 Rating:  - Roland and Curt matureThis album shows the maturity and growth one would expect from artists stretching their imagination and finding new ways of expression. "Big Chair" was TFF breakthrough and opened many more doors than "The Hurting" had a few years earlier. It was only with the success of "Big Chair" that they were allowed to progress towards "The Seeds Of Love", and what a progression it was. Many have claimed this album leans more towards an adult-contemporary sound, but I beg to differ. I think it shows a maturity and growth in both Roland and Curt's songwriting. They began accompanying their already world-weary lyrics with a more sophistcated musical backdrop, and began to stretch these ideas to the limit. This is probably TFF most progressive record, with ... Read More: Rating: - A masterpiece The Seeds of Love is Tears for Fears' masterpiece. While their previous album (Songs from the Big Chair) gave the band a succession of memorable hit singles, The Seeds of Love shows Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal reaching their musical peak. Also worth noting is the inclusion of then unknown gospel singer Oleta Adams, whose soulful vocals added another great dimension to their sound. The song that everyone knows here is "Sowing the Seeds of Love", a brilliant track that may be the most complex hit single of recent times. From its Beatlesque arrangements and intelligent lyrics to the soaring vocals of both Orzabal and Smith, this, along with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Shout", is among the best songs penned in the `80s. Just as impressive ... Read More: Rating: - Not Their Best, But Better Than The RestI love Tears for Fears. I love their over production, attention to detail, overlayering of tracks, and the general feel of their music. They represent the best of the 80's, of that there is no doubt. Seeds is not their best album, but it is a spectacular blend of many styles and has an overall feeling of otherworldliness. It seems that TFF is so often forgotten by MTV and VH1 when they speak of the eighties. All the hairband trash going down at that time and then you had the beauty and thoughfulness of TFF. I personally think that Everbody Wants To Rule the World was the best video and best song of the eighties (I know it was on Big Chair). Seeds is a very complex Beatles infused outing and worth every penny to own. I just wish these two would keep creating ... Read More: Rating: - Not Quite Yer Average 80s AlbumIt was 1989, and I guess most of the thinking musicians were fed up with operatic sequencers and sunny shiny pop fodder of the second leg of that decade. The Seeds of Love definitely represents those early turning points when musicians were yearning for that 1960s organic feeling - something that the music press & critics of the late 1980s were yet to digest until alternative rock came along in 1991, and retro was back in. The fate of SOL, though commercially still successful, was akin to Simple Minds' Street Fighting Years. Music critics panned it, and labelled such works as 'pretentious', 'over-produced'. You name it. The songs on SOL are comparably less concise than TFF's two previous brilliant outings, and it demonstrates another ... Read More: Rating: - still greatThe progressive zenith, led into by The Hurting and Songs from the Big Chair, Seeds of Love is my favorite of the TFF albums. This has so many works that still hold up 20 years later. Advice for the Young at Heart is one of my all-time faves. Curt's melodic voice was really at a career peak, and married the production collaboration Roland brought, makes this a quintessential album to own. Unfortunate they would never repeat its beauty. |
