Experiments in darkness

Review Score: (10/10)
At last, in our view the nearest the Police came to a classic album. Recorded in the relaxed surroundings of Monstserrat the Police moved away from their silly album titles and seemed to distance themselves from the "white reggae" tag. All the songs on this album are worthy of their inclusion. The poppy "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and the gloomy "Invisible Sun" were great singles and poles apart in style. Unsatisfied with Grace Jones' version, the band storm through a great version of "Demolition Man" and the back end of the album instead of being crammed with filler, actually has some good songs with "Omegaman", "Secret Journey" and "Darkness". Some don't like the album because of the move away from the traditional Police sound, with its horns and saxaphone, but to us that's its strength. Our favourite Police album.
