Tears For Fears really killed it with this album. The term comeback keeps coming up for me when I think about this band that I associate so much with the 1980's. But what does that mean? That they weren't doing anything in the 18 years since their last album? I'm sure that both band members were working on other projects and gaining the life experience needed to write the type of songs that they put on this album.
The whole thing is full of deep introspective and thoughtful songs. Songs about being true to yourself and about the complexities of life. I feel that this is one of those albums that can be listened to over and over again, and with each listening you would gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the songs. Lyrics like this tend to stand up to time,
Life is cruel, life is tough
Life is crazy, then it all turns to dust
Will you let 'em out? Will you let 'em in?
Will you ever know when it's the tipping point, the tipping point?
This song is good for remembering that you decide when things are over, a relationship, a career,
Enjoy!
