Tears for Fears: The Hurting poll

really want to listen to this album right now because of this bump. yeah if i did buy this it would probably be around the fourth time for me.

How the fuck did 'Pale Shelter' win this by so much?

Blame Gary Jules

Wicked xylophones, that's how.

Nope. That's Change. Good question then.

Big interview about the Hurting here:

And a lot of the above speculation was accurate:

looking back at this, as it came up in the New Wave 80s series. i stand behind my vote of "Memories Fade." what a god damn brilliant album.

Yep. The deluxe box set is great, I particularly enjoy the sessions versions after wearing out the original LP.

Note there's lots of little details about each track on disc 2 noted in this entry: https://www.discogs.com/Tears-For-Fears-The-Hurting/release/5009064 - the biggest mistake is they used "Broken Revisited" instead of "We Are Broken".

Excellent album, although prefer the next two far more!

i re listened to this again last night. i want to change my vote to "Start of the Breakdown." i actually had a hard time deciding which side i liked better, side one has all the hits outside "Change" but side two is almost perfect. in fact when it ended i played side 1 again, something i never do.

man, the remaster makes the title track JUMP
