Reviews Customer Reviews for Everybody Loves A Happy Ending They're baaaack!!! Rating: Moose up your hair, break out your Members Only jacket, flip up the collar on your polo shirt, take a drag on your clove cigarette, and sip a California Cooler. Tears for Fears continues to cement their place in pop rock history. In a current era when British music is highlighting piano (Coldplay, Muse, etc.), Tears for Fears should, in part, be credited with this trend. In Everybody Loves a Happy Ending, TfF continues where they left off. ELaHE is solid, with each track being very listenable in its own right. This is their must diversified album to date but all the formats work. You can still hear the formula which brought them so much success in the '80s but this album is also fresh to the times.
Do yourself a favor and listen to the song, "Quiet Ones", with its uptempo beat, beautifully blended harmonies, and intriguing lyrics [Wake up your majesty there are thieves in the temple, picking the sunspots out of the sun]. This album is their best effort since Elemental, and in a year where R.E.M. has returned to form with Accelerate, its like reliving an era in early alternative and New Wave music. ELaHE is a great album for long time fans of TfF, but this would be a nice introductory album to the group for newbies who missed out on the prior stardom. ELaHE is an excellent album you will want to listen to repeatedly, but not quite a 5 star rating (e.g., Nirvana's Nevermind).
Customer Reviews for Everybody Loves A Happy Ending Cd Everybody Loves Happy Listening Rating: I bought this album the first day it came out in Sept. 2004. And I love it. The kind of sophistication heard on this album is hard to find these. Each song is worth listening -- there are no fillers. Each chord, each note is handled with perfection. The erudite lyrics and musicality hearken to the days of the The Hurting my other fave TFF album. I just hope they do not make us wait another 15 years for their next masterpiece.
