The four hundred and thirty-third album: #433 The Police - Reggatta de Blanc

It feels like the end of the seventies has another explosion in music styles as happened a decade earlier after the Beatles split. Post-punk, the rise of new wave has just started and The Police goes for a reggae rock fusion that works for the most part - it creates a unique sound that identifies the band for me and the known tracks like Message in a Bottle is really good, but I don't think I enjoy a full album of the same as there are diminishing returns to the sound for me - No Time This Time makes for a good closer by avoiding it in favour of a more punk-focused end of the album.
