re: The Last Ship I've seen lots of folks who like it. I am not one of those. Without going into details, which I'm sure no one really cares about since they are my personal opinions, it's not for me. At all. I tried. I really did. I clung to those hints of Soul Cages. I attempted to overlook his weirdly affected voice. I told myself to listen to the STORIES he's telling. Nope. Still didn't work. I really disliked most of the songs. There were a couple where I thought "Ok, this doesn't make me want to stick a pencil in my eye." But I had to stop listening halfway through the extra Amazon CD. I was physically recoiling at each next song (I know that sounds extreme, but that's pretty much my response to most musicals anyway). More power to him, but it seems like (yet another) vanity project (though, more heartfelt and personal, so I'll give him credit for that). I haven't liked anything Sting has done (except the Reunion) since Brand New Day in 1999. Damn, that's a long time ago. :( Anyway, just my two cents. Happy listening to the rest of you.

Honestly not much to discuss lately. Everything from lute on was not on my top list at all. Last time I guess between Sacred Love tour (was it almost 10 years ago?) and perhaps Symphonic arrangements the rest was somewhat uninspiring for me in terms music by Our Man! I almost lost my faith... almost! So this album came out right on time and fixed it all! I mean his is the combination of lyrics and music that in my mind represents what Sting is and why he is still a quality mark in the modern world of pop music. Folk music references work just fine for me! So I'm with Bruce here - it is classic! Loving the revisits of Soul Cages! Happy to have Our Man back on track so to speak! :) Xoxo Panda from Latvia p.s. Something went wrong with my post last night... so I'm re sending it. Skip it if you saw it first time round! _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police
