Another hit for the Police

Review Score: (8/10)
In sharp contrast to much of the light-sounding music from the Police's debut album, Outlandos d'Amour, their follow-up album is generally much more serious and a little more depressed. The band focuses more on the instrumental side of the music in this album as opposed to their debut, which exclusively focused on the actual songwriting. "Message in a Bottle" is the best early-Police song, and "Walking on the Moon" and "Bring on the Night" added to that make this album easily worth getting. Another excellent song on this CD is the more commonly overlooked "The Bed's Too Big Without You." You will never find this song on a best hits album, nor will you find it among their top-selling hits of all time, but it is one of the Police's best songs, second best on this album. Instrumental title track is also a good effort, but much of the rest of the album lacks the intensity and depth of those songs already mentioned. This remains an album well worth getting
