765. Tears for Fears - The Seeds Of Love

"Songs from the big chair" is a classic and you can hear it today and it still feels very relevant... this album though has not aged well. I will always love the single "Sowing The Seeds Of Love", and remember the exact moment I saw the video and the first time I heard it on the radio (last day of school, half day, heading to the beach ready for summer vacation (winter here)), but the balance of it sounds like modern adult jazz. The polished recording, the soulful, gospel like backing vocals and excessive high notes plague the pop genius that lies beneath. Still, I can't part with it.
