Tears For Fears - Mad World (Mercury)

Ooh look. Here's another one. Gardner and Smith break into a tuneless chorus of Cat Stevens' "Matthew And Son" - and it does sound like it. (Simon Hills, Record Mirror, September 18, 1982)

It's only a matter of time before this tuneful electro-duo have a hit. This may not be the one, but it does grow on you and the occasional rapid-fire brass riff pushes it along nicely. (Johnny Black, Smash Hits, September 30, 1982)
