It's the Police
I bought this when it came out just because it was big at the time. It's the Police. Not a big Police fan. Never was. It's OK for bringing back some old memories of the time, but not my style of music. .


hi
bought this CD after listening to a few songs on the CD. . and I loved the sound and style of this band. Sure, they sound like their rock counterparts, but this album possesses so much energy! I like every song, minus the one about the Homecoming Queen, and I find myself listening to this CD over and over again. I had to search my local area for a place that sold the "explicit lyrics" version, because I didn't want the original message of the song tainted by censorship.

For a girl who has grown up with rock music on her ears, this CD was just fine for satisfying that "bad girl" part (no matter how small!) of me. I recommend this CD for people who want more of this style. Whether or not this band will make the big time, it is still a good effort.


My favorite Cd
I bought 3 gold "Synchronicity" cd's and the sound is much fuller and better. I have had the cassette "Synchronicity" for 23 years since I was 9 and it recently quit playing. I bought one for a girl at work, one for my brother and one for myself. It is my favorite cd. I never get tired of listening to it though the song "Mother" is really strange the rest of the Cd is great and it sounds better in gold.


The Police - SYNCHRONICITY (1983)
It came as quite a shock when the band members went their seperate ways at the peak of the group's popularity. By the release of SYNCHRONICITY, their fifth album, The Police were the biggest band in the world. Fortunately, SYNCHRONICITY is as magnificent an epitaph as a band could wish for. Since its release, the album has become nearly legendary. The first half is great - particularly the uptempo "Synchronicity I" - but it's when one reaches the ferocious "Synchronicity II" that the album really takes off. What follows are some of the most impressive and memorable songs to come out of the 1980's, and possibly out of rock music in general. "Every Breath You Take", with its unforgettable guitar riff, needs no introductions; it is not only the band's signature composition, but the most requested song in the history of radio. "King Of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", and the dreamy "Tea In The Sahara" are brilliant; "Murder By Numbers", another excellent song, was tacked on to the end of the album when it was released on CD as incentive for fans to purchase the pricier CD version. Though the other band members contribute some compositions (Stewart Copeland's charming "Miss Gradenko", Andy Summers' bizarre "Mother"), it's clear that Sting was running the show. The immense success of the album convinced Sting to go solo, thus ending the reign of one of the greatest bands of all time. SYNCHRONICITY is pure gold, ranking among the finest albums of all time; it's a fitting end for such a wonderful band. .
