The Hurting would be Tears for Fears’ most collaborative effort. Curt and Roland nearly equal each other in the lead vocal department with the opening title track featuring both as the frontmen. With each progressive album, TFF would become more and more Roland’s brainchild as he agonized over every nuance and dominated the microphone. I am hard pressed to think of any other band that featured one singer on every successful pop single, with resulting albums favoring the & singer.

The Hurting is the debut album by the British new wave band Tears for Fears. 1 on the UK Album Chart. The album contains Tears For Fears' first three hit singles – Mad World, Change, and Pale Shelter – all of which reached the Top 5 in the UK. It also contains a new version of the band’s first single, Suffer The Children, which had originally been released in 1981

The Hurting is the debut album by the British new wave band Tears for Fears.

Tears For Fears is one of my favourite bands and their debut album, "The Hurting", has a very powerful impact. If you can't believe me, just listen to the lyrics in this album  . 6 people found this helpful.
