HOLY SHIT
Rehumanize Yourself is a favorite of mine
>>127851754great album, but picrel is still GOAT
For me, it's Demolition Man
>>127851754yeah, it's a really great album"underrated" if you can say that about an album that was #1 the day it was released>>127851882going ot have to say Ghosts In The Machine is superior.and that guitar in Omegaman!
Ghost in the Machine [A&M, 1981]It's pointless to deny that they make the chops work for the common good--both their trickiness and their simplicity provide consistent pleasure here. But with drummer, manager, and booking agent all scions of a CIA honcho, I have my doubts about their standing as a progressive force. Whether you're following in the old man's footsteps, offing the motherfucker, or striving for a livable compromise, roots like that leave you twisted, if only to the tune of a middlebrow cliché like Sting's "There is no political solution." In the kindest construction, say their politics are as astute, liberal, and well-meaning as those of Pete "Won't Get Fooled Again" Townshend, who also needs reminding that we're not just spirits in the material world--we're also matter in the material world, which is why things get sticky.

i like the one where theyre in the trianglei think its orangeor maybe blue?
>>127852440why is this hack still alive?
>>127852440>mah dialectical materialism
>>127852440this nigga reads the village voice lmao
>>127852440The CIA swings both waysFuck you, you're old
>>127852527Zenyatta Mondatta.I really like Voices Inside My Head from that one.
>>127852440>thousand cock staredoes anyone actually care what this boomer thinks or is this Christgau posting all bots?also, nobody gives a fuck if the Police were a CIA psyop - they made some great records.
>>127853211look at this retard
Rehumanize yourself is One World but way better to the point where the latter should have been cut. Also the omegaman -> secret journey -> darkness closing track flow kicks ass
>>127851754It took me a few listens to like Ghost in the Machine. Zenyatta Mondatta, Synchronicity, and Reggatta de Blanc were instant masterpieces. I am of the opinion that Men at Work’s Business as Usual is how Ghost in the Machine should’ve sounded: It blends the horns better into that unique sound the Police had on Zenyatta Mondatta better than Ghost in the Machine did.>>127853181My favorite of theirs and AOTD for the 80’s. I wish more bands took this style. Very little sounded like it before and you have to make a concerted effort to sound like Zenyatta Mondatta since.>>127853211The Copeland brothers were involved with a ton of bands mu talks about a lot: REM, Nine Inch Nails, Morrissey, XTC, and The Cure off the top of my head. It’s a shame the CIA isn’t more involved with the music industry.
>>127856571Funny you should say that. Their parents were both CIA agents.
