The five hundred and fiftieth album: #550 Tears For Fears - Songs from the Big Chair
That this album features both Shout and Everybody Wants To Rule the Earth says it all - anthemmy songs with a clear chorus and some memorable lines. It's catchy, but with an ominous undertone at times that feels like it reflects the state of the world at that time, with its cold war allusions. It's still got a lot of variety, with some good ballads, but on the whole it's the energy that makes it work so well.
