A great album, I remember it well.

My favorite Police album was the next one from 1981, "Ghost In The Machine." That was The Police at their peak. Did not like "Synchronicity" at all even though it was their best selling (and last) album.

Perhaps slightly over produced, but solid from the start, until you get to Behind My Camel, and we know what is behind every camel.

I like their tunes when it ain’t reggae. Not a fan.

Very much a fan of Copeland’s drumming. Unlike a lot of rock drummers, including some highly-rated ones, Copeland tended not to turn his cymbals into a huge slurry mess. You can hear the brass with his drumming. But that’s just one part of what makes him a very good drummer, and I can listen to his drumming all day without fatigue.

I hate a lot of bands. The Police are in my top five most hated.

I liked their first two albums much more. I was a huge fan of the Police.

The internet isn’t big enough for Mr. Sumner’s ego.

THE ONLY ZENYATTA I care about is the great RACE HORSE—SHE COULD BEAT THE BOYS.

One of the songs is inspired by a Bob Newhart comedy routine about driving lessons.

The Police remain hugely popular. I never bought one of their albums, but I enjoyed some songs on the radio.

They have over 5 billion streams on Spotify alone, and over 30 million monthly subscribers. They have over 3 million daily streams just on Spotify.

Nobody cares anymore. Even if you are a grandparent, this is your grandparents’ music.
