If you listen to Walking On The Moon at 'Roo, the lovely exaggerated delay effect iis back in the hih hats and Snare during chorus..;and now it's nearly SKANKING again !!
Thanks
While you're at it, as Sting obviously doesn't want to drop it, why not have a go at retrying a different arrangement of Don't Stand ?:
At this moment in time Sting's bass is not doing anything, Andy's tremelo simplicity doesn't go anywhere. Sting should choose a more monotone melody for the chorus voice....
Just my two cents

I think it's not Sting by the police's voice. It's the voice of Sting Solo. It makes me feel like there is something wrong in the chemistry.
He has not to prove he can sing well, now. The purpose is about all 3 instruments and the voice.
And I think, it kind of deserves the songs, because thru his lyrical attitude, there are big reminiscences of Sting Solo.
Due to Sting : the songs we here now, are closer to Sting solo than to the original.
Andy and Stewart are BACK, but Sting seem not completely there ! Is he messing the “rendez-vous”? Is he somewhere else in mind? Is he uncomfortable about where the police can bring him?
Is he considering “Police reunion” as a break in the career of “Sting solo”. Whereas it should be “Sting solo” was a break in the history of the “Police”.

Sting brings back his Taurus Moog pedals again, but he should use them more often, especially in the DSSCTM intro!
I've noticed second pedals at his right foot, I think it's the same I use in my band, the Roland PK-5.
I guess he uses them for starting samplers....

Philip, I like your quote:

I agree with you...
