Negative Positive
Title: EXCELENT
Review: I never thought of Tears for Fears as Beatleseqe pop in the 80s. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was a great track, but I lumped these guys in with Duran Duran and Wham.My loss, because this album helped me discover a band I too quickly dismissed. If you did not like 80s pop, it was too easy to miss how melodiic, well-written and Beatlesqe a lot of it was.This is a melodic beatuy of an album. The songs are carefully constructed, and the bass playing could have come from Sir Paul himself.Of course, this is a modernly produced piece, and so you are never going to mistake this for the mighty John Paul Ringo and George, the Kinks, or the Left Banke. But musically, Tears For Fears has it going on, and none of the 60s bands have anything on these two in terms of creating wonderfully constructed pop.Fantastic ride.
