Edit: I've been consistently listening to a bunch of songs from this album, so I feel like it should probably be a 5.

I've never listened to this album (49). The hits are there, but its repetitive. I guess you had to be there in 85.

It was fine

Amazing album, one of the greats.

Of course I've heard and enjoyed "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," but the rest of this holds up as well. I'm actually more familiar with this album than I first expected. Favorite track: "Shout"

An absolute massive pop album that you probably couldn't avoid if you tried. While the big singles off of this are extremely catchy and definitive ear worms, I feel they have been played to death and hard to unironically appreciate. The songs I wasn't familiar with didn't feel like they quite stood up to the rest of the album which very well might be a reflection of how massive the singles were. It's hard to pick this apart due to its massive pop culture succes but the music style really doesn't do much for me. Very much synth heavy 80's Pop and while I appreciate the success I don't necessarily love the style.

Tears for Fears was a guilty pleasure for me back when I only listened to classic rock and despised anything from the 80s. Even back then I couldn’t deny that songs like Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World were great songs. Now I can confidently say this is just an all around solid album that I need to listen to more often!

Good album, very atmospheric. shout, everybody wants to rule the world and listen are my favorites of this album. 4

Awesome album.

bangers all the way through, love how the songs flow into each other. Working Hour a standout.

No skips. Excellent album.

Shout natürlich gleich n Banger der einen wachrüttelt. Definitiv ein interessanter Sound und viele Songs die ich so von der Band noch nicht kannte. Find's super

Schöne Musik, die gute Stimmung macht, die beiden bekannten Singles sind heute immer noch zeitlos und gute Radio-Hits

Shout - Very very good opener. A tad long for what it is though. 8/10 The Working Hour - Quite the vibe. 8/10 Everybody Wants To Rule The World - One of my favourite songs a kid and it still holds the hell up. Actual banger. Love that little guitar riff in the instrumental breaks so much! 10/10 Mothers Talk - Pure 80s. Love the synthesisers on this track, and the bass too. 8/10 I Believe - :ResidentSleeper: Not my cup of tea vocally. Still solid enough to warrant a mediocre rating. 6/10 Broken - Now THIS is more like it. Raring to start with that drum fill intro, and then into solid guitar and bass work. 10/10 Head Over Heels - Love the vocals on this one! Very good, and just a general good vibe. Love the solo too! 9/10 Listen - I don’t get why it’s mostly in Spanish without much substance, but I fuck with it mostly. 7/10

I think this might be the album that most properly represents the ‘80s. 4.5/5

Such a classic.

It’s an ok album enjoyed more than I thought Last song is boring Best song everybody wants to rule the world

While i always enjoyed the radio hits, I really got into Tears for Fears in my late 20s when they reunited for the album Everybody Loves a Happy Ending. I used to think songs from the big chair was hits and filler, but now I enjoy the whole album as one consistent statement.

2/5

Nah bruv, too wet behind the ears for me

The atmosphere of these tracks is immense, for some reason I’ve never listened to this album before, but I can hear it’s influence all over so much music that I love, Nine Inch Nails being a big one. The foreshadowing of the hook from Head Over Heels in the previous track, Broken, is something I really didn’t expect. I love when this sort of thing happens in an album, it makes the act of listening to an album more rewarding than listening to individual tracks. Definitely an album I’ll be coming back to.

one of the best albums ever made ever.

Sztos album, nuff said. W jakiś sposób prosty, ale w tej prostocie tkwi prawdziwa moc. "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" i "I Believe" fantastyczne, zwłaszcza ten ostatni to dla mnie top doświadczenie.

Lata lata 80. potrafiły być głębokie i ludzkie pod swoją syntetyczną powłoką. Piękno, które wynika z wyważenia między introspekcją a przebojowością - daje poczucie bycia zagubionym w przytłaczającym świecie. Zespół inspiruje swoją sztukę (nawet nazwę) pracami Arthura Janova - ojca teorii o traumach wyniesionych z wczesnego dzieciństwa. Nawet pomysł na nazwę zespołu jest zainspirowany przez rodział o koszmarach z jego książki "The Primal Scream". “Basically, if they are allowed to be themselves in their waking hours and are allowed to let their natural crying out, then they won’t dream up monsters at night to be scared of because they can’t face the reality of being scared of their parents. (..) Since emotional stress is the central issue here, the solution... is to encourage an emotional response so intense that the years of hidden anger and hurt are allowed to surface from the depths of the unconscious.” To zabawne, że "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" stało się takim radiowym klasyczkiem, bo jest bardzo mroczne i ciężkim kawałkiem o ludzkim pragnieniu kontroli. Niemożnością kontrolowania własnego życia, co zostaje błędnie ukierunkowywne na pragnienie dominacji nad innymi. Na pewno płytka uderzyła mnie mocno przez moment życia w którym jestem, ale dla mnie to arcydzieło i mega mocne 5.

Come on. Really? Tears for Fears can’t make a list of the best albums of all time. Mind you, it’s no worse than Depeche Mode. Probably better.

Mwah, not my thing.

I just cant get through it because overplayed you know

3.5/5

The hits here are really great and the other stuff is also mostly very good, overall extremely enjoyable stuff

It would be a sacrilege to give this anything but the full 5 stars. "Shout" was massive, I remember singing it in the back of my dad's car on my way home from my grandparents house on a Friday. I appreciate them more now. The atmospheric guitar and solos are sublime. Some great tracks here, each one deserves a 5.

One of the great albums from the 80’s!

01) Shout - 10,0 02) The Working Hour - 7,0 03) Everybody Wants To Rule The World - 10,0 04) Mothers Talk - 7,5 05) I Believe - 7,0 06) Broken - 7,0 07) Head Over Heals - 7,0 08) Listen - 7,0 TOTAL: 7,81 (78/100) Current ranking: 248/712

Perfect album. One of my favorites from high school. Played it over and over.

I still love several of these songs, and I liked the woven motifs I heard. But several of the songs were snoozers.

hits were fun but the majority of the album dragged and didn't offer anything of interest

Classic 80’s synth album. They mix up the pace pretty well throughout and don’t serve up any duds. I really like the build of Broken and really enjoyed this overall. 4 stars

I really wanted to like this due to the high production values and the reputation of this album. However, I think the melodies are uninteresting or even poor, the songs are overly repetitive and don't develop enough to warrant the song lengths, and the vocals are weak. 2.5/5.0: Mixed

great songs but they werent interesting enough to warrant the 5 and 6 minute runtimes; not every song needs to be a sprawling epic.

A great way to get started, have a good amount of familiarity with these songs. Great thesis to the album that rings true today, with lots of interesting production and amazing vocals.

Never owned this album but Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Head over Heels ruled the airwaves just when I first became conscious to the concept of top 40 radio. Very cool to hear the extended versions and the whole album. Will be purchasing this vinyl pronto.

Hate the opening track, the rest of it was good. The very good songs were very good. I’m very tired. Bwaaaa

Couple of bangers on there but I just ended up irritated. Not one to have on whilst working.

I don't exactly hate new wave, my issue is that it is mostly just more of the same. Some artists managed to innovate or at least give the songs their own vibe. In contrast, all the "Songs From The Big Chair" could be played by any other 80s synth pop band and you wouldn't even realize that it is a cover version. Even the voice is always the same - or did all those bands share the same singer? Is this the definition of "Was OK at it's time but did not age very well"?

Anyone who grew up in the USA during the 80s... this is one of those albums we all have in our CD collection.

Good but not my jam

Solid stuff here. Very 80's in a great way that I love. The pop-y-ness is what prevents it from getting higher from me

Genuinely fantastic song writing an music perfection

On the whole, I enjoyed listening to this album. I recognized several of the songs as they were played on the radio and it seemed to me that there was a certain sound to the songs which made it understandable as to why they were popular. I was surprised by the song "I Believe" as it wasn't played on the radio like some of the others, and I really liked it for its difference.

This was an enjoyable listen! I knew the hits (and of course I love "Everybody Wants to Rule the World") and "Broken" into "Head Over Heels" with the reprise were the surprise standouts, but "Shout" has never worked for me and "Listen" was a weird nothing of an album closer. Best: "Head Over Heels" Worst: "Listen"

Starting this album I didn’t know that they sang Shout but I was aware they sang Everybody Wants to Rule the World. I also didn’t know what Head Over Heels was but when I listened to it I had definitely heard before. My Highlights are Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World (of course) and then Broken and Head over Heels. My lowlight is I Believe. To give some insight that I think is important for this review. I grew up in a household where my parents were always playing 80s music and so this sound is very nostalgic to me. It truly does feel like coming home and I felt myself dancing in my chair multiple times and singing along more times than I could count. To start, Shout. Its an all time great, a song that inspired thousands of covers (probably exaggerating) and I’ve listened to covers of this song in at least half a dozen different genres. It’s great and…long. Now in these reviews I have ragged on long songs but spoiler for the rest of the review only one song started to overstay its welcome but I would listen to them all. I want to add a new award for myself to give out. The Golden Track. My favorite song so far and Shout takes it. It’s so good and his voice melts into the music. It’s so good, I want to use words like euphoric but I feel like it will be overselling it. The Working Hour is next and its…good. I would even say I like it but it’s not Shout and I was just recently reminded how good that song is. BUT it has a saxophone and I’m a sucker for saxophone. The soundscape of this song is like a 10/10 for me but the vocals don’t land for me despite sounding good. Overall, I really liked it and would listen again if the mood called for it. Everybody wants to Rule the World is nearly as good as shout. It brings back memories of watching Breakfast Club and I can’t untangle it from that nostalgia and I don't want to. It does what I now realize all good Tears to Fears songs do, marry a beautiful and interesting soundscape with fantastic vocals. Mother’s Talk is an interesting song that starts in a very interesting place. It has a beat that I couldn’t help dancing to with the driving percussions and synth beats. I Believe is the low point of the album for me but it isn’t that low. It does overstay its welcome but I really liked the sound of the instrumentals in this song. Subdued but it feels like this song has a purpose and I wouldn’t skip this song immediately but I wouldn’t seek it out. Broken is a triumph. The shortest song on the album comes in and smashes you wish a great drum section to start and then the guitars come in and I’m vibing already. They keep adding more instruments and I don’t care that there aren’t vocals until the end because I’m somewhere else when this song is playing. It’s so good and I wish I had more words to describe how much I loved this song. Then comes Head Over Heels, which after the vocals came in I realized I had heard this song before. This is really really close behind Broken and honestly I think they work wonderfully as a back to back duo. That piano at the beginning just builds and builds until the guitar comes to sing along beside it. Then the drums bring us to the full sound. I sang along and then when we got to the Broken Reprisal at the end I fist bumped to myself. What a wonderful back to back set of bangers. Listen is an odd song but that starts with odd almost unsettling music and operatic moments. Again its weird but I don’t mind because I’m along the ride for this song. I want to see what they do next. Odd percussion sounds like stomps or even muffled gunshots. I have no idea what the lyrics are about. I think if I had to guess its about moving on from struggles and traumas but that is really pushing it. I wouldn’t skip this song but I do think this song is most interesting when listening quietly with your headphones on. Overall this album surprised me. I assumed Tears for Fears were a two hit wonder. But I absolutely loved this album. It makes me want to learn more about music overall so I can explain why it tickles my brain so much. I put the album on again as I wrote this and I enjoyed it more the second time. I don’t know what they did before or after this but I am floored by this selection of songs. All said and done I give it 5 out of 5 Tears.

I looked up what big chair meant and saw that it was a reference to an older movie and how a character called the chair that they sit in for therapy as “the big chair The overall theme of the album to me seems to me just experiences or different kinds of sessions or conversations one might have with their therapist or issues that they are working on. I think it shows just the way lift of ToF by having this theme while producing some generational bangers Shout, with its repeating chorus and synths wave, it’s up an equally moody and powerful anthem. Wether in your car, in a session, or at a concert, it’s an uniform g Carson call to make yourself known by shouting Working hour has goddamn wonderful sax intro and throughout. It sticks the most with the therapy theme since a session might usually be an hour with the refrain of “Find out what the fear is about”. Everybody wants to rule the world is already iconic just at the guitar intro followed by frognizible synth and increasing smoothly delivered message of world domination and control. Passing sinister over tones as a pop hit isn’t new, but this is surely might be the biggest hit to do so Mothers talk: with exploding drums and fast synth, there’s a lot of energy and I’m fascinated with the journey of the song takes me. Seemingly about war “when the weather starts to burn then you’ll know you’re in trouble” while not as well put together and smooth as last tracks it’s a welcome change “I believe”: a jazzy introspective break to all the 80s synth. “Broken “ doesn’t do too much for me. A short two minute jam that not only introduces next track but lifts the hook and some lyrics from the next one. Forgettable imo “Head over heels” my fave track. From the opening hook, it sets the tone for being completely enamored with someone, while your feelings aren’t necessarily being reciprocated. An amazing vocal performance even with the ending “la la”. Listen doesn’t reallly do much, I feel like it’s background music and while the ending refrain is nice I don’t think j I’d go back litening Overal this is an enjoyable album from to start to finish with nothing I would overtly skip, maybe end early to skip Listen. An amazing piece of introspective work well gilded with 80s pop synth scene to become timeless. The hour is up,

Neat to remember

The album was over before I realized it. I was surprised by how much instrumental music there was. In fact, if felt like there was more instrumental music than vocalized songs. Oh but I must mention the two absolute bangers on the album. I think the hits are so good, that it elevates the whole album, but the album without the hits wouldn't be somewhat unremarkable.

A quintessential 80s record. While I had already heard all of the hits, many of the deep cuts are great tunes as well. Some of the ballads don’t appeal to me as much, but it is still a wonderful record.

A few memories here.

Have to confess my bias upfront - this was a favorite album of mine when it came out, and this was the second concert I went to. So I have a real soft spot for this album. That being said, I do genuinely believe this is a phenomenal album - superbly crafted pop rock, completely captures its time without by and large feeling dated, impeccably produced with exceptional attention to detail (which unfortunately became something of a hurdle for Orzabal going forward), on the cutting edge at the time in use of technology, and very interesting in terms of the range of genres and musical ideas explored (for a pop album). I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, and will let my soft spot elevate it to a 5.

Some good songs, but the album comes off as being really dated.

Usually not a big fan of most 80's music, but I enjoyed it.

Big hair, big tunes, but too much filler.

Shout, great for a ring tone

Great album

Sounds very 80's but in a good way.

Huge for New Wave. Not my genre, though.

damn they made all these sick as songs?

Some absolute stone cold classics. Some really bad 80s sax cheese. Last two songs were great lynch pins, almost making it conceptual. Good stuff.

Singles are up there but the rest is gratuitous filler

All time favourite

Everybody Wants to Rule the World” Was Almost Left Out Yes, really. Roland Orzabal initially wasn’t too keen on the two acoustic guitar chords that would become their biggest global hit. But producer Chris Hughes insisted they give it a go. A week later, they had a shimmering masterpiece about power, corruption, and, well, world domination—with a beat perfect for driving in a convertible.

Some great songs on this

Iconical Shout!

i liked this

Well this was a throwback, it’s a proper 80s synth pop vibe. I know and like the singles from the time and Donnie Darko helped make them cool again many years later, Head Over Heels is great but shame Mad World isn’t on this one. Whilst I enjoyed it, I can’t see myself coming back here other than for the hits.

Moody and emotional style but doesn’t evoke any strong emotion for me. The 4 songs from this album that play on the radio are sufficient and I wouldn’t recommend a start to finish listen.

Hard to deny the classics on this album, enjoyed it

Solid hits. Sounds like 1984.

A wonderful, classic 80s album. Some absolute bangers on here. Head Over Heels has been in my rotation for years. Easily one of the best of the new wave bands from this era.

Classic radio jazz. Something I’d put on to fall asleep to with all the instrumental breaks and haunting voices. Favorite songs: Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World

A lot of decent tunes here

Good for the time, the 2 singles stand out but generally good

did they know they were making one of the best albums ever? Did they know they were making history?

I've not given T4F enough time in the past, but I really enjoyed this album. 4* but want to check back to see if it might actually be a 5... Edit - this has now become part of my regular rotation, and definitely deserves five stars. 9/10

This sounds like the soundtrack to a movie set in the 80s.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this record! Well I of course know songs like ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ and ‘Shout’ I kinda figured the rest would just be filler or simply fall in the shadow of those hits. Yet the whole record is het extremely delicately put together! From the lyrics to the production and instrumentals! Yes it’s heavenly 80’s coded, which sometimes feels kinda corny and clunky? Yet I have to remind myself that all the modern retro 80’s sounds are inspired by this, and that Tears for Fears have created a timeless sound of music. With heavy synths, sometimes a surprising shredding guitar, heavy toms filled drums, some trumpets and beautiful piano this thing is full! Every track feels so bombastic and huge, while also leaving spaces to built some suspension. The vocals are great and sound like something that would fit on a cure or smiths album, yet they’re so daring by going completely different sonical directions. Love this, very cool. Head Over Heels/Over, even though I knew it a little already, is probably my standout track: so delicately produced.

Well done, but not for me

Meh. Forgettable aside from the couple singles.

A great album from beginning to end. I still maintain though that Track 2 (The Working Hour) should’ve been placed further down the running order – it’s a bit too slow and jazzy, and comes too soon. I’d move it to third, followed by Everybody Wants to Rule the World – that would’ve made for a better sequence. Standout tracks: too hard to pick – it’s a cohesive album overall filled with (commercially successful) hits. A rare combo!

my favorite music as a toddler was Fruit Salad (Yummy Yummy) and Shout

The last song was super interesting to me, but mostly i just continue to realize that i am not a huge fan of this realm of music

Yeah the sounds are very "of the times" but the songwriting is insane, just crazy momentum throughout the whole thing with no boring moments or bad ideas honestly, I am pretty blown away by how much I enjoyed this, I actually liked every song wtf I always thought Shout was by Depeche Mode also, like 4.5/5 Fav song: Not sure honestly, but maybe Listen?

Some of the best songs from the 80's, but also a little dated. 7/10

A very fast 42 minutes

du du du ddu du du du du Ok, I`m in

My initial response to the band is cheesy, reverby, gated pop from the eighties, which doesn’t do much for me, but let’s see… Maybe not quite as bad as I thought. For sure, lots of cheese and reverb but some bangers on here too. A bit more variety and force than I thought but probably not going to go towards it to listen by choice after today. Maybe just edges 3.5

I liked this one a lot it's definitely going to be on my liked songs also I knew two of the the songs I've even played one of them before.

After getting through the interminable Shout, a bunch of decent tracks on here, all culminating with a resounding thud of a closer. Still, a 3-star experience.

One must draw a line somewhere in these reviews. Not everything can get the benefit of historical context. Sometimes, it is perfectly acceptable to give an honest “I don’t like this at all”. This is no disrespect to those Tears for Fears enjoyers out there. The influence of lead paint would have lingered a while after the ban

One of the only 80's band my mom played in the car growing up that I really liked. It still holds up really well. Best Song: Shout Rating: 9.0/10 Stars: 5

love love

3,5/5 Classic 80s album. Even though I’m ‘07, songs like ‘shout’, ‘everybody wants to rule the world’ and ‘head over heels’ gives me nostalgia about being in the car with my parents and sister going to school and these just blasting through the radio. I’m crazy about the saxophone part in ‘the working hour’. This isn’t the first time I’ve listened to this album in full. Like last time I enjoyed it but it wasn’t that special or edgy. I gave 3 stars in my previous review (system of a down - system of a down) bc even though I didnt fully enjoy it, I appreciated the uniqueness. This one gets 3,5 for being a classic and bringing me some nostalgia.

If 80s pop were a dart board, this might be the bullseye. The 80s tones and textures are an undeniable distraction. The affected singing, the reverb, the synth. It all gets in the way of me enjoying any redeeming qualities this band might have.

Really good flow, amazing connection between each instrument

This was great! So much so I played it three more times over a weekend. Plus I got a bunch of copy cat bands when the album ended. All in all pretty great. Some low points on it but the hits are the hits!

Some great singles from the MTV era.

It's the 80's new wave fever and... Well... Does it mean the music is good? Not really. Most of it is just horrible. But there are some good songs and albums too. The thing is that this album is not an example of this. There are two nice songs (even though I am not sure if they are actually good). As for the rest, I don't care. It is insipid and uninteresting.

Without a doubt one of the most timeless albums of the 80s, and in fact all time. The four singles alone make it a classic, but the deeper cuts display a more experimental side to the coin that are only hinted at in Mother's Talk. It's a perfect blend of melodic pop and avantgarde angular themes, with a dash of jazz and desperation...in other words, everything the "new wave" was supposed to be about. It's a perfect score regardless of the ranking system.

Great listen.

This record is sick. So damn cool. Synth pop legends. A handful of all time bangers. Shout is perfect. The guitars dont seem like they would rip but he'll yes they do. Very few tracks here that aren't worth every second. Its just so good. The vocals are great. Its the whole package. Just listen to this

dont like 80s music that much but this was hella sick

I want the synth from this album to lay me down and kiss me passionately. This music is so damn atmospheric and chill.

Memories of listening to my older Sisters Beach Boys Greatest Hits album when she went out. Knowing where she hid it! Enjoyed listening to this album again in full. At the time of its release It was a new sound which obviously made it a classic breakthrough album but for me while every track is easy on the ear only a few Beach Boys tracks in general stand out for me. “God Only Knows” being one of my all time favourites.

Back to my youth. Love the sax

It's the tracks that weren't hits that make you realise the depth of songwriting quality on this album. Apart from an excess of (obligatory in the mid 80s) Fairlight synths it's barely aged. Banger.

I love this, however I dont love it as much as I predicted I would (thanks to I Believe), I was pleasantly surprised when the final few seconds of broken became the intro to Head over Heels.

really more of a high 4 for me, but gets bonus points because I'm in a good mood

Would be perfect if the closer were Pharaohs instead of Listen. Still rounding it up.

I knew a few of the songs on here. Everybody Wants to Rule the World will always remind me of the movie Peter's Friends. This album is complex and a lot more layered than other albums of the same period. A good listen.

Some brilliant synth-pop sections here limited by its excess

This is one of the best albums of the 80s, full of genius melodies and masterful arrangements. "Head Over Heels" is a song that transcends time and emotions, such as grand song. "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" are genius singles. But also the deep cuts are fascinating, like the Robert Wyatt pastiche "I Believe" or the powerful rage of "Broken". This is one of my all-time favorite records, and nothing less than a masterpiece.

I'm 50/50 here, but it's split between either really enjoying things or really wishing I could skip a song. There are a few VERY famous songs on here, but I'm not sure anything but the hits really stands out. The harmony is cool - these guys were definitely jazz fans and adopted some pretty advanced concepts. There's really cool guitar playing, too. However, the vocals are definitely not for me, and many songs seemed one or two minutes too long ('Shout' comes across like the same ten seconds of music repeated indefinitely). Overall, a good onetime listen, but probably not revisiting.

Meh. Everybody wants to rule the world is a banger though.

Tears for Fears have written two of the greatest pop songs of all the time- Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Head Over Heels- and two others on here really grabbed my attention but unfortunately that's all. Mothers Talk and Broken really bring the goods. I wish Broken was longer but I can see it being used as a transitional piece in a live setting. 3.5/5

3.5

So 80s, but too much pop and too little rock for my taste. 3/10

More like , "songs from the overflowing port-a-potty at the state fair"

I mean, it’s fine I guess. A couple good songs, a couple of misses. Feels sparse and overproduced.

A perfect jewel of the 80s! I love this album. So many hits, but they were also doing more interesting things with synth pop than their peers. The way Broken goes right into Head Over Heels is fantastic! 5⭐️

it spunds like the 80s 2.5

Very good

who doesnt love slutty overproduced 80s pop

Deux tounes que je connaissais, le reste est correct, meilleur que ce que je pouvais espérer. Pas pour moi.

nice.

stacked album, many classics. not my vibe though

Fun album! The synthpop of the 80's really shines, and the two "huge hits" are true classics. I enjoyed the other songs as well, but overall, a solid 4.5/5 album for me.

I enjoyed the vibes and the new wave/synth genre. Songs were catchy and still on the radio today.

столько хитов! но такие 80е, сложно

No mi musica favorita, me gustan los instrumentos, pero muy lento para mi gusto

I really liked this album they had a good mix of styles, but were at the same time very consistent and noice. Solid mix of rock and like chillness. I suppose I can rate 4 stars…

The big hits are so good, and in particular Head Over Heels really holds up. Rest of the album is some pretty standard 80's brit synthpop.

Quintessential 80s right there

masterpiece

An essential 80s pop rock album. Great songs, performed wonderfully, with Everybody Wants To Rule The World, which is slowly, in my mind, becoming one of the greatest songs ever written. 5/5

Classic. One of the several albums on in my house growing up. I've always enjoyed it, usually only came back for the hits so the deeper cuts sounded fresh this time. I never really fell in love with this the way I have for other 5/5 albums and I think its because it lacks a little soul. "Shout" never makes me want to shout - by comparison listen to Shout by the Isley Bros. This is not a soul album, but it does lack something. Head Over Heels is the exception - that one gives me chills.

Sean has been trying to convince me tears for fears is cool since like 7th grade. I never actually sat down and listened to them until now. While none of the non-hits really grabbed me, everybody wants to rule the world and head over heels are so fucking good they make this a 4 on their own. At times borders on being over produced but the songwriting and Melodies shine through so it only occasionally gets bogged down with self-indulgent 80s synth madness

From my personal 1001 album stats, the 1980s are my least favorite decade hovering just above the 3.10 mark while the 60s/70s decades are nearly at 4.00. One of the things that makes me hate this decade is that it brought a lot of technology-enriched shit that was too raw/early/tasteless to age well. But. This album somehow did it all so well. Its grand, its clean, its catchy, weird, occasionally scary. These songs are great and are sequenced well with many surprises Big recommendation you check out the Strong Songs podcast episode on Everybody Wants To Rule The World. Thanks goes to Pat

I had always thought of Tears for Fears as a total cheese fest - and they kind of are - but it holds up so well. I honestly could not have matched the band name to the songs before this, despite knowing three of these really well. Has a bit of a prog rock vibe to it at times - kind of hilarious how long they milk Shout. 6 minutes! Mothers Talk stands out as a new one to me. I wanted to see how these guys translated live, and watched a bit of this more recent performance - pretty cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roE7-lECtOs The song at the end of the video "Sowing the Seeds of Love" has Beatles "Carry That Weight" vibes, not a sound I would have expected from these guys. Interested to hear more.

shout, everybody wants to rule the world, head over heels all on this album!

Love this album. Favorite song was The Working Hour. My mom LOVED Tears for Fears as a teenager so I listened to quite a bit of this growing up, and I gotta say it doesn't get old.

I didn't know who Tears For Fears were but I've loved their music for years. This album was a great listen, Soulful, great vocals, great lyricism, some of the great songs ever made in tracks like shout and everybody wants to rule the world. Gonna bust out a rare but well deserved 5er on this one.

Some iconic bangers in here, but the rest of the album doesn't do much for me. Shout, Head Over Heels, Everybody Wants to Rule The World are all I ever need to hear again from this one.

I was expecting more from this as a whole tbh. Every song was just a bit longer and more repetitive than I wanted it to be, even some of the hits like Shout. Head Over Heels is so so good and the lead in from the song before was clean.

This album is unfair & frustrating because it is so good. It gets its hooks in you but those hooks drag a bit. That really is my only complaint of the album is: the songs tend to drag on & needs an edit. I found this to be a lovely surprise though it very much is a product of its time in a good way. 4

Certainly one of the quintessential 80s albums. Everybody knows the first track, but the rest is great as well. No track wasted and a proper classic.

I was all ready to be cynical about this one as I didn't remember much about it from my last listen. But Shout got me out of bed and Everybody wants to rule the world is a banger. The rest of it seemed pretty derivative and bland though.

It was kinda boring, though I've never been a huge fan of this kinda 80s stuff. I did like the song that sounded like it should be in 'Commando' and the one that sounded like it should be in 'Miami Vice'. Not sure if putting a song with a 4 minute sax soundscape as the second track on the album was a great idea.

Started well but the slushy songs were annoying. Also didn't enjoy the sax. Was excited for this one but found it disappointing.

Evocative. Miserable. Enjoyable. An emptiness in the sound that feels intentional and like a grey 80s day on a boarded up highstreet with towerblocks. Swishy synth sounds. Drained vocals. The hits are songs I have played and heard a million times. I mostly kinda enjoyed the rest but also felt a bit weighed down. I liked the abstract number at the end, which I hadn't heard before.

Holds up. I would happily indulge in this, only just not quite a 5 for me but close. Not completely scratching that itch.

Excellent !!!

First off, I inexplicably confuse Tears for Fears with Faith No More, not musically obviously, just the names. I'll never understand and neither will you. This album feels big. Atmospheric. "Shout" as the opener is huge. I feel like every genre deserves to have a five, this might be the one. Also "Head Over Heels" pops into my head for no reason all of the time, it's a beautiful lil earworm.

Eu gosto muito dos singles desse álbum, mas não tinha chegado a ouvir o álbum ainda. Além de Everybody Wants To Rule The World e Shout, gostei muito da viradinha Broken e Head Over Heels e Broken(Live).

I came across a YouTube video the other day of one of the Tears for Fears guys playing Head Over Heels solo on the piano. I realized that it's a really good song, at its core. I think that applies to a few songs on this record - the hits and maybe a few others - but it can be hard to hear it through the din of the very-80s production. I did enjoy the nostalgic trip of listening to Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, etc, but much of this album had me bored to tears. (Hey oh!)

I had hoped 35 or 40 years distance would give me a new, more positive perspective on this band. It did not. File under: crap, easy listening. But, there's a couple okay songs that, at a minimum, play a significant role in my memories of high school. So.... I guess 3 stars.

2/5 - I didn’t need to hear this. I have no nostalgia for it, and never liked Shout or Head Over Heels on the radio. I do love EWTRTW, but that’s a really easy one to like. I know this album gets a lot of love, but it’s not for me.

I listened to this a ton, probably high 3, maybe low 4. Shout is a lil meh for me but overall super cohesive record

It wasn’t that great only really liked head over heels

9/10

I, of course, already knew about Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and I really love those songs already. Most of the rest of this album I hadn't heard before, but I loved it. The Working Hour is SO good. I didn't realize Head Over Heels was this band. Great album overall!

Sounds good. It just sounds kinda abstract

What can I say that hasn't been said? It's one of the greatest pop albums of all time. The production and lyrical content are some of the best ever and the sophistication of synth pop at its highest; it still has a dark edge that their debut had, but now with a more approachable set.

Fun; big sound; great melodies and performances. Some of the best 80s pop around.

I’m really familiar with the singles on this album, but I’ve been meaning to listen to the whole thing for seemingly decades, and I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Everybody Wants to Rule the World just might be the best song of the 1980’s, but I particularly love the way the last four songs on the album fade into one another and share similar motifs. Of all the albums I’ve gotten up to this point this by far the one that excited me to get.

This was decent. There are a couple of hits on here, and they were great. The rest of the album falls into the "decent and forgettable" category. Favourite Track(s): Everybody Wants To Rule The World Least Favourite Track(s): I Believe, Broken, Listen

I really enjoyed the first 3 tracks. It made me think that, while most music of the era was packaged in that 80s pop sheen, there was still plenty of strong, substantial songwriting happening within those confines. Admittedly the next two tracks did lean *too* heavily on the dubious production tropes of the decade (at both the dance-y and the ballad-y ends of the spectrum) for my liking, but things picked up again after that. 3.5, rounded up.

Incredible production on this one - the way they double and triple one person's vocals to make them sound huge is unprecedented genius, and the way the two voices harmonize or complement one another to create one Super Voice is impressive. I also had no idea how solid the musicianship was on this record. The drums, keys, guitar, even the sax rocked all of my socks. Not every track is a banger, but 5 out of 8 (for me) is a solid effort, and the surprises were delightful.

Absolutely no sophomore jinx here. Three monster worldwide hits (Head Over Heels, Shout and Everyone Wants to Rule the World).

Fantastic

Музыка: 9/10 Разнообразие: 10/10 Тематика и вайб: 10/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 8/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 9/10 Итог: 9.2

The deep tracks are great and create a start to finish listening experience. Weakest track is the last

Classic

Toch wel wat klassiekers ander dat ik op de naam zou kunnen komen

- Aangenaam 👍 - 2 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM

This was one of those albums with fun bangers mixed in between boring tunes. Still a lot of it made me want to move on a Saturday morning, so rounding up from what would probably be 3.5

Nice

No Need to SHOUT
