I've been a fan of all kinds of music over the last few decades and I play the guitar as my main instrument gigging whenever I get the chance. I believe in giving honest and frank feedback and ratings if I'm allowed to when I'm not being censored or cancelled by AllMusic.
I'm a big Tears For Fears fan and their first 3 albums especially the first will always hold a special place in my heart and rank among my all-time favourite albums and so needless to say I really really wanted to like this album but I would be lying if I said this album comes anywhere close to the high quality of that early trilogy. A redeeming factor could be said that this is still better than the albums that followed said trilogy and is at least on par with the previous album but given the very high standards that they themselves set from the start this is a really disappointing release. Very forgettable but I guess at least for fans we'll always have "The Hurting."
