I don't know maybe is me but after Nothing Like The Sun Sting just kinda got boring.

I really enjoyed Brand New Day...

You don't ever lie

^He seemed to have got on the same boat as Phil Collins and Elton and go Adult Contemporary.

Yeah, he went very slow. And seemed to want to make boring love songs

I love the ''weird'' Sting, the stalker, i'll sleep with my teacher & yell c..t really loud Sting.

I would tend to agree with you if we're talking cetain singles like Fields of Gold or When We Dance, but i wouldn't necessarily put him with Phil or Elton. I think Sting's music had a teeny bit more edge and his stuff was never really super romantic like those guys. I mean, The Soul Cages was all about his dad's life and death and his regret over not being a sailor. Yeah he mellowed some by Sacred Love but the songs were much more exciting than anything Phil and Elton has out there recently.

I think Sting said his later records weren't really selling that much, so he records what he wants and not try to make songs to get on the radio and be a pop star.

I hope he does a rock album...... that would be great....

Can you believe it's been almost 10 years since the last original Sting album, Sacred Love? I loved that record too. Brand New Day not so much. I think it's time for something new, yes? [Edited 2/27/12 9:26am]

No. If it ain't broke, why try to fix it.

The same goes for U2, Simply Red, Phil Collins and Elton John. I'd be more excited if Don Johnson decided to release another album.

Don Johnson?!! Guess you don't think much of Sting. I thought Brand New Day was great. But, then, that was the last CD of his I bought and really listened to. Some really good songs on that one IMO.

Sheesh....i guess there aren't many Sting fans in this place

I could use one! I miss his songwriting.

Ten Summoner's Tales is my favorite of his.

I played that tape to death until I got the CD.

I got into his music again when he visited my country last year and got his Symphonocities CD & DVD.

It's great!

true!

thanks to this thread, I listened to "The Soul Cages" while at work...and wow, what an amazing album that was....so focused since it was a concept album regarding his father's death...great production, has aged very, very well....I'm still holding out hope that we get a new Police one day...

new Police

I don't see that happening. They had opportunity to record during the 2007 tour, but didn't. Then again The Eagles finally released an album of new material in 2007, after reuniting in 1994. It was their 1st since 1980. But to me, the odds of the Police releasing new songs is about the same as Peter Gabriel rejoining Genesis.

The Soul Cages rivals ...Nothing Like The Sun for me. It's so amazing. I wish I was in that band that recorded that album.

Have you heard 'The Chicago Sessions?' I'm a Sting fan, even saw him live.

I like 'Sacred Love.' 'If On A Winter's Night' is not typical Sting. The least listened to Sting album for me.

Nah totally disagree on the Elton Front, and in some ways Phil too. I mean fair to say guys like Rod Stewart, Seal, Michael Mcdonald sold to that audience now. But Elton and his type of songs are not that different, songs on say, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, possibly his best record ever, songs like Harmony, Candle in the Wind, or even take his hits like Your Song, Rocket Man, Sorry Seems to be, Someone Saved my life tonight, had they come out now, they would not be Top 100 hits theyd be stashed on the LITE station, so forgetting maybe the Lion King, which was not normal Elton. The change in elton is his voice, its deeper, but that wasnt by choice it was for his health and singing again or just letting a tumour grow in his thoat so he would sound like Tom Waits. So in Elton's respect, he didnt really change, had the HITS from then that we praise and worship, they wouldnt even get on the radio now unless they were on the LITE station. Its all age now, you can even have a rockier song, like Air Supply did on thier latest album as the lead single, it was a top 30 ac hit, furthest thing from AC. so i dont buy it, we put things in a box too much now because of playlists on ipods etc..

time for sting to do shumshing. loved bring on the night movie n album .. dream of turtles rocks me along w nothing like th sun .. rip Kenny Kirkland

Sting is a bad man. I agree it's time for a new project to drop.
