Album Review
Although The Police's fifth release, 1983's "Synchronicity", would be their most commercially successful and lead to a sold-out tour of enormodomes (including New York's Shea Stadium), it would turn out to be the trio's final album and tour. Like all Police recordings, "Synchronicity" contains some obvious "filler" (such as the silly dinosaur tale of "Walking In Your Footsteps" and the almost unlistenable "Mother"), but for the most part, it's exceptional. One of 1983's biggest singles, the haunting "Every Breath You Take," is an obvious highlight, as well as other hits - the cacophonic rocker "Synchronicity Ii," plus the far more temperate "Wrapped Around Your Finger" and "King Of Pain." Also included are the oft-overlooked tracks "O My God," "Synchronicity I" (used as a concert opener on the ensuing tour), "Tea In The Sahara," "Murder By Numbers," and the Stewart Copeland original "Miss Gradenko." Few other albums from 1983 merged tasteful pop, sophistication, and expert songwriting as well as "Synchronicity" did, resulting in yet another all-time classic. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
