Query: ehh.......

3 great songs save this album from the trash compactor: Thousand Years, Desert Rose, and Brand New Day. The rest of the music is filler junk; it's flat and uninspired. There's nothing wrong with experimenting, but French rapping mixed with jazz and pop just is not pleasing to the ears. He also writes another horrible country song on this one. Sting may also want to consider working with a lyricist in the future, as most of these lyrics are quite lousy. Pumping a dry well of inspiration, perhaps? He should get back with The Police- maybe all the fighting and conflict will stir up some emotions that he can use in his songs. A sad effort from a once great musician.
