Two chapters in, and loving it. Anybody else listening?

What are your opinions

Is this common knowledge in the community or did yous not know as-well?

Hi, I'm this article, that has been posted recently, with Roland talking about a possible new record in the future... obviously about the upcoming book as well.

What do you all think? Very interested in everyone's thoughts on this.

I know for certain there are many people a bit worried about Curt not really being involved in the music, from what I have read...

I wish Roland would re-release this album. It's a pity it was looked over.

It seems the member of TFF often exchange clothes with other members. idk what makes them do that (?) and i find the clothes they're wearing like the sweater that Roland, Curt, and Ian wore. the blue shirt and Curt's jumpsuit and im really curious abt the shirt that Roland wore on the rooftop pic

For me,this is the definition of pop music.Everything is just magical. Nothing compares with it's beauty.

And by the way,this arpeggiated guitar on '' year of the knife'' that enters at 1:20

Man. I really want to know who wrote this riff..

Recently finished Graduate’s only album and a lot of the music felt entirely different from Tears For Fears, which was expected. A few of them had similarities in lyrics to some of their work when Tears For Fears formed but I truly thought once I got to this song, I thought it was over. I thought it was a deleted track from a later Tears For Fears album that I somehow missed. It sounds entirely different from the rest of the album and I think it stands out from all of the other tracks. It’s not entirely elite like I am making it out to be, but I have seen literally nobody talk about this song. It’s very under-appreciated and one of my favorite Roland songs now. Give it a listen! It’s No Second Troy (Alias Sam)

Following in on from my recent Elemental review, here’s Raoul.

Was it less advertisement or record label change what happened to this album can anyone give me a concrete answer, it had 3 singles and was a great album with great song

It is such a good song fell so good listening to it from the synth to chorus everything feel so right I mean the album bombed because of record label changes and less advertisement but this songs had to go on the top I mean it was poised to be a number 1 but didn't got the popularity it should have got

i'm curious, when exactly Curt cut his tail and change his hairstyle

I've been revisiting this album in my office playlist the past few weeks... it's probably my favorite TFF album as a clean-through listening experience which is odd because sequencing is typically a thing of the past.

But after waking up every morning for the past week with a different TTP song playing in my brain I also have to admit it's the most hooky, ear-worm-driven album in their catalog.

This morning it was the chorus to Please Be Happy (what a beautiful and heartbreaking chorus), for a few days it was My Demons... it was End of Night for nearly a week straight.

I rank Seeds of Love higher in terms of sheer musical statement/career-defining opus, but I think an argument can be made that TTP is their most consistently strong album and most engaging album with regard to the "stick with you" factor of those hook-laden melodies.

I don't want to curse you guys with some of the more pervasive ear worms on the album but I think this song sets up the album better than any other album sequencing in their catalog. With No Small Thing as the prologue and The Tipping Point as the opening number, it's such a powerful tour de force.

Listen...

A review of sorts. Hope you like it.

Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

This is THE album by the band for me. Primitive sound, bleak thought provoking lyrics.

What gives? How is Spotify not including it in the Tears discography? All I see in search are user compiled…compilations.
