Tears For Fears - Songs For A Nervous Planet (Target Exclusive, Vinyl)

Love! Gorgeous packaging too!

Tears For Fears first “official” live album is a hybrid album including 4 new songs, or in the case of Target’s edition, 5!!! It’s like half an album or an EP (you can strap on bonus tracks from the last album and the last greatest hits and you have a whole album!) & an entire live concert. Those of us who saw them on their most recent tours are absolutely thrilled to have this document of the band at the top of their form and proving they are the real deal, a unique and iconic page in the history of music. The great thing about the recent tours is they basically take a bunch of songs from the last studio album and frame them with songs from their history into a truly cohesive statement. A truly remarkable feat that demonstrates their artistry. One could argue a track from Raoul or Tomcats or something from Curt’s solo or Mayfield albums would’ve truly gave us a better full career representation, but what they settled on is truly a whole. Like, it’s wonderful. I must have!

The studio tracks are decent but the live music is great, if you like Tears For Fears you should buy it.

Solid all the way through.

The band sounds amazing and it’s a great selection of songs over their entire career plus with the Target addition you get an extra track landlocked.

Once again Tears for Fears makes us think as we’re dancing to their introspective songs.
