What I hate: two hands not enough to count the moments where I was looked at askance when you insert a disc The Police, with the argument that "Every Breath You Take" is not what would be for girls. Ahhhh! I would love to but those "Outlandos D amour 'throw to his head. For what The Police deliver on their debut is ernergiegeladen so that one speechless. Strongly influenced the former punk wave ascending and Stings jazz and reggae passion, magic, the three guys here a fantastic mix of punky High Speed ("Next to You"), anthemic party classics with reggae accents ("So lonely", "Roxanne") , rhymthmisch sophisticated radio numbers ("Hole in My Life"), or innovative Jamnummern ("Masoko Tanga") on the table. Although subsequent LPs occasionally quite can connect to this vibrant, energetic originality again, The Police have been immortalized here in music history.
Conclusion: In my opinion the best band of the 80s celebrates its birth on "Outlandos d'Amour" with a bang. So fresh, raw and energetic they were never again.
