Good comment from Roland that he is not someone you can’t touch, but they are there to connect to people

"Seeds of Love" is my nominee for greatest rock album of all time. Every track is a masterpiece, musically and lyrically.

Roland yes does have a very good speaking voice indeed ,i also find him very humble and real with his replies ..both very talented .i love there music still...i was born in 82

Listening to the Tipping Point over and over and each listening each song becomes my new favorite song. I am so inspired by TFF music. I love these men because their music has meant so much to me.

They are SO brilliant. I'm obsessed with them.

This interviewer is a big fan of TFF and can't hide his excitement and that's great but I think he should also behave like an adult. It's like watching a child have these outbursts. How can you take someone seriously after that, after he keeps interrupting what you're trying to say. The ability to ask good questions and then listen is an artform in itself.

@@Michael-xq7ns Painful. I was waiting for Curt and Roland to tell him they enjoyed watching him interview himself.

I saw them in Seattle last night, it was a spiritual experience after waiting almost 40 years to finally see them. Since last night I've been searching for countless interviews. This is going to sound weird but I stand by it: Curt Smith strikes me as an incredibly wonderful human being. A thoughtful, humble, creative, incredibly talented introvert. In my youth I saw him as "the other guy" but now that I'm in my late 40s it has completely flipped.

most good hosts speak very little. when he feels the need to be super expressive and elaborate complex ideas to the camera, he is shifting the focus of the interview to himself, which means noise. if only he could understand his own behavior from the audience's point of view, it would be a blessing

The strange thing is that they have sometimes said Broken was first, then Head over Heels was first... but since We Are Broken was released so early, I'd lean towards it being first.

such an amazing band and two incredible writers and artists!

The interviewer is spot on, when you lose something that has given you both joy and permission to cry there’s a mourning at the sense of loss. It feels personal.

Legends. Pure. To come back , after all this time, and knock it out of the park. Amazing.

Listen to the greatest hits cd to this day. An amazing and influential band.

Respect for having this interview with these legends

They made some great timeless pop songs... Elemental's a great album too after Curt left & just Roland was a part of....

I can recommend the video "Spotify Landmark: Tears for Fears" An intimate concert where they give a brief introduction to each song. You get a very good feeling of their intellect, poetic nerve and, of course, their stunning sound .....

Given the amount of promo work they have done for the album, this is a great interview, that offers fresh insight and deeper probing into their music and relationship. Yes the hosi a fan,and is very enthusiastic but I love his passion for their work and for them as individuals. He is not asking them the same mundane questions that other interviewers have. Tipping point is phenomenal it is right up there with their previous work and demonstrates musical craft/songwriting continues in a rich vein. 2nd july I see them on tour and I can"t wait.

I saw them last Thursday (7/20/23) in Denver. They are Fantastic!

Songs from the Big Chair is an all-time album and Tears for Fears have released some of the most amazing singles ever. Once Tears For Fears plays live you quickly remember how great this band is.

I thought the album would be ol’ man washed up. I was wrong. It’s brilliant.

It's hard to _not_ go into it worrying about that. But Roland has diversified well & doesn't need to do this. It wouldn't have happened unless he thought it had value.

Woman in Chains is a masterpiece. Thank you for your music. Cheers

They came to Sacramento I went to watch the show it was amazing, and incredible, I can't believe sounds exactly the same as 38 years ago, hope they come back soon

When I was 9 I used to watch these guys practice as Graduate in a small village in Wiltshire. One time I had to record a radio 1 record request for them, to play their song Mad one for my Grandmothers birthday.

@Omegaman1969

@@LeeStJohn-ym4df Look up “Mad one” by Graduate. That was the song. The song was about a car number plate dealer called Tony Hill who had the reg “ MAD 1” on his car...a Datsun 260Z 2+2. Not long after that he crashed his car into another car with the Reg starting with letters “ WAM” this led to a front page headline “ WAM gets MAD” 🤣. I think the number plate guy ( bit of a chancer) was trying to sign Graduate to his record label. When I say record label, it’s more like a home set up with maybe 6 releases under its hat...very poor ones at that. Another memorable time back then was when Frank Carson turned up to buy a personal registration, man he was funny. .

I generally don't like this interviewer because he always seems to insinuate himself into the interviews and make it about himself as well as the artists he interviews. He is smart though, and does have some good observations.

Legends they were definitely one of the best groups of the 80s great to see them back their new album is brilliant

Can't wait for the album. Counting the hours now ...

This is like watching Curt and Roland being interviewed by Steve Jobs' ghost .....

This album is really good it's definitely an addition to my collection. so glad I purchased this album.

Love this band, "Hall of Fame pls"

Tears for fears is such an amazing diverse band. What a legacy, and so great to see these guys go on. Thank God for things like Apple Music we get to know more about the art itself.

Love how they’ve matured with age

Something happened, and I am head over heels ! 👠

The first time I heard a Tears For Fears song was Mad World and it was when I saw the video for it. Suffice to say, I thought it was an amazing song. Then I heard the rest of The Hurting.. 🤯

Great band and a great new album!

Great interview. Wish I could ask questions of them too. Lifelong TFF fan and The Hurting defined my teen years. I never understood their weird relationship and why they broke up. Curt seems like a prickly personality to deal with and honestly, Roland is the bigger creative writer of the two. I have Curt’s solo records and they pale to compare to TFF, as does the TFF without Curt. They need each other and it’s so obvious. It’s nice for long time fans to see them finally appreciate what they have together. Keep it going

My most fave band. And Hall&Oates too.

'World' was the soundtrack of the '80's. Fantastic group, love to see them live someday.

Elemental came out of that......King of Spain....Head over Heels,.....Roland said it" Electronics," was a great part of the band, the music itself, then the inflections of the voices singing......P.S. why do interviewers always interupt thoughts.......

Great stuff. Waited 25 years to find this out

Good interviewer, but with him doing SO much of the talking, possibly Curt and Roland should have been asking him questions.

The new album is at the same level of their past masterpieces

Oh my god, I wish the interviewer would've just shut up and let them finish answering, too many times.

You, the interviewer, not much at all... 👎

There's a lot of marketing ploy from Universal for the band across all media now. The Big Three Labels control the entire music industry, and block out all new music. Personally I love the band, but I love the thousands of musicians in the peaceful music revolution against the Big Three more. Warner Sony Universal.

This interviewer is trying to upstage the band.

It's funny seeing all these 80s bands living normal lives like us today. Most were untouchable back then. Fans went nuts! Today..it's like "oh...hey..I know you? Where have u been all this time?" 😂

like 0001, Brasil 2022

Loved their music back then , I’ll have to listen to the brew stuff but why is Roland’s face swollen ?

Why does the DJ look so much like Steve Jobs???
