Album Notes & Community Reviews

Refining the incredibly tight, highly distinctive reggae-punk fusion of their debut, The Police crafted a massive international blockbuster with 'Reggatta de blanc'. Driven by Stewart Copeland's remarkably kinetic, deeply rhythmic drumming and Sting's soaring vocal hooks鈥攅specially on 'Message in a Bottle'鈥攖he album is a fiercely energetic, brilliantly melodic pop-rock triumph.
