Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels (Mercury)

Tears For Fears have certainly come of age. Here they are again, living down their old 'wimp' tag, and singing their hearts out in a single that will certainly follow "Shout" and "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" to make this their third big hit in a row. The song is similar in style to "Shout", and probably deserves its success, but I can't help wondering where they'd be if they had any real competition in the charts. (Maureen Rice, Smash Hits, June 5, 1985)

Everything Tears For Fears do these days is tinged with gold-dust. Although the melody on their latest isn't as strong as "Shout", it'll undoubtedly grow on you as steadfastly as it climbs the charts. I'll be humming it until the next one's released. (Anne Lambert, No 1, June 15, 1985)
