Customer Reviews Awesome CD I like the song "Change. The sound is really original and highly creative. " I like the melody a lot. "Women in Chains" is another song with a beautiful sound. "Pale Shelter" is also another good song on this cd. It brings back the early to mid 80s where life was much simplier for a lot of people. The music is distinct, they don't sound like any other band. . Great music, but don't go see in Concert Their concerts are really poor. Their music is great and I love the sound, but they are a studio group only. They don't play all of their hit songs, their live mix is slightly off, they don't bring a large enough supporting band and they don't relate well to the audience at all. The biggest issue I had with them in concert (Pacific Amphitheater, CA July 2006) was their song selections. They chose to play songs that they liked and not songs that the crowd wanted to hear. They left out some big hits songs to play some other songs that were really pretty bad. Which was a surprise to me as I love their music. I give them an "A" for their music and an "F" for their concert. The long and wining road! They knew to combine the accurate balance between expression and sentiment, keeping in mind the vast audiences. If I had to pronounce myself by one the most original bands of the eighties "Tears for fears" should be included even in the list of the most exigent hard fans of those ages. So his musical balance allowed them to maintain the required presence and personality to achieve a special place among the great bands. A must- have for any serious collector. . .
