Our Review

A volatile combination of three distinctive artists, the Police accomplished much in their brief but productive career. Their finest moment was their final one: 1983's Synchronicity, is as satisfying a farewell album as any rock band has made. While musical sophistication was always their strong suit, the trio outdid themselves on these far-ranging, imaginatively executed tracks. Drummer Stewart Copeland's rhythmic complexity brings convulsive fire to "Synchronicity II." The jazz-seasoned virtuosity of guitarist Andy Summers achieves tautly drawn urgency on "King of Pain," and seductive heat on "Wrapped Around Your Finger." Sting's always-evocative vocals are infused with passion and drama, and his songwriting touches perfection - the simmering elegance of "Every Breath You Take" may still be his finest moment as a composer. The talents of all three Police members intermesh flawlessly throughout, playing with a smooth finish that doesn't obscure the music's quirkier edges. Synchronicity concluded the Police's now-legendary career with a genuine blaze of glory.

A Rock Masterpiece (give "Mother" a chance!) (5 stars)
I was 7 years old, and it was 1983. I remember getting a cassette of this album when it first came out as a gift. And what a gift it was. The first I had ever heard of The Police was "Every Breath You Take." That song alone stands, and will always stand, as one of the greatest songs ever written. Its essence of control and paranoia in the Reagan era was brilliantly disguised as a love song. But it is the tip of this iceberg of crea

Even Better As A Whole (5 stars)
Many of these tracks went on to be top singles and are played countless times a day on radio all over the country, but I think this is best heard as a whole album. It gets kicking with Synchronicity 1 and gets better from there. Even an overplayed song like Every Breath You Take (which sounds banal and trite to me on the radio mixed in with dozens of other silly love songs) really shines in the context of the rest of the songs around it. I

It's the Police (It's a crime if you don't own this) (5 stars)
This is an excellent album- and it's not even my favorite Police record. It's still great, and a definite classic. Check out both "Synchronicity"s or "Miss Gradenko" for good solid, exciting rock, or "Murder by #s", "King of Pain", and "Every Breath You Take" for darker, quirkier stuff that still, as always, tremendous. Reunion, please?

Genre: Rock
Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All three members were considerably more technically proficient than the average punk or new wave band. Andy Summers had a precise guitar attack that created dense, interlocking waves of sounds and effects. Stewart Copeland could play polyrhythms effortlessly. And Sting, with his high, keening voice, was capable of constructing...
