Both great ratings. IN MY BOOK - I love the Police, and the individual's solo work BUT the problem I have with the Police is there is usually plenty of harmless but weak(ish) filler on their albums. Apologies to those who think these songs all rule.

Wow never knew anybody who followed Cooper through his whole career......Didn't much dig him joining the 80s metal scene, but I need to hear a lot of that music
I love this review for one reason....... You have rated WDWTWA so highly...My fave Purple album... You like, The Book Of Taliesyn, if you like the Simper Evans era, as I see you do. I paid little attention after HOBL, which I rate higher than most..
