CD Reviews

A good surprise
Alessandro | Brazil | 01/11/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For those ones who always loved Tears For Fears and became a little disapointed with the first Smith's Album (Soul on Board), Aeroplane is really a good surprise. It seems he found his ownn stile, more acoustic, creating great songs as Reach Out. And, furher to a total acoustic version for Evereybody Wants to Rule, there's an amazing hard version for Pale Shelter, which is really fantastic, much better than the original one. This CD makes me very excited and curious about what will be the result of a TFF return. (Smith and Roland Orzabal have been working together for months for a new TFF project)"
Not Quite Taking Off

"The other half of Tears for Fears (as if you remember), Curt Smith follows up his first band record, the uneven Mayfield, with Aeroplane, an E.P. that consists of two new songs written with Mayfield's guitarist, two remixes of Mayfield songs, and versions of two classic Tears for Fears songs. The two new songs are okay, the remixes better the CD versions (especially the cheesy lounge version of "Snow Hill"), and the TFF songs are one for two. The rocked up remake of "Pale Shelter" is an embarrassment, which he makes up for with a lilting acoustic "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"."
Yeah, and what's YOURS sound like ?????

"" I come to bury Ceasar, not to praise him " Not really. While Mayfield's self-titled debut release showed Curt Smith finding his own footing both in life and in the musical world, this EP should be taken for what it is, a bridging the gap attempt to say "hey, here's where I'm heading, sort of". Loads of bands put out non-lp, between-album singles, and this is almost like that. Almost. Aeroplane is nothing special as a song, but it's Curt being Curt and works in that respect, the rest of the EP, save "where do I go?" is mostly just Curt having fun. It's only the second time I've heard a lounge version of a song and not thought it sucked. While not Kid A grounbreaking material, at least it's not sappy pap in the Backseat Boys vein."
