Product Description

The stage was set for the Police to become one of the biggest acts of the '80s, and the band delivered with the 1980 classic Zenyatta Mondatta. The album proved to be the trio's second straight number one album in the U.K., while peaking at number three in the U.S. Arguably the best Police album, Zenyatta contains perhaps the quintessential new wave anthem, the haunting "Don't Stand So Close to Me," the story of an older teacher lusting after one of his students. While other tracks follow in the same spooky path (their second Grammy-winning instrumental "Behind My Camel" and "Shadows in the Rain"), most of the material is upbeat, such as the carefree U.S./U.K. Top Ten "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da," "Canary in a Coalmine," and "Man in a Suitcase." Sting includes his first set of politically charged lyrics in "Driven to Tears," "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around," and "Bombs Away," which all observe the declining state of the world. While Sting would later criticize the album as not all it could have been (the band was rushed to complete the album in order to begin another tour), Zenyatta Mondatta remains one of the finest rock albums of all time ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

リアルタイムで聴いてたときは、このアルバムの評価は自分では低かったんだけど、今聴いてみると粒ぞろいの楽曲ばかりでなかなか名作です。キーボードが大幅導入される前のポリスらしい傑作。

初のベスト盤が発売された際に①が録音し直されて「すわ！再結成か！？」と世間が色めき立ったのもいまは昔、それにしてもド派手なひどいアレンジだった。転換期の作品で次作ともどもポップ、前作と前々作は（腕の上がるトリオが演奏した）ひと味違う屈折ニュー・ウェイヴ、次々作は別格でもうプログレッシヴといっていい。

始めて⑦｢DeDoDoDo,DeDaDaDa｣を聴いた時はｻﾋﾞのﾌﾚｰｽﾞが頭にこびり付いてｸﾞﾙｸﾞﾙ頭の中でﾌﾚｰｽﾞが回ってたな~!!全体的には聴きやすく多少ﾎﾟｯﾌﾟになって来た印象は受けたが､相変わらずｼﾞｬﾑりながら作った感じが気に入ってる☆
