Reggatta De Blanc

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Some good stuff in there by the boys in blue.

Not a big police fan but didnt mind it, please no more though

Great album

few songs i really enjoy, not sure how to rate these. hmm If i rate objectively, all albums will get at least 2 stars. Then again, I suppose there's no point of trying to objectively rate them, since they're already on the list of the best albums of all time.. It would only serve to showcase my idea of what a good album should be (which means fuck all, and would be seen by nobody), rather than how i FEEL about it. Since the thoughts I've written on albums so far has been completely based on personal enjoyment and feeling, I'll make the star rating reflect that too. 1 star - didn't like it at all 2 star - meh 3 star - pretty good 4 star - pretty great 5 star - personal fav why did i even write that I know how star ratings work

I've never thought The Police were bad (except for ¨Roxanne¨) but I just can't stand Sting. He's basically the Bono of New Wave.

Enjoyable, but not without some missteps.

This is a good album that starts strong with one of my favorite songs.

Drums and guitar are cool, but everything is getting a little repetitive, especially the lyrics. not bad just not my type.

A few well known songs that were good, rest just a bit average.

Mixed bag, but there is definitely an underlying groove running through some of the tracks

2.5 stars - got a bit bored. Might be better on a relisten

7/10 contact

Good album for supper. But if you listen only and do no other thing, it seems to have a 40 minutes song. The sonority a repetitive.

Not that great

Well aware of the classics, but the rest was a bit underwhelming..

message in a bottle, reggatta de blanc fajne i walking on the moon, reszta w podobnym stylu w miarę git, trochę monotonne tho

It was fine.

ACAB except Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. To be fair, I quite like The Police (the band) and there's plenty on this to enjoy, especially if you prefer this band in their more fun, looser era. Few too many reggae bits for me and String's singing is often utterly horrible to listen to. This man is a bad singer. Great musician, bad singer. Stick to tantric sex. Anyway, the hits on this are absolute elite level pop songs. The filler is filler. I prefer the follow up to this but I'd stick it on again if the notion took me.

Muito bom, nostálgico

It took historical context for me to understand what was going on here. This is probably peak punk culture in the UK, and reggae is about to hit a long successful stride before its slump in the modern day. So, the appropriation of reggae? On an album basically titled white reggae? Punk essence is what makes it white? Half the time I feel like alternative ska could've been a thing here, but we were focusing on race. I find that a little disturbing. As far as the music goes, it's perfectly listenable. It's got influences I appreciate in a watered-down lemonade kind of way, so it works great in the background. I've never really been a fan of the big singles on here, and repeated looped listens didn't change my mind about that. There's some cool things happening with the bass real often, and the pop-punk feel they bring up is nice. Hard to hate, but there's nothing for me here to love, either. 3.2/5

Apart from, 'moon' and 'message bottle' found this album quite annoying.

Solid 3.7. Not quite a 4

Meh album. Not a fan of the general sound or Sting’s voice

More so 3.5 it was decent.

Não me puxou, apesar de ter uma ou duas músicas sólidas

Familiar with the Police, but not best friends with them. That being said, I really enjoyed this album. Tight group. Sometimes I feel like new wave can sound a bit trite, but they make it a bit more exciting with their heavy use of reggae grooves. I was surprised by "On Any Other Day", it felt a bit out of place. I enjoyed it nonetheless... 3.5

Average at best once you get passed Message in a Bottle

Good

Great drumming and a unique sound but it does get a bit samey

Message in a Bottle was so deeply overplayed on the radio stations that my parents used to listen to that I was somewhat predisposed to hate this. Stings faux Reggae accent is somewhere between offputting and outright cringe at times and that's reaaaaaally hard to get over. That being said, overal its pretty okay. The New wave influence is honestly more then I expected and the highlight here, and I really liked "Walking on the Moon". I just reaaaally cannot get over the accent appropriation. I really want to artistically like a lot of this, it sounds good, its just SO hard to get over. The content is a 3 but my comfort level is a 2.

Message in a bottle 7/10

Yeah a good listen

7/10

The Police, both the band and the weaponised arm of government, are appealing more and more to me as I age and accumulate assets.

Good

I like the way the police combine reggae with rock very unique. Not a lot stood out to me specifically though

Started off well but all the songs started to sound the same towards the end

Not in my chords, but it still relevant today. I admit, i listen to it very superficially, but i can't pretend to digest a single album in one day, especially if it's a good one

"Message in a Bottle" is excellent of course. "It's Alright for You" is pretty great too. Otherwise, it's... Fine. The accent appropriation is a bit weird. As is "On Any Other Day". But the album is mostly fine. I'm largely pretty ambivalent on the Police. They have some great songs, I like the music... Wouldn't likely listen to them regularly.

6/10. Fav Tracks - Message in a Bottle Fun sound however I much preferred "Synchronicity" from The Police. Message in a Bottle and some others are obviously classics however I think the risks they take in later projects absolutely pay off more than this album.

teve uma hora que eu não sabia se era rock, pop, ska, reggae ou paralamas. baita disco.

Message in a bottle is an all-timer, but the rest kind of blended together for me

Never really heard the Police before, other than their big 3 or 4 songs. It was fine. I'd call it a pleasant surprise. Nothing very life-changing, pretty generic, but I have a feeling it was other bands copying them more than the other way around. Really enjoyed the titular track.

Can a white boy speak a little patois? Message in a bottle is a really good song and the rest was okay. I like Zenyatta Mondatta a lot more.

Police are just one of those bands. I like a lot of their stuff. I do. Deep cuts as well as singles. But then they'll have moments that I just HATE - repetitive, purposefully annoying, agonizingly pretentious. So I'm caught between really loving about half of their catalog and hating about 10%. Regatta De Blanc fits that nicely- some great moments marred by some horrible ones. THREE STARS

recognize the quality of The Police and I’ve always listened to them, but I’ve never been a big fan. While I love the overall idea of reggae rock, it doesn’t quite resonate with me the way it should

Same as the other Police record I got. Great singles that have held up. The rest is disappointing filler.

I wasn't sure what to expect since I haven't really cared for the Police songs I've heard on the radio, but I ended up enjoying this album. Not quite as much 'reggae' as promised by the title, but that ended up being a good thing.

This is not my favorite Police album but if you want to hear a trio of musicians at their peak here it is. Half this album is incredible- some of the best music ever recorded. If you would like to hear some of the best plumbing of all time, it is also cute. Anyone that does not list Stuart Copeland as one of the top Summers of the 80s, if not ever, check this record out. The same could be said for Andy Summers and Sting as well. Unfortunately this band is the greatest example of excellence when following the lead of one particular songwriter. There is nothing wrong with Stew’s songs but when you put them up against some of Stings they are weak. Anyway: 7/10

There are some high highs, but most of the album doesn’t live up to how good those moments are. But the highs are REALLY high. The best songs were Message in a Bottle, On Any Other Day, and Does Everyone Stare.

Similarly to the other album by the band that features on this list - "Synchronicity" - "Reggatta De Blanc" is for me a curious case of an album of very high highs and quite boring lows. As far as it's normal for each album to have outstanding songs interwoven with less memorable pieces that act as a kind of filling, when I listen to The Police I don't really want to listen to those "between" songs. "Message in the Bottle" or "Walking on the Moon" are classic songs that went straight into my "Best of" playlist, but I didn't care much for most of the other songs. I guess it might deserve a bit more love that I gave it, I feel a bit unfair giving it only 3, but it is what it is.

I liked the majority of it

Man I thought these guys were better than this Message in a Bottle’s pretty good, Walking on the Moon’s alright, but everything else ranges from mediocre to just weird. I do think it was a little better on my second listen, there’s really nothing truly awful about this one. Sting’s vocals are pretty hit or miss; when they work it feels like no one else could sing that part but sometimes they just sound off. Other than the bass which is pretty solid I feel like the instrument work just isn’t that special. Yet again a case of “it’s not awful, but I know they can do better”

Solid second serving from The Police. Google Translate indicates the title has no meaningful translation. Wikipedia suggests it means "white reggae." But that's ok either way, because the album has good tracks up and down. Message In A Bottle probably the biggest hit, but Can't Stand Losing You and Walking On The Moon are two of my favorite Police songs. Bring On The Night another great one. In the post-punk and new-wave world of the late late 70s and early 80s, The Police ruled. Unbelievable that they carved this large a path with just 5 studio albums. Reggatta de Blanc as an album is a solid listen, but only a handful of great tracks. Probably 3 1/2, but not quite a 4...

This album from The Police is solid, especially considering it's just three dudes making a consistent wall of sound on several tracks. Stewart Copeland's drumming is tight, and the whole rhythm section really ties everything together. But let's be real. The album's got its issues. A bunch of tracks feel like they're not quite done cooking and give the impression they threw in some demos to fill space. On the album's length, it kills the momentum created by the most solid tracks. "Message in a Bottle", for instance, is a great song which passes the test of time. That intro riff? Still catchy as ever, even after all these years. Only issue? It opens the album and from there on you have this feeling of sliding down with no song catching up to the level of this intro. Did I need to hear this before I die? Yeah

Classic Police. Some big bangers on this album, poppy rocky with nice guitar and bass. 7/10

fun!!!!

Love the lyrics, love the styles choices Favorite track: Message in the Bottle

maybe too ancient in its own right for me to get it, goes into reggae territory in Bring on the night, which is cool, because I love reggae. pretty alchemical, but in some ways insufficient.

41#

A lot of sophomore slump happening on this one, but a few high highs!

Not bad, not exceptional - a couple of good songs

Nunca he sido gran fan, me pasa como con algunos grupos de la época de queen que los tengo muy quemados por la radio. A su favor he de decir que me ha dejado simplemente indiferente, ha sido un logro no decir que lo he odiado porque es un grupo que ha sonado hasta la saciedad con las mismas 4 canciones. He de puntualizar que lo que más pesado se me ha podido hacer es que las bases me resultan muy repetitivas

This was a pretty odd album. On the one hand I grew up on these guys a little, they spent some time in rotation when I was just getting into music. But on the other hand there’s some weird shit on this album. Like it’s fun but it just left me confused on what they were trying to do a lot of the time. Not bad though, still a good time. Favorites: Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Does Everyone Stare

This was fun. Wouldn’t reach for it again but I enjoyed it enough

groovy

- Sting sounds like an ahole - I don't believe his refute of the rape allegations (of a 15-year-old) against him. His bandmates have sued him, and this quote, "Sting has easily cleared hundreds of millions of dollars in his life, but he said he wasn't planning on leaving much of it to his children because he fears that the money would just be "albatrosses round their necks." "I told them there won't be much money left because we are spending it. ... They have to work," he said. "All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate." Dude is worth, like, half a billion dollars, and wants to spend it all, and not on his 6 kids. Yeah, you don't need my support. - The two hits are still enjoyable. - The instrumentation is tight, with everyone doing some interesting experimentation or clean riffs on the other songs. And, great drumming. - When he's in his range, I like Sting's unique voice, but when it's too high, it gets out of tune. His singing totally ruined "Bring on the Night" and "No Time This Time", and the Jamaican affectation on multiple songs was cringe. - The songs can feel kind of half-baked (seems like the right word for white people appropriating Reggae)/unfinished - it's like they never knew how to end the songs. - The album definitely felt too long - it lost steam after "Walking on the Moon". Hate "On Any Other Day". And what's with the homophobia? Also disliked "Does Everyone Stare".

I love message in the bottle as much as the next person and any other day is a fun song, I haven’t heard before, even though there are some gems on here like sad songs along with bring on the night I think it’s just OK perfectly middle of the road three out of five

These guys are severely overrated.

6.5/10

"On Any Other Day" really reminded my of Nirvana's "Lounge Act" (just not being so overplayed that it makes my ears bleed.)

Not my genre but fun 80's if you're in the mood.

Its fine I guess

It's got that classic Police sound, even early on. Sting's vocals are the star here. There's something about it that does keep it interesting, and you can definitely hear how they were starting to find their groove. It's OK. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Message In A Bottle - Bring On The Night - Walking On The Moon

erm... was hoping to like this more than I did. The two big hits are great songs. Most of the rest had a lot of pop but just weren't all that good.

Pretty ok, a few classic Police songs but everything else is just fine

I dunno hey

regardless of the clear reggae influences during the first half, it took some interesting and dynamic turns from the second half. it's a high 3 for me

listening to the vinyl while crafting so i can't say i'm paying much attention but it's alright i guess

nunca habia escuchado un disco de the police. mi tema favorito fue deathwish

Decent BPM, but pretty flat. Walking on the Moon and Message in a Bottle. Also I'm not a huge fan of skit tracks.

Message in a Bottle is classic!! I didn’t think I’d like this album though but was pleasantly surprised. Definitely would listen again.

Ahhh yes the guitar hero bop. Very *mysterious* sounding Its alright for you is catchy Also, "Limp wrist, tight fist" should be a queer slogan and available on a tshirt. Lol I thought they were saying "does everyone smell the way i do?" Random intermittent reggae vibes STOP THE ALBUM TITLE MEANS WHITE REGGAE Idk its a good time but not my fave. Solid tho

Think I preferred this to Synchronicity, starts of with a blinder with Message in a Bottle. Some of the post punkier songs are cool but a lot of this didn't feel cohesive, and some of Stings vocal performances were shit

Some great songs, some that aren't my fav. Love Copeland as a drummer

🎧This is a 2 but it’s got Message In A Bottle, Bring On The Night, and Walking On The Moon. So it’s a 3.

The police again!?!

Wee woo wee woo Now THATS what I call the police

Okk jee, mrzi me da pišem bilo šta sad, editovaću za godinu dana. 3,5/5

Respect što su probali da umešaju rege - ja lično ne bih nikad to radila - ali su izveli to na jedan od boljih načina. Doduše, ništa me nije oduševilo. Deathwish mi se jako dopala, eto toliko. Više volim druge njihove stvari 3,5/5

6.5/10

Strong start, Lil sameh through the middle. Sun day licks. Odd Vfx

The lyrics and melodies get a little repetitious at times, lacking the sophistication of Synchronicity, but still good.

Good but dated

It’s just wildly inconsistent. The highs are high but man, the lows… Really hampers my enjoyment of the album.

Enjoyed more than I was expecting. Opens up with Message in a Bottle which is my favorite Police song so that doesn't hurt. Still find Sting's vocals hokey but the musicianship otherwise is solid

Not horrible, the Police always repeated too much of their songs for me to fully enjoy.

Message In A Bottle 5/5 Reggatta De Blanc 3/5 It's Alight For You 3/5 Bring On The Night 3/5 Deathwish 3/5 Walking on the Moon 3/5 On Any Other Day 3/5 The Bed's Too Big Without You 3/5 Contact 2/5 Does Everyone Stare 4/5 No Time This Time 3/5 Overall Album 3.18

Unique sound, of its time but some great tracks

A frw classics, enjoyed listening

I listened to this about a week ago now. I think it was ok. But I don't really like Sting. Sorry.

U2 mit Interesse an Weltmusik. Schwierig - ich finde einzelne Teile sehr gut (das Gitarrenspiel, viele Bridges, die Tempowechsel), aber kein einziges Lied.

Eratisch. Gefällt in den Peaks, fällt ab in der Summe. Try hard artsy.

This was a hard one to rate for me, the Greatest Hits of the Police featured HEAVILY in my household growing up, and I was ready to love the album tracks I had not heard before on here, and whether it was a case of the bar being set too high but was left still loving the singles but not too much in between. Message In a Bottle is a firecracker of an opening and one of my favourites of theirs generally, but alas.

Yay! The Police! The hits really hit, and on the whole I liked how there was sonic cohesion throughout without getting caught in the samey-sameness. Other than that though, not a whole lot to write home about.

this was ok! not the biggest fan of this sound but more exciting to me than some recent entries

cultural appropriation???

Pretty good, but not as mind blowing as I thought it’d be.

546/1001

That was ok. I only know The Police for their singles - I guess I'll keep it that way.

Vado per decadi in modo gaussiano. La parte alta della gaussiana va dal 1945 al 1975, dove collocherò molti rating da 4 a 5 stelle. Dal 1976 al 1995 siamo nella parte centrale della gaussiana, con qualche rating da 3 a 4 stelle. Dal 1996 in poi siamo nella parte bassa della gaussiana, con rating da 1 o 2 stelle. A questo album dei Police darò 3 stelle.

It’s ok

Интересное смешение жанров. 2 трека в избранном.

This was great back in the day but hard to listen to now. Bring On The Night is good. On Any Other Day sounds like it kicked off the whole of US schoolboy punk. A lot to answer for.

Even if I'm not really a fan of The Police, neither of Sting's style, O found myself appreciating this album more that expected. It kept me company and I didn't wander off with my mind too much. But out of the first track, there's not one the actually stands out to me or that I would relisten to.

Gewoon prima? Eerste paar nummers beter dan de laatste. Op begeven moment begin je toch te denken hm zeikerds

A very pleasant album, but The Police had lost a lot of the ska edge that defined them by this point. Sting had started a lifelong journey up his own rear end, decided that it was his band, and the others were pushing back hard. The lyrics are cringeworthy in places, especially when he starts his dinosaur rhymes, but the singles rescue it. A solid 3, but no more.

Happy Australia Day you faaaaarking sick cahnts. I'm down here at Coogee, my favourite beach in Sydney. I haven't been swimming - the weather's a bit shit today. It's too cloudy and windy. Yesterday was prime beachgoing weather, however. I was only at the beach for an hour, yet I came away with a mild sunburn all across my face. Maybe it's good to take it easy today. I was hoping I'd roll an Australian album as the result of some cosmic interference, but I'm happy to land on something from the British Isles. This is my final Police album. I don't recall much about Synchronicity as that was 352 albums ago - the longest artist gap to date. I liked "Every Breath You Take" but, to be fair, everyone likes that song. I've become much more favourable to 80s music in the time between these two albums, so I'm hoping this Police album will be the one to win me over. I'm open to giving Synchronicity another go regardless of if it does. Interesting. I can say with certainty that this is the first reggae-new wave album I've listened to. Granted, that sound is only truly apparent in the case of the big singles, but it persists throughout the remaining tracks nonetheless. My interest in this album fluctated on a per-track basis. I went from liking one song, to being uninterested in the succeeding track, to being reeled back in by the track thereafter. The guitars are the strongest aspect of this album. The songs I consider to be the best usually have the best guitar hooks. The reggae-influenced vocals have a unique sound, and I like how they lend themselves to some fun, bouncy songwriting. There's a decent spread of instruments and moods on this album, too. The variety, unfortunately, doesn't save this album from my biggest gripe, which is that these songs generally drag on for longer than they need to. While the compositions of this album are decent, the lack of bass or complex instrumentation makes them sound a little one-dimensional after a while. Fortunately, this album was only 40 minutes, so this gripe didn't prove to be as bad as it could otherwise be. Book time. Quickly topped the English charts. A unique take on new wave. Wikipedia says that this album had two UK number one singles and was well-received by critics as well. Yeah, solid pick. I cosign this inclusion

I can assuredly affirm I think The Police were an amazing band. Although my common pattern with early influential bands is that I caught them toward the end of their discography - for me it was Synchronicity then solo Sting - and got burnt out before beholding the full span of their musical panorama. Before I became a 'cool kid' and just knew all the good music. So I hadn't actually listened to Regatta in entirety before and I'm glad this list coaxed me to devoting some attention. In many points of the tracklist it really pops with their sharp virtuoso rhythm, and in others it's a little flat. I expect there are other Police records on the list, so we can circle back on this topic again.

I should try to figure out more about where and when of this band, these guys are looking pretty freaking fresh.

I feel like I should really like this, but I just really don't. Message in a bottle is great and stewart copeland is sick, but I just really didn't have much fun with this. I'm writing this as I listen to No Time This Time which is honestly the most fun song on the album and is legitimately putting this back into 3 star-ville. 3.1 stars, doesn't really fuck.

Highlights: Walking On The Moon, Message In A Bottle, Bring On The Night. In a nutshell: giant steps to take The band were aiming for reggae rock- hence the album title. Risky move. I can hear elements of new wave and post punk as well. I adore the drumwork on here. Despite the weird lyrics and Sting’s staccato, I think it works. Overall: 5/10

i like this police but i was shocked i only liked 3 songs off dis album :(

Started and ended VERY strong for me, but the middle wasn’t as notable. Middle dragged it tbh.

"White reggae" but nothing about it seems Reggae except for the singers hoarse voice, which he isnt much of a singer given his voice seems to be cracking every few seconds into the song the Instrumentals are what made this album for me, message in a bottle (arguably the best song the album) has the Instruments at a higher volume than the singer, which says alot about why its the best song on the album anyway 3.5/5 Would listen again

Overall not for me. I recognized the Message in a Bottle song but I think the other major standout was the titular track.

Several big hits, other big flops

ACAB includes The Police

The Police is alright, but it's never awesome either.

The Police (and I only mean the band) is always cool!

Solid rock 3

Favorites 1. Message In A Bottle 4. Bring On The Night

Enjoyed this. Stuart Copeland? Come on, of course it’s good. What struck me was the production - very much just the sound of the band, all of whom are experts in their field. Solid.

There are some bangers on this album, then there are some tracks that could easily be skipped. Those songs are sadly mostly middling filler that is poorly done reggae. 2.5 / 5

Album #29: Reggatta de Blanc - The Police Genre (W): New wave, reggae rock, post-punk Singles: Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Bring On the Night, The Bed’s Too Big Without You I have only heard “Message in a Bottle”. Thoughts: This is an interesting album filled with reggae influences. Reggae may not be one of my favorite genres, but I like how The Police use it in their rock music to make their new wave music. Favorite songs: Message in a Bottle, Reggatta de Blanc, Bring On the Night, Walking on The Moon, No Time This Time

It was really diffrent from my typical type of music, didnt really like it that much

The singles are outstanding, especially "Message in a Bottle" and it's not that the rest of the album is bad, just not quite to that caliber. So I wouldn't go & listen to this one again & instead I'd reach for the greatest hits.

This may be one of the biggest bands of their era, but they're far from the greatest. What it is is new wave mixed with some reggae flourishes and Sting's easily identifiable vocals. However, it's mostly just ok; while this band have some great songs, this album seems to be mostly devoid of them. There are some legitimately good musical backgrounds here, but the lyrics are usually lacking and the melodies usually don't go anywhere interesting. In the end, popularity is no indicator of greatness; while some popular artists are often remembered as among their generation's greatest, many(including the Police) are not that great.

Really fun listen despite the potentially problematic title. The drums on this album are actually absurd. The title track has become one of my favorite songs by police. However this album does lose momentum towards the end and some of the songs feel less fleshed out compared to some of the bigger songs.

Chock-full of amazing moments that are intertwined with decent ones. Totally worth the check

Best: Message In A Bottle (Dis)honorable Mentions: No Time This Time - the vocals are a bit too much On Any Other Day - award for weirdest lyrics Does Everyone Stare - I like how prominent the piano is, but it gets quite repetitive The album is a weird mix of genres (a bit of reggae, a bit of surf rock vibes) and overall gives me mixed feelings. Most of the songs are too repetitive to the point that, even if they had a promising start or good instrumentals, they get drawn out by the end. But I wouldn't say anything is really terrible here, just gets too old too quickly. Probably won't be returning to this one.

They got skills, but I don't like the songs very much.

Message in a Bottle is good

Not as good as the other police album that came up.

6/10… rock / new wave / *1979

Mostly carried by the two big singles I already knew. I've always liked The Police but they've never been one of my favorites, they seem to be very dependent on their big hits, and the deeper cuts are not worth much attention. Of the deeper cuts I enjoyed the title track, On Any Other Day, Contact, and Does Everyone Stare. The rest kind of just went by without me being able to grasp onto anything. Perfectly average album, if you know the singles and enjoy that sound you'll like it fine but it's not gonna change your life.

A couple iconic tunes here and some that are entertaining enough but still mostly filler.

Good not great

Loved this album. It has some of my favorite songs.

The Police aren't my favorite band, I've only ever heard the radio hits. This was my first time listening to an entire Police record. This wasn't a bad time. It won't be elevated to a spot where I listen to it all of the time, but I enjoyed it enough for the duration.

It’s a vibe, it’s nostalgia, it’s not too bad and it’s not too much.

enjoyed it but didn't get fully immersed and isn't something i would normally listen to but had some stand out tracks!

"Message In a Bottle"! A classic. Pretty repetitive but still good.

Middle of the road for me

Helt ok album! Några bangers men tycker att lite för många låtar låter likadant.

Hit or miss for me. I do like the stripped down almost bedroom poppy sound they have going on some of the time. But it only works about half the time. 5/10 Favorite tracks- “Message in a Bottle” “On Any Other Day” “Contact”

Police Albums are weird beasts. All of them have one or two songs that are so well known that they're part of the DNA of popular culture. Outlandos D'Amour has Roxanne and So Lonely Zenyatta Mondatta has Don't Stand So Close to Me and Do Do Do Do Da Da Da Da Ghost in the Machine has Every Little Thing And of course Synchronicity has Every Breathe You Take. But once you get past the songs everyone knows you get songs that no-one ever thinks about. When was the last time you heard Peanuts or Born in the 50s or Man in a Suitcase or Darkness or Tea in the Sahara? Regatta de Blanc is the same. Any album with Walking on the Moon and Message in a Bottle can't be all bad and Deathwish, Bring on the Night and The Bed's Too Big Without You aren't far behind. But then you've got things like a strange semi instrumental, the bizarre On Any Other Day, a bit of wannabe punk and whatever Does Everyone Stare is. The musicianship is outstanding. Andy Summers knows no bounds in inventing guitar sounds and Stewart Copeland pounds the drums like a man possessed. Sting is... well... Sting and I'll leave it up to you to decide for yourself. When it's good it's brilliant and it's brilliant for four or five tracks. But there are eleven tracks on the album

not as good as synchronicity but still nice. a consistently good album

Fairly good one!

i like

The guitar work on this record is phenomenal. Some tracks just come across funny. The hits are hitting.

A bit of a weird one. I went into this album assuming I'd enjoy it a lot more than I actually did. Usually quite like fusion but this feels just a bit too unpolished for me, especially in "on any other day". Read the wikipedia page and it said that a lot of the songs were unrehearsed before recording which somewhat doesn't surprise me.

kinda not my favorite 6/10

mid album tbh

thought this was pretty good it’s an 6/10 reminds me of charlie ;(

Has some catchy tunes, not gonna lie. Stand-outs - Message In A Bottle - Bring On The Night

The Police's debut really lives up to its title. It's Reggae, but for white people. Key tracks: Message in a Bottle

Good able from great artists and musicians. Going 3.5 and could round either way but going down for today as the police have never really been a band I’ve gotten that into. Steward Copeland is a baller tho’.

Mesečina bato je

My Dad loved The Police, and my interest springs from childhood memories, but a Greatest Hits is enough.

This album is like being on a cruise with your family and losing your child after dinner. Once dinner service is finished on the cruise, a band starts playing and there are drinks and dancing. Nothing too rowdy, but a good time for a big crowd. The music is high energy and a lot of people are dancing, which makes it hard for you to duck and weave through the crowd to find your son.

Nostalgic Sumner Summers

Has some memorable songs, but I didn't love it.

I like the Police, this album isn't their best, but Message in a Bottle is fun, and Walking on the Moon is very good. A couple of the songs are a bit too disco-y for me, so overall I'd say about a 3.33, so it will get a 3.0 Not quite strong enough for a 4.

Mais legal do que eu achei que seria. Message in a bottle é a mais interessante - cheia de energia e carismática, já tinha cara de hit. Ouvindo fiquei pensando em como o som que eu chamo de anos 80 tem a cara do The Police e como parece que eles influenciaram muita gente.

Favourites: 1. Bring on the Night 2. Message In A Bottle 3. The Bed's Too Big Without You Least Favourite: Regatta De Blanc

Man, I love the Police, but I don't think this is their best album. But it still has some great bangers and some silly songs, too.

3.5

Not bad. Better than expected.

message in a bottle rocks but i didn't love the rest

Good

I like this album. Admittedly, some of the songs are just ok - Stewart Copeland should not be allowed to sing as long as Sting is in the band. But, by and large, this album is solid. 7/10

'Message in a bottle' is a great opener along with 'No time this time' being a good closer. Songs are groovy and upbeat with nice melodies but a lot of the middle songs suffer from being forgettable. Overall enjoyable album. Weak 7/10.

Didn’t finish it, got bored Boyfriend did try putting me on a couple songs before this and I still didn’t like them

i liked it alot

mid.

Boring as shit.

I expected I would like this a lot more than I actually did considering I dig a lot of The Police's hits, like Message in a Bottle, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Breath You Take, etc. Bass lines were great, as you might expect, but the rest just sounded kind of bland to me.

Good start, bad second half.

Good but not great. Didn’t quite catch me as expected. Simpsons: Yes

3.5

Enjoyed the first half a lot more; Regatta de Blanc and Message in a Bottle were the highlights for me!

A decent set of mostly tight pop songs but probably not their best output. Lyrically a bit light but 3.5 for me.

Classic album with quite some intresting sounds going for it. The more popular numbers where the more intresting ones for me. Im starting to realize that this is because so mutch of the band music from around 1960 to 1990 involves the standard formula of gituar, bass drums and vocals that i tend to pick the best of all them. I liked that they incorperated a more dynamic soundscape instead of constantly the same. Dont have a lot more to say about it. Intresting, definatly not bad. 3.25

This was kind of a gateway drug, putting a new (to us in the hinterlands) out where we could find it.

Message In A Bottle // Bring On The Night // Walking On The Moon //

A good sophomore effort from The Police. The standout songs are the classics, but there are a few others on there that are also well worth the listen. A couple fall flat, but I’m always impressed with the sound that comes from only three members in the band. 3.5 stars.

The second album from The Police which continued to push them towards global notoriety. Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon are the clear standout songs of this album, but the other tracks carry the same sound we have come to expect from The Police (except for maybe On Any Other Day. I’m not sure what that song is all about). Good overall album that I would enjoy listening to again.

The one thing I’ve never thought while listening to any reggae music was, “Boy, I wish this was just a little bit whiter.” Also. getting this album on the day Jimmy Cliff died only makes it sound even worse. This is too formulaic as white boy reggae and their sound has not yet morphed into the more fully integrated reggae tinged rock that will make albums like Synchronicity stand out as unique. When it works, like on the singles we all know, it works well. But it misses much more than it hits here. That said, it’s still a fun listen. Lastly, It’s good to hear the growing pains Sting had to go through to gain his legendary tantric powers. Ultimately, I think M.C. Ren said it best on track 2 of Straight Outta Compton ( and he said it with authority).

I've always been a very big fan of the Police, hooked from the moment i saw the video for Don't Stand So Close To Me on MTV way back in the day. So there is strong bias here. Stewart Copeland is a monster behind the kit, I've always loved the rhythm of his drumming which pairs perfectly with Sting's bass. Andy Summers guitar dancing around their rhythm completes the trios sound perfectly. They each shine as players without tripping over eachother flexing their chops. A joy to listen to. I'm listening while writing and the hi hat on Walking on the Moon literally stopped me in my tracks. This is what I love about the Police, their greatness is subtle. I mean it's a frickin hi hat, but Copeland makes it a star on this track. Love it. Sorry I got distracted by a hi hat and strayed from the review....anyway....This is a great album, but not perfect, few misses. But that's more than okay, I like it warts and all. There will be more Police on this list, and I'm already looking forward to more!

If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching the Police's performance on the British show Rock Goes to College from 1979 during which they played much of this album. It's fantastic. This album is also great, but can't maintain the energy or interest to be a masterpiece. The Police are best when they are writing New Wave pop songs. And there are some excellent pop songs on this record. "Message in a Bottle" is a standard. "Walking on the Moon" is a stellar example of how the Police are able to fold their dub interests into a great pop song that holds interest for a full five minutes. However, many of the instrumentals and/or experimental songs overstay their welcome, even if they are built around some great ideas. The title track works as an instrumental, but others, such as "Deathwish" run out of steam far too early to justify their runtimes. Others, like "On Any Other Day" are cool, but I have no desire to listen to them over and over through the years. My assumption, especially considering the excellent dub selections from the Rock Goes to College performance, is that the Police just couldn't capture the energy of their live performances in the studio. They just didn't translate well. Where this album shines, it really shines. It contains several stone-cold new wave classics, but the record is too patchy for full marks. Three stars.

Only had heard ‘Message in a Bottle’ prior to this. I liked the first half better than the second half but it didn’t go anywhere for me. Solid enough but not sure I’d return to the album as a whole.

couple of classics and i very much like there sound and stings unique voice. few in this one i would have been happy to skip but overall i enjoyed this albums sound.

Enjoyed message in a bottle and walking on the moon, some good songs in there, but didn't know too many

I always think Sting sounds like he needs to do his breathing and just calm himself down a bit. He often sings at levels of urgency that make him sound like he’s about to do himself a mischief. Obviously, Message in a Bottle and Walking on the Moon are the big ones here and they both still sound great, but, not being familiar with their album tracks, it was good to have my interest piqued by several others. For the ultimate version of Message in a Bottle though, look up the one by Leatherface. That’s how you do it.

I hate to keep giving 3s but this is such a perfect blend of good, meh, and bad. Message in a Bottle is good but we've all heard it a million times. On Any Other Day is terrible. Walking on the Moon is great until Sting starts singing. The instrumentals are the main thing keeping this above a 2.

132 Me tocó dos días después del Synchronicity. Terminé de escucharlo y ni me di cuenta.

Two Police albums in one week. Again, it was fine. I knew Message in a Bottle mainly because I played it a million times on Guitar Hero back in the day. I also knew Walking on the Moon.

Man kommer inte runt att det är en enormt stark start. Säga vad man vill om Sting men nog är det skickligt och svängigt. Ibland mästerligt, men ibland tråkigt.

Like a 3.5

The first album had some good pop songs. This one has one monster and overall the writing and performances are better. Owned the album sometime ago and this first full through listen for a couple of decades. It still sounds fine but not as impactful as it may have once sounded. The band is tight with all three contributing sterling stuff. One of the weaker areas are the vocals.

Standard Police album

Reggae as hell. I really fuck with how well this song travels in a car a night, it felt like that had to be a factor at play when making this gem in the studio. Obviously Message in a Bottle is the one I was most familiar with, however Deathwish is a damn earworm and On Any Other Day sticks with me lyrically.

It was ok.

this was the first vinyl record i ever bought (25 cents at a garage sale in 2000). i dunno if i ever listened to anything past the first song on each side though. the weirder tracks make you wish they'd cut loose more.

The police sound like the police. It’s an unmistakable sound

Good album. Drumming is really good, and the band has the ability to get into a groove. They are better when it is upbeat. 3.5/5 Probably would listen again

I'm not really sure what to say about this one. I was familiar with "Walking on the Moon" and "Message in a Bottle" already, and while the rest of the album has a similar vibe (reggae/rock ish) it felt like it was missing an element of something. The playing was good, especially the drum parts and guitar riffs, but overall it was solid but unspectacular.

I mean, they're good. I can just never get them to really HIT you know?

Pretty good, lots of good tunes but some filler could've been cut and a couple tracks were pretty goofy. 3.5

-‘Message in a bottle’ is by far the best song on the album which makes sense why it’s the most popular -Although it’s not my usual genre of music, I did enjoy the flow of the album and I would not say I disliked it in any way Favourite songs Message in a bottle On any other day Does everyone stare Least favourite songs Deathwish

It's not Roxxane. Decent otherwise but it's kinda just fine.

Obviously the first song is a hit and easy to listen to. The rest was fine, I didn't get too into it. Wasn't put off by it, just didn't feel pulled into it like I did with some of the other albums.

80s classic

Ok ish

was alright, vocals were middle of the road.

How nostalgic. It's just kind of playing in the background. It's not something I'd put on on my own, but it's pleasant.

Solid. Not quite four.

Message in a Bottle is an excellent track, but then as the rest of the album plays it feels like most of the songs just kind of meander and never really change in energy. And then about halfway through you realise oh yeah, this album is literally called "White Reggae" and all of a sudden that's all you can think about. It does pick up a bit by the end though, and there was the occasional good hook (but then most of the songs don't go anywhere else after them) Faves: Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon, Contact

Message in a Bottle! But otherwise the rest are mid.

iconic, pretty solid, a few classics sprinkled in, YEP must be the police 6.8/10

Some bops and some flops. 5 sirens out of 10 lizard wizards

Okayish first song popular

Favorite song is either not time this time or ofc message in a bottle (death wish honorable mention). least favorite song is probably The beds too big without you. The same riff over and over again for 4 and a half minutes bored me. In general I noticed that the album uses a bunch of connective motifs and almost “samples” itself. It was rewarding being able to pinpoint those moments. This album was really solid, not mind blowing tho.

Overall good, but nothing on this album was as good as Message in a Bottle. 3.5/5

Just kind of a boring, weird album. Message in a Bottle will get you at least a star though. 2.5/5 (rounded to 3 because it's closer to that

Not a bad listen. The Police definitely have a unique sound, at least for the time that they were around. Probably pioneers of the sound, if I wanted to dig into it. The biggest problem I have with most of their songs (and not specific to just these songs but one that I have with many songs) is the tendency to repeat choruses ad nauseum. It's like they ran out of words so they just repeat the chorus over and over and over. Musically, I appreciate the unique vocals and instrumentation as they are distinct. The songs aren't terribly varied in their form across the album, but just different enough to provide some interest.

3.5

Great fun, good energy and a couple cracking tunes. Big time synergy between the band

3/5

like the bass ;-)

I enjoy some white boy reggae. I liked this more this time around than when I listened in the past. It still didn't fully blow me away. I'd do 3.5 if there were half stars, but sticking to my round-down policy.

Would not buy

this list is ruining music for me. i'm realizing all the new music i like is just worse versions of old music i don't like.

6.09

I think this was their first album. It certainly sounds like a first album. The big songs are definitely big, but a lot of filler as well.

begrudged 3

5.5/10 Highlights: Message in a Bottle Walking on the Moon

Like the poppier sounds compared to most reggae songs. Themes of paranoia and loneliness and Message in a Bottle is a classic. Prefer this rock/pop/ reggae fusion compared to The Special English punk/reggae sound though the pure reggae sections with the Specials sounded more authentic, this Police record sound much more cohesive overall.

Overall not my favorite police album, but walking in the moon is a standout track

Some classics some weak songs

117/1001 The Police - Reggatta De Blanc Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❓ I'm sort of a bit hit and miss when it comes to the singles I heard from the Police and I think it's a lot to do with Sting's vocals. Maybe I've softened my stance, as I didn't mind it for the most part. Either way a good mix of energetic punk combined with reggae make it a decent enough listen.

Message in a Bottle er en banger, men innså nå hvor (Don't Fear) The Reaper gitaren er. Resten av skiva når ikke opp til dette nivået, men Bring on the Night, Deathwish, Walking on the Moon er en solid run som får frem hva potensialet til gruppa er. It's Alright for You er låta du får hvis du blander Uncontrollable Urge med Subterranean Homesick Blues? Contact er egentlig er Gary Numan/Tubeway Army låt med litt reggea elementer? Mye av dette kom jo ut rundt samme tid, så var kanskje noe i vinden, men Numan gjorde uansett denne låta bedre. Jeg hadde ikke trodd at å høre på The Police skulle minne meg om så mye annet (og har kun nevnt det jeg kunne plassere), men at ingen av delene var Bob Marley. Tok Sting og co. egentlig bare kontemporære spor og sa "hva om vi covrer den jamaican style"?

Et solid rockealbum fra solide(?) folk. Message in a bottle er en åpenbar banger, men man finner ikke så mange andre enn den. Litt skuffa, Synchronicity er bedre.

Rien que pour le nom de l'album c'est -1

Pretty good. Held up by the excellent message in a bottle.

I love a lot of the Police’s music, but I’m not as big of a fan of some of their more reggae feeling stuff. But still a solid album

They were young, having fun, and finding their sound.

Absolute fun album. Essential Police.

This album is fun. It really grooves. I think "Message In A Bottle" is a standout track and the rest is just "good," but overall this is fun. Liked Songs: "Message In A Bottle" , "It's Alright For You" , "Deathwish" , "On Any Other Day" , "Does Everyone Stare" , "No Time This Time"

It was definitely of its time during the 80s. I didn't think they were as popular as they were.

I enjoy the police but this album is not their best. Great start with Message In the Bottle but too much random jazz towards the end.

The Police were opportunists. A great combination of top notch musicians "slumming it" with punk (It's Alright for You, No Time This Time), reggae (Bring on the Night, Bed's Too Big Without You), and new wave (Contact, Deathwish) styles that were popular at the time. It got them noticed and put them on the map. The dead giveaway that these guys were miles beyond those movements is their virtuosity. Andy Summers, a seasoned session guitarist, has scads of inventive licks and lush arrangements on this album. Stewart Copeland's intricate drum work is unmatched. With Sting as primary writer and front man, they were a force. Strengths: iconic songwriting: "Message in a Bottle" and Walking on the Moon." Powerful, energetic performances. A fun listen. Weaknesses: Great album but these are heavyweight musicians playing below their weight class. No need for filler songs (and there are a few).

1. Message In A Bottle - 11 Fantastic vocals. Brilliant instrumentals. Superb lyrics. An absolute all-time classic. 2. Reggatta de Blanc - 7 Lyrically there's really nothing on the track but it's still great. Instrumentally it sounds fantastic and the quick burst of drum rolls adds a lovely touch to the track. 3. It's Alright For You - 8 Brilliant guitar solo and sound. Much like a continuation of Reggatta de Blanc in terms of the song's composition but this time with some lyrics. They are a bit competitive but they do not dominate the track so it's not as big as an annoyance. 4. Bring on the Night - 8 Another solid track. Really enjoyable sound and really enjoyable lyrics. Right in line with It's Alright For You. 5. Deathwish - 7 Instrumentally it's really really good but lyrically it's probably the weakest of the last three tracks. Still, it's a tone change and a good one. Lot of fun none-the-less. 6. Walking On The Moon - 6 Sounds like a tropical-vibe kind of track. Not bad. Lyrically a bit strange at times but overall it's okay. 7. On Any Other Day - 2 Lyrically this is absolutely awful. Vocally it sounds very bad as well. A complete depart from the previous six tracks. 8. The Bed's Too Big Without You - 9 Instrumentally it's not as fun as other tracks on the album but lyrically it's also one of the strongest. Very strongly written track. 9. Contact - 4 Another lyrically poor track and the sound is not as enjoyable at all, especially in the lower octave parts. 10. Does Everyone Stare - 6 It's bang average. Not bad lyrically although very repetitive. Overall it's a decent track. 11. No Time This Time - 6 Not a fan of the effect on the vocals. It detracts a lot from an otherwise very fun track. Overall a solid song to end the album however. Average Rating: 6.73 Adjusted to 5-Point Scale: 3.36 Rounded Down: 3 Stars

White reggae 😅

The singles are great! The others are like unfinished version of the singles. Copeland tunes have Zappa vibes (derogatory)

Like Hansel in Zoolander, I can respect Sting’s music without really wanting to listen to it. There’s a lot to like about this on paper - it has tunes, it’s punchy and the Police are clearly experimenting with different genres, and that should be right up my alley. But I still feel I’m unlikely to listen to it again.

🎵 ‘cause I’m an island boy, oh I’m an island boy, imma just keep wagwan, you gonna keep that gun, imma be staring at the sun, I’m just full gazin’ 🎶 Highlights: Message in a Bottle, Reggatta de Blanc, Deathwish

Ihan hyvä levy. Pitää ehkäpä kuunnella uudestaan kun ei ehtinyt keskittyä kunnolla. 3/5.

Whiggae…Britgae? Interesting sound either way

I like the two popular songs: "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon". The rest of the album is OK, but I think this still a bit shy of 4-star territory for me. I like Sting but I think I prefer the post-Reggae style more.

Waffled between a 3 and 4 on this, and decided for a high 3. The two hits are great, and overall I feel like the band benefits from a loose lo-fi sound.

Another solid effort from the Police. Good grooves, and Sting has great energy throughout. Walking on the Moon is a bit… weird 80s cringe, but I’m willing to look past it on the merits of the rest of the record.

Message in a Bottle bangs, but I found the rest just kinda fine

Good album. I enjoyed listening to The Police.

Not really a fan of reggae but this album was pretty good.

Classic Police, pretty good, though not my main thing. Appreciate the faster pieces.

I had a review all lined up for this one based on how I remembered it, and it was only when listening when I realised that I may actually have never listened to it. So I scrapped it. Still, the Police were outlaws of love once, and topping that album would be hard, especially since they were out of ideas. What to do? Well, they'd had the bright idea to record in the same studio as last time, using the money they'd got from the previous album, so the label had no way to influence them. They could do what they want, and honestly it shows. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way; Sting, Andy and Stuart's willingness to write goofy lyrics completely earnestly and step outside the confines of the reggae sound they cultivated is endearing. But, aside from the stellar singles, it just doesn't hold together like their better albums do. Tangent: More bands need to sing about accidentally kicking someone in the shins. Favourite Song: Message in A Bottle Least Favourite: ... No Time This Time Strong Bad Demerit Count: 2

New-Wave's self described 'carpet-baggers' record a #1 single, follow the punky reggae formula for the next few tracks, then got bored and did whatever the hell they liked.

I like the reggae aspects, or even the bo diddley rhythm they find sometimes. Seems like they pulled from fun places to make a fun sound. The album is really well produced and has a clean sound.

Nunca conecté mucho con la música de The Police, y sinceramente no entiendo muy bien cual es la fascinación que tiene el público general de su repertorio. La experiencia de escuchar este álbum no fue la excepción a las ideas que tengo respecto de la banda. No creo que sea mala, para nada, pero casi nunca me sorprende o me atrapa. La música está bien ejecutada, el estilo es interesante en tanto que fue una de las bandas inglesas que movilizó el híbrido entre rock y reggae en su época, y es sorprendente que Sting cante y toque el bajo considerando que muchos de los grooves son complejamente sincopados. A su vez creo que tienen un sonido con mucha identidad, sobre todo gracias a la voz de Sting. Y por supuesto varios de los temas son hits muy reconocidos, pero es interesante notar en el álbum que fuera de estos hits ("Message In A Bottle", "Bring On The Night" y "Walking On The Moon") los temas son poco memorables o interesantes. Creo que la obra fuera de estos tres temas se pierde en un estilo más experimental y extraño que no logra capturar el atractivo de los susodichos temas.

I liked the first side better than the second. I would give the first side four stars, and the second three. The whole thing gets three stars from me.

Classic album. Obviously Message in a Bottle is one of the biggest classic rock staples out there, but thealbum does have some great pop punk tracks like Bring on the Night. Stewart Copeland always locks down the drums, easily the best (and most underappreciated) aspect of The Police IMO. Will say, getting to the second half of the record though, it's kinda losing me. Some weird vocal choices, and odd musical ideas. Thought this was gonna be better than it is.

meh

Meh.

White people doing reggae

Not sure about the dude putting on a Jamaican accent for some reason, I think some of the songs are good fun and quite interesting, and they're obviously great players. Its a real mix though some of these songs sound more like the talking heads and some a bit like Gary Numan like Contact. They feel a bit punk in the same way as bands like the Jam but I think its probably worse as it seems they can't really decide on a single style. Favourite songs: message in a bottle, regetta de blanc, its alright for you, contact. Overall around 6/10

For the last four years I've wondered if I should've given Synchronicity a 4 instead of a 3.5. It's really kept me up at night. Thought this was finally my chance to redress the balance and put on record that I do actually rate The Police rather highly. Message In a Bottle and Walking On The Moon: great - classic singles to build a classic album around, right? Alas, beyond those two it's just a bit average, really. Bring On The Night and a couple of others are nice, but the Stewart Copeland-penned tracks let the side down. Apparently they were scratching around for material at this point, and it kinda shows.

I knew the classics (Walking on the Moon and Message in a Bottle). The rest of the songs were just okay.

This is the music they play when you go to the grocery store mid morning on a weekday. Not terrible, not great, just eh.

I’m not the biggest fan of the police, but I did enjoy some of the deep tracks on this one.

Nothing special

Sting would make a great valley girl

This was fun. I was familiar with Message in a Bottle, thanks Guitar Hero. I found the other songs interesting with the obvious reggae influences.

I started thinking I had listened to this album and realized pretty quickly my sister had their greatest hits album instead. I have decided I like The Police much better than Sting. There are some bangers on here and the lyrics are way less creepy

Lots of fillers with a couple of hits in between, very samey guitar riffs throughout, lyrically not fantastic

I feel The Police did a lot for music (or at least that is what we are told) but I don't think I quite get them. Sting's voice starts to grate on me in all honesty and a lot of this album sounds like a prolonged jam session. I love the punk influence and the start of ska showing itself in their music and maybe that is why they were important, for what they influenced others to create but apart from that as a reason i don't think i'll be listening again.

"And my fine son has turned out gay." - On Any Other Day Woof. Not aged well. This song seems a throw away gas but still...

Lots of nostalgia with this one, catchy as hell with great vibes all the way through. Definitely a few boring moments but overall an enjoyable listen.

Solid album. It's very unique and full of life and energy. Some really good tracks on here, and some that I was more indifferent to. Great playing, and the vocals were fun and lively. Solid album, and definitely a great work
