Synopsis

Album Description

Possibly the kitschiest band of the '80s (as Joy Division was for the '70s), Tears for Fears turned out a small treasury of well-crafted songs during their heyday and helped to define a genre. This 2 CD set features 24 total tracks, with 12 tracks on each disc including 'Advice For The Young At Heart', 'Change', 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World', 'Head Over Heels', 'I Believe', 'Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)', 'Mad World', 'Mothers Talk', 'Pale Shelter', 'Shout', 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love' & 'Woman In Chains'. Also included is a bonus DVD (PAL/Region 0) that includes a mixture of 12 tracks from discs 1 & 2 including 'Shout', 'Pale Shelder', 'Sowing The Seeds Of Love', 'Mothers Talk', 'Mad World', 'Head Over Heels' and more. Universal. 2005.

CD Reviews

Excellent Remastering On DVD | Fair Remastering On CD

Jason W. Bellenger | Byron Center, Michigan, USA | 03/26/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Ah yes, another Tears For Fears compilation. This time Universal decided to give the guys a nice 'Deluxe Sound + Vision' package. Instead of giving the 2 CDs in this package a fresh, updated remastering Univeral has decided to go the cheap way (again) and throw some random masters on there - some of which are poor to fair and others which are good to excellent. This is most evident on disc 1 in which the 'Seeds Of Love' tracks sound much clearer than the earlier tracks. However, when I throw in disc 2 it's a different story. "Memories Fade" - the first track on the disc - sounds bright and crisp - and it's from 1983! What happened here? An accidental mix-up of good masters in favor of bad ones in this case?

The DVD, on the other hand, is excellent! It features not only a remastered soundtrack but also DTS 5.1 audio (which I haven't had the chance to experience yet). Nonetheless, the original stereo mix sounds fantastic. I'm just wondering why Univeral didn't bother to apply this same mix to the CD versions. I guess they just wanted to take the cheap way out yet again.

Overall, I'll be generous and give it a solid 3-star rating, mainly for the DVD. I just wish more care was given to the audio on the CDs. Perhaps on the next reissue?"
