Product Description

CD Description

Fancy knowing you were going to break up and yet be able torecord and produce this masterpiece. The world domination of the Police was as calculated and planned as was their departure. Each of the intervening albums have something specialbut the power of tracks such as 'Synchronicity II', and thehaunting quality of 'Every Breath You Take' (you really believe Sting when he says, 'I'll be watching you') give this record the edge. The only tracks less than brilliant are Summers' and Copeland's offerings, a fact of which they must allhave been aware. They bowed out while they were still winning.

4.0 out of 5 stars mellow masterpiece, 29 May 2007
To hardcore Police fans of yesteryear, this album could have been construed as a disappointment. Who cares? The fact that this album was a monumental best seller that appealed to millions of people is a testament to its finely crafted pop tunes.

Sure, there are a couple of dogs on this album, namely the excrutiating Mother, the less than overwhelming Murder by Numbers, and the pointless Miss Gradenko. However, these tracks are more than made up for by the searing intensity of Synchronicity II, the brilliant Wrapped Around Your Finger, and galactico uber hit Every Breath You Take.

Here we have a three piece band at the very height of their song writing and musical powers - the perfect time to call it a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bowing Out With Style, 18 Aug 2005
This is the final visit of The Police to the studio (with the exception of the horribly revamped Don't Stand So Close To Me) and it's a good way to go out - arguably their best album. Musically diversifying still further, this ranges from dreamy songs like Tea In The Sahara and Wrapped Around Your Finger to out-and-out rock with the brilliantly dark Synchronicity II, which still makes me laugh with delight - "we try to shout above the din of our rice krispies"! Lryically and musically superior to all their previous efforts, it is a fitting final offering from a great band. It has to be 5 stars for this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the very best rock albums, 29 Feb 2004
By Gontroppo "Music and Theology Lover" (Bathurst, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Synchronicity has all of the ingredients I love in Sting's music: great tunes, insightful lyrics, great harmonies and infectious rhythms. The Police are at their finest on this album.
Every track is a gem and the album has great variety: there is a lot more to it than Every Breath You Take and Wrapped Around Your Finger.

This is one of the best albums by any artist. Highly recommended.
