A masterpiece that only grows better with age. I remember loving Tears for Fears as a babby in the late 80's when they were still new and of the moment.
Songs From The Big Chair was and still is everything that New Wave/New Romanticism aspired to be, standing above even its contemporaries like Talk Talk, etc.
Everybody Wants To Rule The World is also an utterly god-tier single. The sheer atmospherics of that bridge still gives me the shivers.
