Comments

In arguably the worst year in music, this Album was pretty tight.

Following the demise of The Prince of Punk, UK Band The Police released this gem of an Album. They dropped all the soft stuff from "Outlandos d'Amour", and started making actual music. After being immediately greeted by "Message in a Bottle", I knew the Album would be pretty bomb, and it was. It was a pretty sweet Album, even with random shit thrown in for the hell of it. 

The Album is "Reggae", but's more like "New Wave Rock", which is kind of a nice change from listening to over 2 hours of blues.
