The production on this album is crisp and polished, capturing the essence of 80s synth-pop while still feeling fresh and innovative.

The Hurting is a must-listen for any music lover looking to dive into the depths of human emotion through the lens of catchy hooks and infectious melodies. TEARS FOR FEARS have truly cemented themselves as legends in the world of alternative music with this timeless classic.
