Good or bad?

 

I think good :)

tbh i only liked 'mad world'... the rest was pretty ordinary imho

Good. I like Head Over Heels, their later stuff like Woman In Chains, Laid So Low and Break It Down Again are also good but often forgotten about.

 

I much prefer Gary Jules version of Mad World, better than TFF version IMO.

Woman in Chains is one of the worst songs ever committed to tape. Absolutely horrendous.

 

Loved Songs From The Big Chair and The Hurting to a lesser degree.

 

Really don't like The Seeds of Love album apart from the title track.

Good - Mad World, Mother's Talk, Pale Shelter, Head Over Heels

 

OK - Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule..., Change

 

Don't care for the rest

The first two albums and accompanying singles from 1981 to 1985 were good but The Seeds Of Love comeback was awful. If it wasn't Beatles pastiches (the title track) it was just bland AOR and it was far too overproduced. They left it far too long between Songs From The Big Chair in 1985 and The Seeds Of Love in 1989 and lost any impetus they had.
