#1584 Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair

80's synth-drvien pop is often described (rightly) by people (like me) as being superficial, delivering platitudes in samey packages, riding the same shallow technological tricks for cheap returns.

And well, that's mostly what this does. But it's also more inventive and expansive than you might guess: the full version of Shout really has room to breathe, and Broken and Mothers Talk doubletime out of the usual 80's stomp to get things burning.

But mostly platitudes and tricks. Just can't truck with this era 2.5/5
