Top voted comments:
"Mother is reminiscent of the song from another Police album, Be My Girl-Sally. It's also written by Summers, and is about a dude and his sex doll. It's a character song, lighthearted and fun, probably not serious (just like Mother). Mother fits on this album alongside Sting's quirky lyrics and the bouncy and fun motif the music has for the rest of the album. Synchronicity II has a great melody and is another cool story-ish song. It's a good album with consistent use of experimental ambient guitar work, and early world music influences.
P.S. Wrapped Around Your Finger is an incredible, delicate ballad. Probably my favorite from them. Like the other dude said, it's about a power struggle, but he always comes back to her, so maybe it's not such a healthy relationship, but anybody who can sing such a gorgeous melody as this one for somebody must genuinely be in love."

"Best album by the Police. Best album of 1983. Great audio quality. Great singing and drumming. I like the whole album except "Mother". Favorite song: "Wrapped Around Your Finger" Bonus track on CD:"Murder By Numbers is also very good."
- @ChrisPBacon (Rating: 95/100)

Starts strong, then has a pretty rough stretch until the final four tracks which all rock. Kind of a mixed bag in total; probably my least favorite album from The Police, but not bad.
Track picks
7. Every Breath You Take
8. King Of Pain
9. Wrapped Around Your Finger
10. Tea In The Sahara
