Ghost In The Machiggity



Critical re-evaluation: This is their best record. Sophisticated take on their punk/dub hybrid, but just before Sting disappeared forever up his own ass (although "Secret Journey" implied the end was near).

Best record cover by far, too.

The Police - "Invisible Sun"

I completely agree...especially side two for me. I love Secret Journey especially, and darkness too.

I'm with you. "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" is in my Top 10 pop songs ever. Love "Omegaman," too.

agreed. all the snchronicity sophistication but with the early albums' total ass-kickery. as beesh once eloquently said, 'it's amazing that they executed so well when they already hated each other.'

some of his worst lyrics.

every little thing also in my top 10 of all time.

and rehumanize yourself is a JAM and oh, my god, SO PONCEY.
