Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Few people would think to match the synth-heavy Tears for Fears who lit up the '80s, to the new material on Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, the band's first since 1989. The vocals of lead singer Roland Orzabal, powered by some all-cylinders thing, still squash all traces of irony in their path, and there's a moodiness to the music, minus a lot of the old broodiness, that borders on the masterly. Yet the sound has changed completely. Old-school overproduction has fallen away in favour of real guitars, pounding pianos, and a melody-driven, Beatles-y sensibility. It's there on the title track and first single "Call Me Mellow," and only slightly eclipsed by something pleasantly Bacharach-ish on "Secret World." Everybody who loves a happy ending will find one here: Tears for Fears skirts the has-been trap impressively, translating years of experience into play-it-again, sophisticated modern pop worth paying attention to. --Tammy La Gorce
Description
First new album in almost a decade from the popular Brit synthpop duo, and the first to feature the original lineup since 1989's 'Seeds Of Love'. Inspired to reform by the huge success of the cover of their song 'Mad World' in the film 'Donnie Darko', they have produced an album that revisits theirarty, intelligent pop sound, this time with a more explicitBeatles influence than ever. Includes the single 'Closest Thing To Heaven'.
