Article: The Best Version Of… Tears for Fears’ The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair

[feelingears]

Yes, thank you! These albums are part of my non-critical listening playlist–songs a system has to emotionally reproduce by getting out of the way. I have been a big fan of Orzabal's "solo" TFF Elemental, Raoul, and self-titled album, too. The later albums are rich, emotionally imbued compositions that make me reflect on different things with each listen. Sorry if that's damning with faint praise, but music is so personal to begin with, YMMV ("must" vary!). Thanks again for this rich history. I'll be rereading it a few times.

 

p.s., And what a great full name! Roland Jaime Orzabal de la Quintana
