Tears for Fears- Review by philly

Have you guys checked it out? I just got it today and I gotta yell! I F*ING LOVE IT! I can't stop playing it. Very beatles like which is not a bad thing. We could have gotten a very good but slow and mellow cd full of ballads. We got a very good, up tempo cd. Good going guys! You are amoung the best and I LOVE IT!
Anyone else?

Have we checked out their latest release? I bought their new CD in January 2005 (I can't remember the title). I like it too and agree with the Beatles comparison. [:)]

Are you two on the hub? I'm going to try it and want to know how to get started.
But I always loved tff. It was a shame they broke up. I figured this album would be more balads but suprise its very upbeat. I'm really happy with it. I would say songs fro

I'm still a newbie and not on the Hub...yet. I really like the Seeds of Love CD. Check out their web site: http://www.tearsforfears.net/site.html
I like this quote about the new CD:

Jeez... I got all excited here for a moment, but it seems this is an old thread perhaps?
The posts are dated from yesterday though - weird! 'ELaHE' has been out a year now... am I missing something?
