In Sync

Review Score: (10/10)
The Police reached their creative and commercial summit with the release of Synchronicity. Buoyed by the success of the haunting number one single "Every Breath You Take", the album spent a staggering 17 weeks at the top of the album charts. Sting is one of rock's best songwriters and he crafted an album that explores adult themes that usually don't equate into hit singles. Stuart Copeland's and Andy Summers' playing is superb and together the band tackle subjects like obsession in "Every Breath you Take", subservience in "Wrapped around Your Finger" and the monotany of every day life in "Synchronicity II". "Tea In The Sahara" is great song as is "King Of Pain" and basically the rest of the album. Unfortunately this would be the band's swan song as after Synchronicity and its supporting tour, they broke up. They have briefly reunited a few times, but to date have not released another full studio album together.
