The Seeds of Love

Tears for Fears

A maximalist masterpiece of soul-infused art pop. Meticulously layered, Beatles-inspired, and emotionally expansive, it trades synths for organic, widescreen grandeur.

September 19, 1989 · Fontana

A grand, spiritually-charged journey from internal struggle to outward hope and social awakening.
