Tears For Fears - Elemental (CD 1993)

Many years ago I loaned this album from the local library and took it back 2 weeks later disappointed and I have been left with that impression ever since...until now. I only really purchased the album to complete my TFF collection thinking that having enjoyed listening to every other TFF album that I must have missed something with this one. I was right. Elemental does not instantly hit you as being a very good album it slowly creeps up on you as you become more familiar with each song. Give it time and you will love it as I do. 'Break It Down Again' is the first song that stands out but there are many gems hidden in this album just waiting to be discovered. 'Goodnight Song', 'Cold' and 'Fish Out Of Water'(which is directed towards Curt Smith) are all execellent songs. This was the first album after the Roland Orzabal/Curt Smith split and although it is not as good as anything Roland and Curt did together it is an album that I am sure any TFF fan would enjoy.
