NON-REMASTERED RECYCLED HITS PACKAGE WITH SUB-STANDARD AUDIO



Although this CD was released in 2001, it is simply a recycled "Tears Roll Down: Greatest Hits "82 - "92" CD with new packaging and added tracks. The tracks contained in this CD are NOT the remastered tracks made available on the remastered TFF studio albums released in 1999.



This seems to be a disturbing trend on the part of Universal: Re-packaging pre-existing, sonically inferior, greatest hits CD's with new packaging and added tracks.



All of the content of this CD exists in remastered form on the remastered TFF CD's re-released in 1999. It's a great collection of songs, but from an audio standpoint, these tracks have lowered volume and do not have the wide audio soundstage of the 1999 remasters. When A/B'd, the difference is not subtle: the remasters sound like a heavy cloth is taken off the speakers, compared to the older masters on this CD.



Once again, a big "BOOO HISSSS" to Universal, where mediocrity seems to abound!

Long Live Roland and Curt!

This is just an absolutely fantastic collection of music. Tears For Fears wrote some of the most beautuful tunes I've ever heard and this compilation puts all my favorites in one place. It is still a stunner to hear these tracks and I will never tire of songs like "Mad World", "I Believe", or "Shout".
...and the best part is, Roland and Curt are back! I found out recently that they have a new record coming (9/14/04) called "Everybody Loves A Happy Ending". Damn Right! Their 1st record back in like 15 years! It's a great to be a TFF Fan again.

Good collection from under-rated duo

Tears For Fears is the duo who crafted intelligent, tuneful pop songs back in the 1980's, riding the "new wave" sound of that era. The duo parted ways in the early 90's, and this is the first hits album to include Roland Orzabal's post breakup material recorded under the TFF name. Curt Smith has the more impressive voice, but Orzabal is also a solid vocalist, with his solo hit Break It Down Again a memorable track. This album fails to include anything from the 2nd Orzabal TFF solo album Raoul and The Kings of Spain, which had a few memorable tracks but was a commercial and chart flop. If you like Tears For Fears you might also want to get the last album and Elemental in addition to the hits collection.
