Every Breath You Take: The Classics (1995)
I’ve always liked The Police (except when “Roxanne” is played on the radio and I have to comfort myself in the knowledge that it will be over in 3:12, Hallelujah!). I’ve just never really liked them QUITE enough to buy any single album of theirs. Behold, the answer to my prayers. A great album without doubt, it makes me a little sad that they broke up at their peak.
(“King Of Pain”, “Every Breath You Take”, “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”)
Grade: A+
The Police (2007)
Everything you could possibly want by The Police (Therefore better than ‘The Classics’) and, unfortunately, more (Therefore worse than ‘The Classics’). For the dedicated fan.
(“Can’t Stand Losing You”, “So Lonely”, “Synchronicity I”)
Grade: A
