4.0 out of 5 stars The Police - REGGATTA DE BLANC (1979), August 5, 2006

This review is from: Reggatta De Blanc (Audio CD)

The sound of The Police evolved from pretentious punk rock to sharp new wave for REGGATTA DE BLANC, the group's second album and commercial breakthrough. There's still some high-velocity songs here ("It's Alright For You", "No Time This Time"), but the majority of the tracks are a little more laid-back. Half of REGGATTA DE BLANC features some of the band's best work, namely the classics "Message in a Bottle" and "Walking on the Moon", while the other half lacks the power and originality of some of the group's other compositions. The result is the group's most unfocused and weak effort; the band has admitted that many of the songs were written simply as filler. The album has many highlights, however (beside the aforementioned classics), including "The Bed's Too Big Without You", the Grammy Award-winning title track, "Bring on the Night", and Stewart Copeland's quirky, amusing "On Any Other Day". It's not a bad album, but it is the least impressive album from The Police's portfolio.
