I really like The Police. I really like this album. It still has the energy of the first album, but as said above and elsewhere, the sound that would dominate the rest of their career and the 80’s is here.
Some really smart Psychology or Sociology grad student should write a paper on what it is about Uber successful front men that bristles people the wrong way.
I do think Sting is different from Bono and Morrissey. Moz, I suspect, has a certain amount of self hate going on. I truly believe Bono is hurt by all of it. I don’t think Sting gives a fuck.
