Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ARE YOU ALL MAD ?Every single song on this CD seems designed to drive you mad . Awful pretentious smart-arsery that at the time was designed to make punk acceptable to the very people who didn't want it anywhere near their nice stereo's . The only consolation ( albeit a slim one ) is that at least it's better than Sting's solo stuff . But then , so is dysentery . Rating:  - Great blend of rock & reggaeThis is a superb collection of Police singles, from the early days of Roxanne and Can't Stand Losing You - both of which were considered controversial songs because of their subject matter. The Police very successfully integrated reggae rhythms into their sound, as demonstrated by the aforementioned and by later smashes like Message In A Bottle and Don't Stand So Close To Me. My other favourites include Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Spirits In The Material World and Every Breath You Take. Not everything here has stood the test of time well - De Do Do Do is one those irritating novelty numbers that I skip when listening to this album. These songs, although mostly simple and catchy, are a cut above simple pop because of their clever lyrics ... Read More: Rating: - A really good summaryA very good collection for the casual fan, "Greatest Hits" gathers the Police's most succesful singles, and since they were mostly a singles band, that's pretty much everything most people will need. All their most accessible songs are here; "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic", "Don't Stand So Close To Me", Can't Stand Losing You", the larynx-shredding "Roxanne", and of course Sting's and Andy Summers' subtle reworking of "Stand By Me" - the classic "Every Breath You Take". (What? You don't believe that song is based on "Stand By Me"? Listen to the chord changes. Or ask Keith Richards, because I hadn't noticed it either until I read an interview with him where he mentions the Police and those two songs.) Anyway, ...

Some of the best creativity and simple song writing around! Rating: - Quite simply the best Police compilation out thereThere are quite a few Police/Police-Sting compilations doing the rounds at the moment. Avoid all of them and buy this ! Greatest Hits is just that, a sixteen-track, chronologically correct retropsective which provides us with all the big hit singles, plus a couple of classic album cuts such as Beds To Big Without You, Tea In The Sahara and the utterly brilliant power-pop of Synchronicity II (a US single). With Sting's ever-thoughtful lyrics, Andy Summers' sublime muscianship (he was the real cornerstone of the band) and Stuart Copeland's brilliantly tight percussion, there is something here for everyone. From the reggae-esque Roxanne (1978), the gorgeous simplicity of the bass-line on Walking On The Moon (1979), the pure pop joy of Every Little Thing ... Read More: |
