AWESOME

This has to be one of my favorite Sting albums ever. Or actually , one of the best albums ever.

Second only to Sting's first solo album

I loved Sting's first solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles, from when it was first released during my early post-graduate years. Although I appreciated the title of his next album (taken from a line in Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"), I was never as enamored with his second or third solo efforts. However, my belated discovery of Sting's fourth solo album, Ten Summoner's Tales, caused me to fall in love with his melodic, expressive voice all over again.



The best-know from this song, "Fields of Gold," didn't appeal to me when it was being overplayed on the radio, but I've come to appreciate its sweet, gentle qualities. My favorite song on the album is "Seven Days," which contains great lines/plays on words reminiscent of some of the Police's best work; plus, it has an upbeat, sing-out-loud chorus. Other fun songs from this album include "Love is Stronger Than Justice," "She's Too Good for Me," and "Epilogue (Nothing 'Bout Me)." However, I prefer the album's more soulful tunes, particularly "Heavy Cloud (No Rain)" and "It's Probably Me." All and all, this is a can't-miss album for Sting fans and most fans of the Police as well.

This album is ridiculous...

...ridiculously good. I've no hesitation in giving it five stars. From beginning to end it's spectacular. I can think of few solo artists with the quality of Sting's music, at least for my tastes.
