| The Police Albums Ranked
I posted a Sting review today, so here's a list to accompany it. Because The Police called it quits at the top of their game, all of their albums are really good -- my lowest rated album is still a 3. | | 5 |  | The Police
Ghost in the Machine
Last only last because the competition is so stiff. But some great songs here, including "Spirits in the Material World", "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" (how many songs did Sting repeat that line about the umbrella in after this one?) and "Secret Journey". | | 4 |  | The Police
Outlandos d'Amour
Their first album, and some pretty great songs here. Yes, "Roxanne" has been played to death, but I don't hold that against it. And other tracks like "Can't Stand Losing You" and "So Lonely" make this a pretty strong debut. | | 3 |  | The Police
Reggatta de Blanc
They showed some growth here from the first album -- this one is more cohesive. Plus songs like "Walking on the Moon", "Message in a Bottle", "Bring on the Night" and "The Bed's Too Big Without You" make it a winner. | | 2 |  | The Police
Zenyatta Mondatta
For years, this was my favorite Police album, until Synchronicity finally overwhelmed it. Highlights here include "Don't Stand So Close to Me", "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" and "Driven to Tears". | | 1 |  | The Police
Synchronicity
Seldom has a band broken up while at quite this high a level. This is a ridiculously good album. Includes great songs like "King of Pain", "Wrapped Around Your Finger" and "Synchronicity II", plus minor gems like "Murder By Numbers" and "Tea in the Sahara". And I guess "Every Breath You Take" is OK too. | |

09.08.17 | Yeah, they're a Dad band. But I'm a Dad, so it works. | ArsMoriendi
09.08.17 | I love "On Any Other Day" and "Spirits in the Material World" a lot
"De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" is awful though
I mostly know their hits without a few non-hits sprinkled in though
| DinosaurJones
09.08.17 | So Lonely is probably my favorite Police track overall, but they definitely wrote a lot of tasty jams. | neekafat
09.08.17 | 2 is 5, don't get the love for that one
Otherwise good ranking, mine would be 1,3,5,4,2 | Jethro42
09.08.17 | Nice list. I'd personally swap 4 with 5. They haven't found their sound yet for Outlandos d'Amour, except for the songs you mentioned.
1, 2 and 3 are all masterpieces for me. | BigHans
09.08.17 | lol I remember I reviewed all of their albums after I joined the site, like 8 years ago. Switch 3 and 5 and you have my ranking. | Sinternet
09.08.17 | 1 is an easy 1
good band, i'm a sucker for this kind of shit | Jethro42
09.08.17 | Yeah BigHans, one of all these good things you made for the site :)
I don't understand your hate for Reggatta de Blanc. No bad songs in it. The weakest are the last two ones and they're not half bad. | BigHans
09.08.17 | cheers Jethro. To be fair, I haven't listened to that album since I wrote the review. | Jethro42
09.08.17 | ^It's understandable if you under-esteemed it. But I just noticed you have it at a 3...
So you must be willing to give it another serious listen, so you could 3.5 it :) | Divaman
09.08.17 | That's kind of where I am with the Police, Jethro. My lowest two ranked albums are still rated as 3's. | BeyondCosby
09.08.17 | You forgot to put The Police (Greatest Hits) on here. | Jethro42
09.08.17 | @Diva, 3/5 is still good, but I think you're a bit harsh for them, especially for Ghost. There are so many gems in there. ''Too Much Information'' and ''Omegaman'' are the only skippable songs imo. | Titan
09.08.17 | 3 and 4 are my faves | ivanhowe2017
12.05.17 | My favorite Police albums: Reggatta de Blanc, Zenyatta Mondatta and Ghost In The Machine. Outlandos D`Amour is great,too and Synchronicity holds well, after all these years.
My Police albums rating:
1. Outlandos D`Amour: 4.5 stars
2. Reggatta de Blanc: 5 stars
3. Zenyatta Mondatta: 5 stars
4. Ghost In The Machine: 4.5 stars
5. Synchronicity:4 stars*
*One point off for "Mother".
