Album Description
Available in:
Everybody Loves a Happy Ending is the sixth studio album by the British pop rock/new wave band Tears for Fears, released on 14 September 2004 in the US, and 7 March 2005 in the UK and Europe. It was released some nine years after the previous Tears for Fears studio album, Raoul and the Kings of Spain, and was the first album featuring both original bandmembers Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith together since 1989's The Seeds of Love.
Work on the album began in 2000, after Smith and Orzabal ended their longstanding feud. The album was originally due for release in 2003 on the Arista label, but personnel changes in the label's management (namely the departure of L.A. Reid who had signed the duo) led to the band breaking ties with the label before any music was released. The album eventually surfaced in the US in 2004 when it was released on the New Door label (a subsidiary of Universal Music), and in the UK in 2005 on the British independent label Gut Records.
According to SoundScan figures, the album had sold 99,000 copies in the US by January 2008.
User Album Review
From the grandiose Mellotron kick-off, it could only be Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, who have regrouped for the first time since 1990. Here's betting that the deciding factor was Gary Jules's understated cover of their hit Mad World.
The foundations of Everybody Loves a Happy Ending are the definitive TFF guitar-and-synth wall of sound. It's spectacular and, despite ravings such as "Frida Kahlo, you could have the power of the phoenix and the flame if you knew just how", rather heartwarming. In fact, when a trumpet heralds the chorus of Secret World, it's even regal.
All that's missing is the tunes - title track aside, the hummability factor is nil, which matters when there's a melodic back catalogue by which to judge this album.
