Editorial Reviews

Product Description

French only pressing of the 2007 solo album from the Tears For Fears bassist/vocalist adds the bonus track 'Seven Of Sundays' (French Duet Version/Single Edit). Although bandmate Roland Orzabal may have been TFF's main songwriter, Smith's lead vocals on tracks like 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World', 'Mad World', 'Advice For The Young At Heart', 'Pale Shelter' and 'Change' helped solidify their success. Musically, Halfway Pleased continues in the tradition of Curt's Mayfield project and TFF's 2004 'reunion' album, Everybody Loves A Happy Ending, which was their most accomplished album to date. Curt Smith remains an enormous talent more than 25 years after he entered the music business. XIII Bis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Awaited, But DEFINITELY Worth the Wait!!!, September 6, 2007
This CD is AWESOME! Curt's latest solo effort is an amazing mix of styles and even languages! Written prior to his reunion with Roland Orzabal and their Everybody Loves A Happy Ending CD (Tears For Fears) it's release was pushed back to accomodate an amazing TFF tour. While all of the tracks showcase Curt's lyrical and lush (yet understated) voice, Seven of Sundays, Snow Hill and Halfway Pleased show it off best. Snow Hill is a live version that was recorded during TFF's 2004 tour. Seven of Sundays also has a duet version with French singer SO. A video of it is available on Curt's myspace page, or at [...] and is an incredibly sensous version. A few are "re-do's" of older solo songs - Snow Hill was on the Mayfield (a group he and Charlton Pettus started) and Aeorplane CD's; Aeroplane and Where Do I Go? were all covered on the Aeroplane CD; and Who You Are was also on the TFF CD Everybody Loves A Happy Ending, in a slightly different version. I will admit that I have been a TFF and more importantly a Curt fan for more years than I care to admit, but his voice is incredible and the songs are deep, thought provoking and total "ear-candy"! I completely recommend this to anyone who has even an inkling of musical taste.

4.0 out of 5 stars Halfway Pleased, October 13, 2007
By Douglas A. Adashefski (Downey, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very quiet, serene album from Curt Smith. It should be enjoyable to any true Tears for Fears fans. One can hear Curt's influence in many TFF songs through his solo endeavors.
