Not sure what all the hullabaloo is all about, it's just another 80's band reunion tour.
The Police were once categorized by one magazine as 'blue eyed reggae' which I found pretty accurate, and in the words of the great one 'reggae is vile' then he continued to say "it's music for the mentally deranged" I believe. So it is rather uncomplicated music, that's why these shitty pub bands cover them so much. "walking on the moon - Da doo doo da da diddy diddy - Roxanne etc."
Having said all that, I like some reggea, Steel Pulse, Marley (of course) and of course UB40 when they're performing their own songs.I thought the first two Police albums were excellent, then I got rather bored with them.
