Awesome. I enjoy this album a lot. The Police is one of my all-time favorite bands and IMHO their material became progressively better through all 5 albums. I thought "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86" was a complete mess, though, so I'm glad they went out before a 6th album. Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving the Police is a worthwhile documentary of the band based on Andy Summers' memoir.
