Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording
Synchronicity is the last full-length studio recording from the Police, the final evolution of their sound, and the album that yielded their greatest success. It is a brilliant pop record, but it's something more, as well. The singles, particularly "Every Breath You Take," "King of Pain," and "Wrapped Around Your Finger," while pure gems by themselves, are an integral part of the album's musical and lyrical texture. As the title indicates, the album's intellectual content is inspired by C.G. Jung's psychosocial connecting principle and it manifests lyrically in some of the most evocative imagery Sting has ever created. Musically, the band defines a sonic space with arrangements that are often spare to the point of transparency. The songs are constructed from delicate arpeggios and eerie washes of guitar, sinuous keyboard lines, solid, repetitive bass figures, and the signature Stewart Copeland drum sound, all topped by Sting's voice moving through a wide range of pitch and sentiment. Synchronicity is a collection that creates and sustains a mood in the sensitive listener, a feeling that remains after the last note has died away. A benchmark album from a tremendously influential band, it will stand the test of time as a genuine classic. --Al Massa

I own a Police greatest hits, and I enjoyed that. When I saw this posted, I snatched it up because I liked the hits off it. King Of Pain is one of my favorite Police songs, as is Every Breath You Take. 0ther favorites include Tea In The Sahara and the bonus Murder By Numbers. Strangely, I also like Mother. This is a pretty good album. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who likes the hits.

The years have treated this well. Initially inescapable singles blasted over FM 24/7 have grown over the years into the sophisticated lyrical experiments. The album rested for some years in my personal "desert island " collection, the 5 or so albums as the only music I could live with Ginger and Marianne. With a one cut exception ( a tad too Freudian) each song excellent. 30 years later you can listen to why STING was such a biggee and the single name phenom got launched into ego land.
