Free Music Notes for The Police
Free Music Review: Good Sound Quality! Questionable Track Selections!
Hit: 3 Stars
I guess I'm lucky as I got the Made In Singapore version which also came with a very nifty free Police tee-shirt which truth be told went a long way in my decision to get this yet another Police greatest hits compilation. I was also impressed by the unique jewel case design and the cd booklet actually opens up into a poster which I thought was cool.
Speaking as a fan from the very beginning though I can safely tell you that the tracks on this baby do not even remotely represent their best work. I have been able over the years to filter their songs into what is truly The Police's 20 greatest songs and they are listed below:
1. Roxanne
2. Can't Stand Losing You
3. Message In a Bottle
4. Walking On the Moon
5. Don't Stand So Close To Me
6. Driven To Tears (brilliant lyrics)
7. Canary In a Coalmine
8. De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
9. Behind My Camel (Grammy award winner btw)
10.Spirits In the Material World
11.Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
12.Invisible Sun
13.Omegaman (a masterpiece of guitaring excellence)
14.Secret Journey
15.Darkness (my all-time favourite Police track, simply a work of art)
16.Synchronicity II
17.Every Breath You Take
18.King of Pain
19.Wrapped Around Your Finger
20.Tea In the Sahara
Thankfully with the advent of the MP3, I have been able to compile on my own what is truly the best work this great band has ever done. If you already have all the albums save yourself the money and instead of getting this album, why don't you compile your own favourite tracks the way I did?
Free Music Review: A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE........ THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA
Hit: 1 Stars
Police fans should be dismissed as lunatics or at the very least avoided. Back in the 80's, The Police were given such a loving pat on the head by critics. I could only come to one conclusion. As with new wave, the mainstream were hoping the Police's brand of inoffensive music would put a more acceptable image on punk rock. The reality was their gutless music was generally just a cut above soft rock and lyrically they were irrelevant compared to many REAL punk bands.
Lo and behold the masses ate it up and went a step further putting a phony like Sting on a pedestal, as a spokesperson for indigenous populations of South America.
If commercially intended wimpy soft rock is your thing, then any Police CD will go well with your boring middle class friends, cheap beer and colored sweaters. Get a life!
p.s Their is now a cure for insomnia.......any of Sting's solo CD's.
Free Music Review: Where's the Beef?
Hit: 1 Stars
2 CD's....only 20 songs? And the 20 most obvious songs to boot. Where's the beef?!?!?! What a waste of money. The Police are a 5 Star band and deserve better than this meer sampler product. If all you want are the hits, this is for you. If you want The Police, spend your $$ on one of their original CD's. The CD reeks of a record company wanting to make a few more bucks off of the unsuspecting.Free Music Review: Not Good
Hit: 1 Stars
If you like pretentious boring crap. Then you are in the right place. You can not tell me that the drummer doesn't look just like Rick Springfield. The police are the only band worst then U2. I'm out.
