I had already heard most of the songs on the new album but I went ahead and bought it anyways. Good stuff. It seems like the logical progression from Seeds of Love, only less jazzy, and well, 15 years later with updated production standards and shit.

I just picked it up tonight. It doesn't sound like old Tears For Fears (but at least it's not mid-90s TFF!) I like it very much, a couple of the songs are dangerously catchy. Very 90s pop-ish.

This CD hasn't left my radio since I first popped it in! Where did you all buy the disc?
It seemed pretty cheep to me in the few stores that I went to, compared to the usual 18.99 price.

$9.99 at Best Buy - which isn't saying much cause I already bought at least half of the songs off of iTunes back in April while they were on there before iTunes promptly swiped 'em back off.

Indeed I am amazed to find out that you guys are all into TFF. I never thought there are actually lots of people like me who "worship" this band, really...

I used to know by heart all the lyrics of almost all their Songs from the Big Chair and got the

Finally listened to the new CD today, twice in its entirety, I think the more you listen, the more intricate it becomes, and it is intricate the first time out! Very beatle-influenced, lush, and absolutely a must have. I don't think even one song is just

Yay! Everyone likes the new record! [:D][:D]
it makes me so happy how well TFF is doing right now. I see them everywhere (rolling stone, online, etc.)! Somebody is definitely doing something right, cause I haven't seen this much Tears For Fears out there

I listened to it in its entirety again today, it was even better. The intricate detail of the music, the fullness, lushness, this is about as perfect as any pop record in a very long time. I highly recommend listening to it with a good stereo, and without

Yup, this album definitely improves with repeated listenings. It's great to see them back together.

Ok, thanks for your nice reviews guys, I informed my big bro about it and he immediately said he'll buy the CD...He's also a TFF maniac... But I'll still buy my own copy anyway- part of my collection, but of course.

I just heard the boys promoting on a radio station. They did some of the old stuff too. Got to love that! I wonder if they are getting along. They said they have worked on this cd for four years so I guess so.

For anyone who has not purchased this CD, do so now. It is really really really good.

My opinion is that it sounds like the album that the "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" single SHOULD have been on. I felt that the "Seeds Of Love" album was boring and dis
