"... the sheer majesty of Tears for Fears's sound is surprisingly refreshing ... we may never hear music that sounds like this again."
- PopMatters.com
Containing two US number one singles, a number three hit (Head Over Heels) and a top 30 single (Mothers Talk), Songs From The Big Chair is one of the iconic albums of the 1980s; over 10 million copies have been sold worldwide with half of those sales coming from the US. For this album, their sophomore release, Tears For Fears wanted to open up their sound with bigger guitars and less reliance on sequencers and technology. That willingness to do something different, to expand musical horizons, created a phenomenon. This 30th anniversary reissue includes a second version of the entire album remixed by renowned musician and audio engineer Steven Wilson.
