@thommytaranto I find it hard to believe that anyone with musical sensibilities wouldn't find this album to be a masterpiece -- but then I love Sting's music in general. I sometimes think that people who are put off by Sting's persona can't bring themselves to admit that how good his music really is. I know I've been guilty of similar sentiments regarding artists whose public personality I have trouble swallowing... And yes, Vinnie is inseparable from the genius of this album.

@MaroMeshuggah The genius of the groove is created by the cymbal in straight quarter notes -- on 1,3,5,7 in one bar, 2.4.6 in the next. This disguises the 7 and gives the illusion of something regular like 4/4, except, of course, there is nothing of 4/4 anywhere. To me, this sort of disguise is what makes for a great "odd time signature" song -- makes it swing. Like Gabriel's "Solisbury Hill," where some instruments play the 7 as 3+4 while others play it as 4+3

Knockout track, with a seriously kick-arse organ solo midway through; best song on the album

Not his best album and he rather sticks to safe, formulaic, cliche arrangements but, hey, it's Sting and people bought it because he's, well, Sting.
