......................... In England hatte die Band schon alles erreicht; mit dem dritten Album eroberten sie die Welt. Das Album kam auf Platz drei in den USA; die Folge war ein ausverkaufter Madison Square Garden Anfang 1981. Auf Punk war längst New Wave gefolgt, wo sich die Band wesentlich besser verorten konnte – ein Song wie „Don’t Stand So Close To Me“ kommt da schon fast einer Genre-Definition gleich. Eine verdiente Top Ten-Single, neben dem Ohrwurm „De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da“ der erfolgreichste Song eines Albums, das wahrscheinlich am ehesten von allen Police-LPs das quintessentielle ist… – ............................................................

........... Album Notes ...........
The Police: Sting (vocals, bass); Andy Summers (guitar); Stewart Copeland (drums).Recorded at Wissellord Studios, Hilversum, Netherlands.Recording information: Wisseloord Studios, Hil Versum, Netherlands.Photographers: Watalu Asanuma; Danny Quatrochi; Miles Copeland.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.
