It's a special gift for us fans, the band's legacy, and Taylor's memory. Essentially it's a concept album about loss: Each song works through grief in ways that are raw, unflinching, and devoid of cliche. Sonically this record has a lot in common with 1999's 'There is Nothing Left to Lose' (their 1st LP with Taylor on drums)- surging power pop, shoegaze, extended instrumental passages, and raw punk, with nods throughout to JAWBREAKER, SUGAR, HUM, and old FM radio faves of Taylor's like QUEEN and RUSH. that's left them perfectly equipped to face the tragic passing of their beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins head on.

This album is much darker than "Songs From the Big Chair" & it kind of sounds like a mix of early CURE, DEPECHE MODE, OMD & ULTRAVOX.

Slowly people began to realize it was a cover & "The Hurting" started to come back to life. TEARS FOR FEARS' incredible debut album from 1983 has long been overshadowed by its follow-up "Songs from the Big Chair." Back in 2002 a cover of "Mad World" from "The Hurting" was featured on the "Donnie Darko" soundtrack & it became a bit of a hit. ![]() New LP $25.99 TEARS FOR FEARS Hurting (reissue Half-speed Master) A tribute to her father and his experiences as a black man in 20th century America, this should appeal to fans of YAYA BEY, PEGGY GOU and AVALON EMERSON. The latest record from London-based JAYDA G is a rich mixture of house, R&B and disco, with her own voice brought more to the forefront. New LP $24.99 JAYDA G Guy (eco-mix Vinyl) (ltd. Marshall utilizes space perfectly here, creating uncluttered, rich atmospheres with synth pads and minimal band arrangements, bringing both his bittersweet melodies and wry lyricism to the forefront. This fourth album for Archy Marshall as KING KRULE seems to catch him drifting over his signature hazy, swamped-up sound, breaking up the guitar distortion and general reverb with more, well, space.
