I thought this review was interesting. MUSIC REVIEWS: Bowie and Sting's latest, Warren Zevon's last E-mail Story to a Friend Printer Friendly September 27, 2003 The Christian Science Monitor (CSM) - Here's a challenge: Try getting past the opening track on David Bowie's new album without hitting the repeat button. Sting - Sacred Love (A&M): There's plenty of stubble on Sting on the cover of "Sacred Love." The album, however, is too clean-shaven for its own good. Although this is the songwriter's strongest collection of melodies since "Ten Summoner's Tales" a decade ago, it's smothered by a studio sheen that is so smooth, so urbane, so bloodless that this record is destined to be piped into Pottery Barn stores everywhere. Several glorious tunes do manage to rise above the gloss: Sting's meditations on love - in both the personal and global realm - shine brightest on "Never Coming Home" and "Send Your Love."
