It's good. It's a little world-weary, often more than a bit creepy, but still a very palatable listen. Some of the songs have dated really badly, but others like "Every Breath You Take" feel immortal.

Sting was not a happy camper during this album. But that made for some brilliant songwriting. _________________ He's the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable man.
The polished production, tepid songs and Can-style syncopated reggae rhythms bores the pants off me. 'Every Breath You Take' is one of their best songs if you like this kind of thing and exemplifies the shift away from the bands punk-new wave roots to the more sugar-sweet MOR slickness of Sting's solo work.
The pseudo-soul sentimentality of the vocals allied to the staleness of the production, reminds me of a cross between Phil Collins and Rod Stewart on a good day.
Above average, and nearly very good. The record doesn't sound as good as it should have, though, and in the end it overall seems like a record which had potential, and was sorta interesting, sorta boring.
Boooring album apart from Every Breath You Take and Miss Gradenko. Mother is interesting but after a while just starts to grate. That song about dinosaurs is one of the lamest I ever heard.
Best Track: King of Pain
This album belongs to among the "very much listened."
Not anymore listen to it, but the album as a good work of a linkage has been preserved. Somehow I feel that the Police's valuation of a 'Great Band' has fallen.
Guitarist, A. Summers for a brief time in 1968, he was a member, then known as Eric Burdon and the Animals. _________________ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNGpsnTCUXM
