And a review in German, translated to English (from here):
For fans of one of the best albums of the 80s...
Who - like me - was born in the 60's and grew up in the 80's, could hardly avoid this album: The Hurting by Tears For Fears. The book gives exciting insights into the history of the album, its creation and the history of the band. Many, many quotes from countless interviews of the two band members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith as well as excerpts from newspaper articles put the album in context with its time and the pop world of that time. It's exciting and fascinating to read and brings back old memories. I enjoyed it very much and can only recommend it to "real" Tears For Fears - fans. However, you should know English because there is - as far as I know - no German translation. From me it gets a solid four out of five stars....
“I always compare Tears for Fears’ success to that of Herman’s Hermits. Like them, we too will be forgotten in 20 years’ time” – Roland Orzabal, 1985
Jules: The storm damaged our phone cable I'm on mobile now but will be far less online than usual... Hope this can get fixed quickly.
