Synchronicity
The Police

My much older brother absolutely loved The Police, so heard a lot of this growing up. It's definitely good, with that early-80s post-pink, hint of reggae, smattering of electronica vibe. But somehow it also (still) feels like it's trying to hard. Aside from the title tracks, it's strangely lacking in heart - probably because they hated being anywhere near each other by this point ("can we just get this finished now please")
