Holy shit

Dear God is a good song

I have a theory that Tears for Fears wanted desperately to be XTC

If you like that, you'd like The The

Singer kinda looks like Bob Mould

by the time you "get" one band, I've already listened to 6 other bands

>>74146302
They're a pop band there's literally nothing to "get"?

Sacrificial Bonfire is the best song (of all time). Fight me.

you'd love their actual 60s/brian wilson tribute album then

>>74147751
nah I prefer

fa fa fa fa fa ta ta taaaa~
don't need another sa-tell-liiite

Why I liked their rock albums but couldn't get into their post-punk/new wave ones? Was it proto-autism?

it's fine but the production makes everything sound so fucking corny at times

english settlement is way better

Fun fact if you like xtc you automatically like oingo boingo

>>74148443
He can't.

>>74146656
Perhaps the music itself...

>>74146111
XTC is good but Dear God is basically r/atheism. i cant get past the lyrics.

>>74148443
theyre more complicated than most bands
listen to easter theatre

>>74146087
this is the gayest sounding album i've ever heard. This album makes xiu xiu sound like burzum

>>74150699
>can't get past the lyrics
actually caring about lyrics

>>74148312
*tips fedora*

>>74148443
They are a little deeper than your average pop band. One of them won't perform so they've been a studio band since the early '80s. Hardly pop icons. I suggest you listen to a song like "This World Over." Lyrically amazing stuff.

>>74150720
black metal is pretty gay to be honest

English Settlement is their best album.

>>74150846
This. I don't know why it isn't considered one of the best albums ever.

Drums And Wires is better
