That's how I felt when i first heard this. This is from their 2nd album and we couldn't wait for another from them after The Hurting. Did not disappoint. Women in Chains. Mad World. Sewing the Seeds of Love Everybody Wants to Rule the World Head Over Heels.
This is a perfect example of how to build a song up layer by layer as the song progresses . Amazing. I’m surprised you haven’t listened to this already.
This song was the perfect song for driving to Coronado Beach in San Diego back in the day for bonfires on Friday nights! Wind blowing through the car and this song on blast. Great song!
This whole album is absolutely flawless, and very instrumental in developing my taste of music. It’s worth a listen beginning to end. So glad you enjoyed this!
Tears for Fears are an English pop rock band formed in 80's. Their 2 biggest hits are "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" & "Shout". They had other songs such as "Mad World", "Change", "Pale Shelter", "The Way You Are", "Mothers Talk", "Head Over Heels", "I Believe", "Sowing The Seeds Of Love", "Woman In Chains" etc.
Talk about memories.... wow! I can remember listening to this album for hours! It's definitely a rabbit hole to dive into... you will not be disappointed! 🥁 🎸 🎶 🎵 🎤 🎙
This album is one of my favorites of my life, incredible album, so creative, arrangements, the voices of Roland and Curt, just a perfect album, and an eternal classic
Great CD/Album for working!! I loved listening to it while screen printing a giant stack of tshirts!! Kept everything rolling along! And if you're working with the right person...a nice sing along is a nice way to work! Turn it up!!
so many great tracks from these guys! they trip me out all the time, stunning music and bang on vocals. for a side view of them please look at woman in chains with oletta adams, simply stunning.
Great reaction, Sal! So glad you got to this. As people have said, really great band, tons of incredible songs (Pale Shelter is my fav). Also think their musicianship is low key underrated. Roland in particular is an fantastic singer and guitarist. And Curt is no slouch on that bass!! 😆 And always so well produced.
This album was huge in 1985. Besides "Shout", the other Billboard #1 from this album is "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" - which was one of the biggest hits of the year.
This is one of the songs that absolutely transports me back to the mid 1980s. It's one of the defining songs of the 80s, and you can't help but sing along with it.
I knew you'd love this song. Now you need to hear Woman in Chains from their Seeds of Love album. It is considered by engineers, one of the best mixed songs ever. And it's a total delight. Woman in Chains is the total package.
I love Tears for Fears. They were huge for a few years in the 80's. So many great songs, but I think "Woman in Chains" is my favorite. It's a masterpiece!
This is one of the greatest songs and one of the greatest bands of the 80s. "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" is as big a hit, if not better, than "Shout". Definitely a band worth diving into. This is New Wave and synth-pop. This is definitely not stadium rock. A guitar solo in and of itself is not automatically "stadium rock". The rest of the song has to be Rock. Prince had songs w guitar solos but he isn't considered as stadium rock, the way Aerosmith, Def Leppard, or Journey are.
FRom a time when songs were more than just 2 minutes loops of computer generated backing tracks with a simple vocal line on top .... the late 60s to the 90s was a great time in music ... not so much since.
If you like this one, you'll love the next track that follows it, The Working Hour. Beautifully written and played. Theres not a duffer on the whole album, very strong album.
Go right for the throat. My absolute favorite Tears for Fears song. But they have lots of great music. The Songs from the Big Chair album is 80's perfection.
Great band, great song. I loved their 1st album, and respect how much they grew as song writers over time. The "stadium rock" label, though, isn't well placed.
Plz plz plz Ignore genre category! You end up bubbling yourself into music silo that you never get out of and you end up not hear artist that just make music.

Women in Chains.
Mad World.
Sewing the Seeds of Love
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Head Over Heels.
Mad World is incredible

"Head Over Heels" and "Sowing The Seeds Of Love" are both amazing! (STSOF is basically a Beatles tribute).

Also had a beef with Wham
I saw them live for this album concert tour. When they sang this one, everybody in the palladium was singing the chorus and it was great.
Talk about memories.... wow! I can remember listening to this album for hours! It's definitely a rabbit hole to dive into... you will not be disappointed! 🥁 🎸 🎶 🎵 🎤 🎙
AMEN

Tears for fears, so good!
One of my favorite groups.
They still write and perform together.
My favorite 1980s song.
Please go down this rabbit hole
Great group, & still sound great today.

I think you’re going to love this group as much as I and so many others here did 40+ years ago.

I got to see them live at a small punk club in Houston them and the Ramones I believe it was. Obviously before they hit the charts and stardom on MTV.
Omg I just realized you're soooooo close to 100k subs!! 🎉❤
Also never noticed how long this song was... ahh 80s.
I knew you'd love this song. Now you need to hear Woman in Chains from their Seeds of Love album. It is considered by engineers, one of the best mixed songs ever. And it's a total delight. Woman in Chains is the total package.
It's truly beautiful. One of my favorite songs ever.
@@orphu88 Me too, it's really breathtaking
One of the greatest and most emotion laden recordings of all time. Stadium shmadium.

"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" -- You need to listen to that one
I still own this Vinyl, got it for Xmas my freshman year! #80sRock.

6:31 (album version)
6:00 (video version)
4:52 (single version)
3:59 (U.S. single version)
Should have seen the video
If you like this one, you'll love the next track that follows it, The Working Hour. Beautifully written and played. Theres not a duffer on the whole album, very strong album.
I'm still waiting to hear "Shout" in a SC Johnson advertisement for its laundry stain remover. No brainer, right? Love your reactions.
5:56 ❤😂❤
Another good band from that era Simple Minds.
Go right for the throat. My absolute favorite Tears for Fears song. But they have lots of great music. The Songs from the Big Chair album is 80's perfection.
By the way they are still singing. The broke up for a while but are back together.
Hey man, love your channel. Great tune to check out is “Space Junk” by Wang Chung. It was the tank scene in the first episode of The Walking Dead?
EXQUISITE I KNOW. WATCH THE VIDEO and you will see where THAT- guitar sole came from. I am 63 LOVE LOVE LOVE this song since it broke.
Great band, great song. I loved their 1st album, and respect how much they grew as song writers over time. The "stadium rock" label, though, isn't well placed.
So many good songs by these guys. Check out "Mothers Talk" a song that just doesn't get noticed anymore
I heard it during the album review, really liked it
I recommend watching the video dude, you'll get into it even more.
My senior year in HS.
TFF were legit.
Why didn’t you watch the official video?
Plz plz plz Ignore genre category! You end up bubbling yourself into music silo that you never get out of and you end up not hear artist that just make music.
Sir, you really should do Broken/Head over heels/ Broken live from the album. It's epic!
Loved your reaction here.
