Dietmar, You've got more patience than I do - I finally gave up on Sting a couple of albums ago. He's been steadily declining into boring for years now. So I've got to disagree with Paul - I for one do not want a new Police album - I don't think Sting's material is good enough anymore! I just want a Police Tour! Looking forward to Andy's record...

All the positive things I can say about "Sacred Love"

Hi here's my summary of the positive aspects of "Sacred Love": ... that's no joke I don't want to start any trouble in the mailing list...but compared to this record BND was a masterpiece. I'm just bored by the new record. If anyone is interested I can go into detail. Dietmar

I think that fate was sealed years ago, and the key thrown away at the RRHall of Fame. I guess the second best thing keeps me coming back. I do look forward to checking out Andy's new CD though for a bit of nostalgia. Won't be the same without Sting's voice or Stew's drumming. Michelle

But wait, we haven't heard from Rich yet! There may be more in your club!!! I hope this doesn't read in a bad way, I'm certainly meaning it lightheartedly---we all have our opinions and it's fun to share them! And Teri, I know EXACTLY how you fell about the "old fogie" thing. My husband is 13 years older than me (sting's age, actually) and when he asked how the CD was after the first listen I told him he'd probably really like it. Yikes! I couldn't explain it to him as I was pleading my case to go to NY, so I couldn't tell him I didn't love it yet! There's no way he would have let me go! We must be twins separated at birth, Teri, as so often you send out my thoughts! Maybe the same age...

"Sting Dog". :D I really didn't have a problem with "Send Your Love" (and even liked the remix better--go figure), but I don't have to listen to it again for a while. It stays with you well enough. :) As for the rest of the album, it's going to take a while for me to get into it, I think. I'm having Mercury Falling Syndrome--I had that CD a year before I found a song I really wanted to listen to and could get into the album. That was the only time I ever had a problem with a Sting album. I'm thinking it was really my taste in music going through transition, and not corresponding with him. That may be the case again. On first listening a few songs sounded (dare I say) fogie-ish to me. You can imagine how horrified I felt. I thought, am I no longer aging with him, or what? Do I find myself preferring his younger sound? Then, I listened to a remix CD I received yesterday, to that fabulous jellybean b. version of "If You Love Somebody...". What I realized is that I'm not ready for a more James Taylor-ized Sting yet (I may never be). *sigh* I've avoided it for a few days, but will give it a listen again tonight. I'm positive that the songs will sound far superior live (which was what finally brought me around to MF).

Hi > Give it a chance, Dietmar! Upon first listen, I couldn't say I loved it, > but after taking a break for a couple days, I'm getting there! There are a few > songs that I love now, and I'm sure with each listen, it'll only get better. > > there's just one part on the whole CD which is promising, it's about five seconds before every chorus in THIS WAR. I wanted to skip every song after two minutes. No catchy or interesting melodies (to my ear). My girlfriend shares this view (she bought the record - poor girl). She already tried a second time and thinks about giving it to a friend. > There are only a few CD's in my life I can say I loved upon first listen, > and oddly enough, none of Sting's solo CD's are one of them! I've grown to > love them. I think it's a good thing though. He's brought us on a long journey, > trying to open our minds to different things (in my case---country music). > I experienced that on MF, where I thought it were a bad record, but at least some songs on the CD were good from the start. Now I think it's a very good record. > Don't play that CD until Thursday, OK??? > Michelle you bet! Dietmar
