Best 'Police' except for one song...

Review Score: (8/10)
This is a great album. Commercially successful beyond belief. But, one song keeps this from a rating of 5 stars... "Mother". Rolling Stone Magazine voted this song "One of the 10 worst songs EVER recorded". I agree. Great songs range from "Synch I & II", "King of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger", "Tea in the Sahara", - the list goes on. Stings voice is as always, mesmerizing. Andy's guitar playing is tight and fluid. Stuart's drumming is complex and seemingly effortless. These 3 guys made some beautiful music together. It's a shame they didn't put out more material.
