A musical kamikaze.......2001-10-29

It really pains me to say this but this album is not very good. With four songs on here with boring cover versions of two dynamite TFF classics Aeroplane could just come crashing down to the ground. I guess his departure from TFF really was a huge blow to his musical ability. Three of the non cover tracks are mediocre and easily forgettable. Reach Out is a good song and is the highlight of this album but you can get that on his band Mayfield's debut album. Get Roland's Tomcats Screaming Outside'. With the musical battle between Aeroplane and Tomcats Screaming Outside, Tomcats easily surpasses this one on all fronts. I,m not trying put down Curt but his band Mayfields debut is far better than Aeroplane. I definately look forward to the TFF reunion album. It will be a blast.

Whats the Point?.......2001-10-02

What is the point of this release? Two inferior TFF remakes, then four other songs that might be allright on a b-sides or demo collection. Don't bother with this when Roland Orzabal has put out "Tomcats Screaming Outside" It has become quite obvious who the the real talent of TFF was.

Yeah, and what's YOURS sound like ?????.......2001-01-12

" 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.

A good surprise.......2001-01-11

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)
