CD Reviews

Not Very Good
RetroFan | British Columbia, Canada | 11/21/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"As a die-hard fan of this band, I would say that this is not a very good collection of their songs to start with, first off, this has the song "Phaorahs", which has it's own bussiness being on another CD and not really being on a "Best Of" CD. This CD also leaves out a few of TFF's early hits-Pale Shelter and Mad World. The way that this collection is thrown together says that it's best to buy their 1992 hits collection."
Affordable Introduction
Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 06/20/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"People seem to really dislike these 20th Century Masters "Best Of" collections, but they've been quite useful to me in that they have allowed me to (affordably) explore an artist's catalog beyond just the radio hits. I was familiar with the first four singles on this collection, but wanted to hear a bit more Tears for Fears material without committing to the full studio albums.



I think the record company nailed it perfectly with the Tears for Fears 20th Century Masters album. They picked the band's best known singles, added some deeper cuts, cleaned up the sound considerably, and presented them in a very affordable package. You get about an hour's worth (more than the typical 20th Century Masters disc) of material, including all of the band's radio hits, digitally remastered, all for about half the cost of the average CD.



The Best of Tears for Fears: the 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection is an ideal introduction to one of the 80's better pop acts. It provides a great overview of the band's catalog to the casual fan (like me). Even if you just want to get the band's biggest hits in one place, it's hard to beat this compilation in terms of price and sound quality.



NOTE: This compilation is also available in eco-friendly packaging (recycled paper sleeves and trays, liner notes posted online rather than including a CD booklet), for those who prefer a "greener" approach to CD buying.
