Ultimately, it’s a cathartic celebration of life co-created by someone who’s survived a traumatic experience. More importantly, it shows how heartbreak, suffering and tragedy can be refashioned into transcendent art.
The Tipping Point is a joyous reminder of their one-of-a-kind partnership, and it should be celebrated by old and new fans alike.
Their first record since 2004, The Tipping Point, is clean, respectfully confident, and actually has a purpose that justifies its subtle grandiosity.
It ultimately inspires and uplifts. After the darkest hour, The Tipping Point ultimately offers euphoric melancholy after all.
This set is a classic-sounding Tears for Fears record, one that makes the listener take emotional, spiritual, and mental inventory of their inner world even as the one outside roils with trouble, violence, and madness.

Otro regreso más a la lista de vueltas fallidas. Tampoco es que se pudiera esperar mucho de un grupo que falleció desde The Seeds of Love, allá por el 1989, a tenor de los posteriores trabajos publicados. En fin, disco aburrido que no aporta nada.
