When I heard the track "Woman in Chains" on the radio a few weeks ago it gave me goosebumps listening to it! It features the voice of Oleta Adams and the way the music and vocals build throughout the track is powerful. I absolutely loved it and had to have it so I searched on ebay to find the CD it featured on. I bought the CD "Tears Roll Down" and was not disappointed because every track on this Greatest Hits compilation is wonderful. I had forgotten what an excellent band Tears For Fears are/were and how memorable their hits are. The musical production on the CD is superb, these guys are truly talented. If you don't have this in your CD collection you don't know what you're missing! My 5 year old son is a new convert and is already singing along to it!!
Having recently watched Donnie Darko again I was remined of one of my all time favourite tracks 'Head Over Heels' and decided that I must get a CD copy of this album (this track not on soundtrack), having had it on tape previously. Tears for Fears made some really good music back in the day and this collection brings together a lot of their finest moments (and maybe a couple of some of their not so good ones!).
Having sold all my old cassette tapes , this was one item i have been having trouble to get hold of in my cd collection. If you were born in the early seventies you would of heard of the band Tears For Fears in the eighties with classic hits such as Everybody wants to rule the world, Woman in chains , Mad world and Pale shelter. This is a must have for anybody who enjoys Hit music.
A great album from a great band. Classics such as 'Woman in chains' and 'Everybody wants to rule the World'. Despite the passing of time the lyrics have not dated. Well worth adding to your CD collection.
I had (I don't know why) forgotten about this band until I saw their album on eBay. I have listened to it tonight, and rolled back the years to the eighties when I was young, in love, and thought I could rule the world. It seems like it was only yesterday - where have the years gone? I will treasure this brilliant album, and the memories it has brought flooding back to me of a momentous time in my life.
they were a very good band. The lyrics to their songs are really good. I started my cd collection years ago and I think the old bands are the best. You know you can always go on ebay and find the product you are looking for.
i loved the music way back in the 80s this is the reason why i purchased the tears for fears greatest hits cd.
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 that everybody recognizes, but nobody can name. Tears Fall Down collects all their best and adds a scattering of good album cuts. The original albums will still hold some delights after this, but they won't be required listening.
All the hits are here on this greatest hits compilation spanning from 1982 to 1992. I prefer Tears for fears earlier work and songs like 'Pale Shelter','Change' and 'Mad World' stand out on this collection and still stand the test of time some 25 years later.
After hearing a Tear for Fears song on an advert, it brought back a lot of memories of this band, this may be old songs but they're still great, and of course because you know all the words, you have the sing along at the top of your voice factor which can't be a bad thing !!!!!
