What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Any thoughts on how the two compare?

Well, I couldn't have read it and I wouldn't know about it. This kind of discussion is important in this thread anyway. In my case I rarely review, I find difficult to put my feelings for music into words, so most of my tiny musical opinions are scattered throughout this thread

I've listened only Ghost in the Machine, and I think that is an album full of contrasts. The three first songs and the three last are great for me, but the middle part is forgettable. Various years after my first time with this album I can't remember any song excepting the opening or the ending.

Great fun.  The quality of those Police recordings are absolutely nuts. So so good. Ghost In The Machine is my favorite. Zenyatta Mondatta is my pick. And an awesome pick that is! Love Man in a suitcase. Song always puts a smile on my face.

I’ve always loved Behind My Camel and Shadows In The Rain, but there’s lots to like here.

It is a terrific boxset Jim.
The BBC John Peele Sessions are amazing recordings. Believe it is disc number 4. ;)
