Tears for Fears | Rule the World (2LP) | Vinyl

Rule the World: The Greatest Hits is Tears for Fears' 2017 compilation, gathering the British synth-pop duo's essential singles across a decades-spanning career built on the songwriting partnership of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. From “Mad World” and “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” through later reunion-era material, the collection offers a comprehensive survey of the band's evolution from post-punk-adjacent synth-pop into full arena-scale rock. This 2LP set presents a thorough introduction to one of the most enduringly popular acts to emerge from the 1980s British new wave scene.
