Tears For Fears-Songs From The Big Chair (1985)

Formed under the guidance of two of the finest musicians of the 1980s new wave, progressive pop, and synth-pop scenes, Tears For Fears achieved meteoric success with their debut album, "The Hurting," released in 1983. This duo, composed of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, debuted with an album brimming with controversial themes such as childhood trauma, the treatment by oppressive parents, and the emotional struggles of adolescence. The album featured standout tracks like the catchy "Mad World." But on their next full-length album, the duo showcased a more mature and reflective side with refined pieces like the poignant "Head Over Heels" and the incredibly infectious "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and "Shout," two of the most famous songs of the 1980s. Other songs, such as the complex "The Working Hour," the dark "Broken," and the nostalgic "Listen," cemented Tears For Fears as one of the most eclectic and talented bands of the 1980s. With its subsequent commercial success, this album reached number two in the UK and number one in the US, becoming a multi-platinum record with over ten million copies sold worldwide.

Tears For Fears-The Seeds Of Love (1989)

Tears For Fears has been one of the most rewarding bands in pop rock music in music history.
From the solid album "Songs From The Big Chair" published in 1985 and which contained two great songs of great commercial success such as "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", to "Everybody Loves to Happy Ending", their last album that came out in 2004 .
However, they had already harvested the honey of relative success with their first work titled "The Hurting" (1983) and several of their songs; "Mad World" and "Change".
Both works were a pop exercise with a solid base on synthesizers, with a great taste for very elaborate and high-quality compositions.
In 1989 they would edit their third job and ultimately their absolute success; "The Seeds Of Love", a much more mature and brilliant work, with sophisticated pop and a certain soulful aftertaste, with jazzy touches and beatle airs and there are even moments for the blues.
The entire album is spectacular from the initial "Woman In Chains", a delicate melody with the baton of two great protagonists as the main axis, the percussionists Manu Katche and Phil Collins and the voice of the renowned Oleta Adams, with great instrumental spaces and culminating trusses with the voices of Orzabal and Adams.
The vintage flavor to The Beatles "Sowing The Seeds Of Love", the excellent "Advice For The Young At Heart", the poetic "Swords And Knives" or the rhythmic "The Year of the Knife" is also outstanding.
The album would become a massive success selling millions of copies around the world and taking the top positions on the charts in many countries such as the United Kingdom where it would reach number one.
