Emphasis on "shit"

My favorite album by them is either this or the debut. I think it's interesting how the course of their career shows them slowly transitioning from the stripped down bar rock of their first album, to the progressive electronic sound of their last one. This album is a very good snapshot of them sort of halfway between the two. My favorite song on it is Man in a Suitcase, I don't know how they didn't make it a single. I know they're one of the biggest bands of their era and were basically rivals of bands like U2, but I actually find that for me, they have a similar appeal to bands like The Jam and Television. It's kind of this cool, sort of mod, vaguely artsy punk thing.

Im pleased to see more Police appreciation on Any Forums. Legendary band.

A personal favorite and a pop masterpiece. The production alone is a work of art, I often wonder why the three of them never became album producers. Side A is immaculate and Side B is still real good. Too bad they never tried to make a pure fun record after this. Nothing else besides Reggatta and parts of Ghost has the unique blend of jazz,reggae,ska,synth pop, and slight elements of funk.
U2 opened for them a few shows during the Ghost tour. Seeing all the legendary and mu core bands that would open for U2 puts the Police as forefathers of the alt rock and college rock genres. REM were another Police opener that went on to dominate the alt rock movement for a bit.
It’s about time. The Police have been slept on for a while here and in internet music forums. If XTC, Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads, and DEVO can get a rediscovery, Than the Police are worth one too.

Best Police album. I mean they're all good but this one just edges the rest.

David Watson
Sadly was eclipsed by what came before and also what came after.

Sting must have gotten a kick out of keeping people on their toes wondering if the next track was going to be one or the other
Matthew Campbell
Fuck. Me.
Parker Peterson

New Wave…?
They are probably the best band of their era. I still think The Cure bested them with Disintegration, but The Police were way better musical talents and had just as many hit songs that were much bigger than The Cure’s hits.
