This makes up for Synchronicity in so many ways.
This Album is The Police that I know and love. It's actual music this time, with an even blend of laid-back Reggae, and classic Rock. It's an astonishing compromise of sounds.
One of my favourite part of The Police is their choruses. They can instantly turn a bad song good with the catchy choruses that they wield.
Another great thing about The Police is the backup singers. Nobody ever touches the thought of backup singers, but The Police have fantastic backup that really add the kick that the Album stands for. It's a weird and almost unheard of form of criticism, but I thought it should get some kind of mention.
