It is the most rocking song on the album and Sting sounds amazing. Rated #90 in the best albums of 1983, and #5243 of all-time album.. The one you picked was The Police – ‘Synchronicity’. The song was subsequently given a second, and arguably more powerful, lease of life when Sting re-wrote the lyrics and contributed a new version to the series finale of satirical comedy Spitting Image. Or what the Police now is all about. Could they compete with the MONSTER that was Thriller by Michael Jackson? “Scylia”, “Charibdes”, “Mephistopheles”. They really broke up at the top of their game. That was it! I am now a little disappointed. Album Rating: 4.5Superb review for their best album, Zenyatta Mondatta being not far behind. Who does that?? The result is diverse and daring, with the most experimental tracks of the album front-loaded on side one and the “hits” reserved for the second side. Strong enough to supplant Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” on the pop charts and featuring one of the greatest pop songs ever constructed (Every Breath You Take), “Synchronicity’s” greatest redemptive aspect is it simply left everyone wanting more. It is an awesome track. 10. Sound Vapors was founded by Tommy Marz. Excellent compositions, but I somewhat got tired to listen to most of them. Now I know that the first two are references to Greek Mythology and the last is another name for the Devil. Fun fact: Weird Al covered King of Pain with King Of Suede. But the real kiss-off arrives when he decides that, "Every girl I go out with becomes my mother in the end", which makes him sound like someone only too happy to sit in his own shit rather than man up and face up to adult responsibilities. Which meant in any great compromise, and technically it was a compromise but actually, artistically it was something quite powerful and distinctive. I loved how different this song was from the others. MTV had played their previous songs quite often and I loved “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” and “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic”, but it wasn’t until “Synchronicity II” that I finally decided to actually buy one of their records. Especially after hearing what Stewart says about the lack of preparation. talk about hitting the "skip" button :'( Mine does! The song displays the instrumental genius of the band and production quality of Padgham and contains a rather traditional (and excellent) rock guitar lead by Summers. Summers vocals are raw, yet weirdly entertaining and some horn sounds are added to intensify the “insanity vibe”. The last song on the album is “Tea in the Sahara”. 5. You Pick It! Stewart and I politely and jokingly disagree on this point. The book was Paul Bowles’s “The Sheltering Sky” and the first part of the book is actually called Tea in the Sahara and is about 3 women waiting in the desert for the prince to have tea with them…uh…okay. My favourite of all time and near perfect. The song is about being under the control of another person and is another reason I feel they were so intelligent songwriters. he shrieks be before imploring, "Won’t she leave me alone?" I hate people that go on unrelated tangents. ‘Masters of Metal’ – Various Artists – Album Review, You Picked It! It was also the fifth best selling single of the entire decade. 1. It is hard to believe they only did 5 albums. but i would argue these three tracks, and particularly the latter two, keep this from being top of The Police heap So many people would dedicate this song to their girlfriend/boyfriend as a love song and not realize it is a rather creepy, disturbing song. I picked up the cassette for ‘Synchronicity’ back in 1983 and later I did pick up their entire collection on CD by buying their box set which had all their albums. As you said John this album was our starting point and it was the end of the band. It was nominated for five Grammy Awards and won three. He also sings on this one (or screams, whichever way you want to look at it). With the advent of post-punk, new pop, the nascent hip-hop scene and any number of bands bringing electronic music into the charts and mainstream consciousness, the first few years of the decade that came to be defined by strife, civil unrest and unfettered deregulation proved to be some of the most exciting times in music since the pop explosion of the 1960s. Album Rating: 4.5Granted Neil Young has virtually nothing to do with The Police, but that line prety much encompasses the entire theme of my review, I couldn't think of anything more fitting. Another big hit and one of my favorites is “King of Pain”. He obliges and says, “The extreme of that, is a song called Murder By Numbers. We had no idea how you do that but that was the trick he had up his sleeve. Mother Summers is barely in evidence throughout save for a number of punctuating chords. I never tire of Synchronicity II so that is the best one for me. Internecine squabbling which saw Copeland writing "Fuck off you cunt" across his drum heads to articulate his feelings to his singer, each beat being a metaphorical punch, and, despite an attempt to write a follow-up album, The Police quietly drew a veil over their career after one final concert in New Jersey’s Giant’s Stadium in 1986. The wrong place for it, is The Police, Why should he be arguing with Stewart about this, or Andy about that? He pulls out his book and he’s got a lyric for that. I will give it a 5.0 out of 5.0 Stars as I don’t find much of anything wrong with this one. Released 17 June 1983 on A&M (catalog no. Following my theme, here is the ultimate Police mix tape. “Mother” is a Summers composition that sounds like a cross between The Velvet Underground and Alice Cooper. They sounded important. Alright…You Picked It! Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for The Police - Synchronicity Concert at Amazon.com. The group took a break in 1982 in order to pursue outside projects. Reviews: 8. Review by Marc P April 25, 2003 (2 of 2 found this review helpful) Performance: Sonics: I finally received my copy from Amazon UK yesterday and I have listened to the SACD layer 3 times before writing this review. Album Rating: 4.5Thanks everyone, Jethro I would agree with your take on Zenyatta. But that “IT”, that Stewart and Andy bring to a song is the reason why people dream of one day hearing a new song from The Police. I would agree with most of that. Featured peformers: Sting (aka_text {bass guitar} role_id 1075.aka_text), Andy Summers (guitar), Stewart Copeland (drums), Hugh Padgham (producer, recording engineer), The Police (producer), Jeff Ayeroff (art direction, design), Norman Moore (art direction, … “Synchronicity I” starts the album with a synthesized arpeggio pattern accented by a driving bass and drum beat. The song is based off Carl Jung’s theory of Synchronicity and Sting told Time Magazine “Jung believed there was a large pattern to life, that it wasn’t just chaos. Here’s what makes it even harder to accept that there is not a new album. And that ain’t bad. Album Rating: 4.5Both Synchronicity ftw. I had three drum sets at the time that were identical. Man, that’s exciting. Album Rating: 2.5Hey, what happened to MrPoopular? Don't Stand So Close To Me I have to say it is a pretty sweet cover. 13. 3. 20. And they’re sort of working it out at the table there. But we would just be up against it. It is a rather simple and direct (albeit frantic) piece with some multi-vocal parts and harmonies by Sting that lyrically introduce Jung’s theory of the “collective unconscious”. This is what people pick up instruments to do, is to have the kind of collaboration and achieve that kind of power with music. The Cover – ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, Kiss – ‘Animalize Live Uncensored’ (1985) – Video Review (The Kiss Review Series), Rush – Counterparts Tour 1994 – Tour Program, Wendy O. Williams – ‘WOW’ (1984) – Album Review (Bonus Edition – The Kiss Review Series), Queen + Adam Lambert – ‘Live Around the World’ – Album Review, My Sunday Song – “Tenement Funster” by Queen. It still holds up today some 37 years later. 8. You put them in tight uniforms and try to shut them down but they will fall in love! What a way to go out. Sting wrote it and was inspired by his break up with his then wife at the time.
