Album Notes
The Police: Sting (vocals, bass); Andy Summers (guitar); Stewart Copeland (drums).Recorded at Wissellord Studios, Hilversum, Netherlands.For their third album, the Police, now official megastars, began to move away from the new wave-reggae hybrid they introduced on their first two releases. There's a bit more funk in the rhythm section on tunes like "Driven To Tears" (a tune that also represents a heightened socio-political bent in the lyrics). Andy Summers' avant-garde roots are also more apparent here, as on the eastern-flavored "Behind My Camel," and the quirky, abstract tone of "Shadows in the Rain." On the ominous-but-catchy "Don't Stand So Close To Me" Sting plays Cole Porter, rhyming "shake and cough" with "Nabokov." The album is best known for the monster hit "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," ostensibly a nonsense song, but under the surface the lyrics bear a serious message about global alienation and postmodern disaffection.
