CD ReviewsThe Definitive Album of 1985 RoMo37 | USA | 12/27/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first got into Tears for Fears through their #1 singles, "Shout" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"; both, coincidentally, came from the same album - "Songs from the Big Chair." Over three years later, I finally got around to buying the multi-platinum album that everybody gives 5 stars. And it's hard to disagree with what they say. The main reason why the album was (er, is) so popular is because every song evokes emotions. Instead of singing just the lyrics, Tears for Fears created each song with a unique approach that made it possible for the listener to remember it by. "Shout" has an angry tone and "Broken" conveys a pessimistic tone, for example. Some songs, like "Head over Heels", "I Believe", "Listen" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" tugs at the heart because of the masterful combination of guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, drums, sound effects, etc. that Tears for Fears compiled (not to mention the accompanying lyrics). The rest - "The Working Hour" and "Mother's Talk - offer an upbeat tempo to keep the album from slipping into a predominantly dark and moody album (though the cover says otherwise). This combination turns the album into a medley of hits, waiting to be discovered for those curious to find out what the fuss is about. Trust me, and the rest of the public opinions, this album is not only worth every penny, but also every ounce of praise that it has carried for the past 20+ years. Bravo Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. Y'all have created a masterpiece that will forever remain a classic in the music industry. -RoMo37 --December 26, 2008" SONGS FROM THE REMASTERED CHAIR Boy from the 80's | PASIG CITY Philippines | 02/20/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "the second album of roland orzabal, curt smith, ian stanley and manny elias originally released in 1985 and remastered in 1999 by mercury records could be termed as one the "greatest albums ever recorded."
the digital remastering of the album brought out the real sonic beauty of each song: crisp, crystal clear productions of perfect pop! SHOUT: their 8th single, and definitely one their best if not the best! THE WORKING HOUR: a cross between jazz, pop and new wave! EVERBODY WANTS...: the simple song that became their classic gargantuan hit all over the world! MOTHERS TALK: a song that's worth pages of psychoanalysis. listen to the instrmental at the end of the song - it's incomparable! I BELIEVE: a song about endings and new beginnings.... BROKEN: recent releases showed the many incarnations of this song, which was actually a spin-off of "head over heels." HEAD OVER HEELS: the "ballad version" of broken! LOL. the four-leaf clover of the album. LISTEN: a post-apocalyptic theme running seven minutes with only four lines! truly a genius composition. this reissue also includes remastered b-side tracks and remixes of mothers talk and shout. truly a must-have for any kid of the 80's!" |
