And just like that, our curse of sucky albums is broken! Huzzah!
Man, I really needed this. I didn't really know much about the Police before this album, although I have probably heard a bunch of their songs without realizing it. I did enjoy "Roxanne" although I have to admit I appreciate Ewan Mcgregor's version because it is more emotional and (let's face it) sexier. I found new songs to adore here, like "Message in a Bottle" and "Bring On The Night."
I get the sense that some people might consider this commercial garbage. I even get the impression that they didn't think they were that good, as the opening to "On Any Other Day" was "You want something corny? You got it." Maybe I am completely off and just feeling defensive. Either way I don't think there is anything embarrassing about liking this album.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this and hopefully, the suckfest is truly over.
RATING: 5/5
I like to think that my bottle sank into the ocean long ago and now it is being used as a home by some fish. I prefer that to the alternative: that someone took it and recycled it without bothering in looking inside.
