I agree with Paolo.  Touring for megabucks is "easy".  Whether they can create more special music is the challenge.  No doubt in my mind they could.  But Sting doesn't really care about that.  HE had a momentary lapse of reason and decided to reunite for a tour.  Would have preferred a new album but got to see my favourite band before I die.  That's A-okay with me.

Subject: [Police] A few thoughts

I don't understand why many people think a new Police album would be a bad idea.  Yes, they (The Police) have nothing to prove.  But, does that mean that Sting, Andy, and Stewart still have something to prove as individuals?  They've all proven themselves 10X over.  Are we better off if all three of them stop producing solo material?  Maybe they should all stop so that all of their work lives on as a legacy.
 
I think that is the wrong idea.  A new, successful Police album would be the ultimate challenge to all three.  Besides, I haven't heard much else about the police not making a new record except for the article that appeared in "The Sun".  I hope this is just a marketing exercise to push ticket sales for the third leg of the tour.
 
I'm keeping my fingers crossed like I've been doing for the past 20+ yrs.

Ciao a tutti from Giovanni.
I look forward to a New Sting album; I can only imagine what he is capable of after a Police tour.
Same for Stewart and Andy.
The Police are the past, sorry but The Police 'we want' is something from the past; why do you think they are not thinking about working on a new record? Simple: no great ideas probably, nothing that can push the name higher than where is now; the band did the best ever in the Eighties, did a fabulous reunion tour....what else? And why?
 
Remember: there is always a number of fans that will be disappointed if they will or they won't release a new album or many other reasons.
I simply trust their creativity and cleverness; the fact that they do not release an album is a sign that a new album won't be that interesting; if they will change their minds and will decide to do it, that means they found a good creative reason.
 
Giovanni
