This is a classic record because every member Andy Summers, Sting, and last but not least Stewart Copeland all deliver on this record. The first track next to you is a great vocal song by sting, and it is a great drum song. So lonely is another classic. The vocals are so hypnotizing, and a great bassline, and a good guitar solo as well.Roxanne is good too.Roxanne starts with a ragae riff and cuts into the ragae backbeat. Not the best song ever, but album rock stations love it.Hole in my life isn't the best song on here because its a little too long to not have a solo or a diffrent something, but they do it good live. Peanuts is a great song, i guess it is anti drug because of the lyrics. Great solo and vibe, good drums and bass. Can't stand losing you is also a great song and has weird phaser effects on the solo. The riff is alot like roxxane's riff.Truth hits everybody is my favorite on the album because of the melodies in the vocals and bass, i cant remember if it has a solo.Born in the 50's is a pretty cool song but it is a classic filler for the album.I am not much foe be my girl-sally, but i like the story behind it.Masgoa tanga? don't remember that one.

The classics on here are classics for a reason. Most of the other tracks aren't as memorable.

Not bad for a debut, but I didn't enjoy the first half of the album. Nor 'So Lonely' or 'Roxanne' are that really memorable.

Most debut albums are not as consistent as Outlandos D`Amour, The Police`s first studio album. It includes the classics Next To You, Roxanne, Can`t Stand Losing You, So Lonely and Truth Hits Everybody plus a bunch of underrated tracks such as Hole In My Life, Peanuts, Born In The 50`s, and the closing track Masoko Tanga. However, I can live without Be My Girl/Sally, which, while it is fun to listen to, it begins to get boring after some spins. Anyway, this is a must buy for any serious Police freak.

The Police's first outing combined exceptional, high energy playing with mostly great songs. When they do connect on songs such as "Roxanne", "So Lonely" and "Can't Stand Losing You", it's a roundhouse punch to the jaw. The energy of their performances is infectious and was already of a higher caliber than most of their British Punk contemporaries. But it was Police's stylistic diversity that made them even more intriguing. Arguably, The Jam's Paul Weller was writing better songs at this point in time. Point being that the consistency of their songwriting here wasn't yet there, but would quickly mature over their following albums. It's during the second half of this record that the songs seem a bit more lightweight and forgettable. Still, I don't want to downplay the importance of this record and do consider it to be nearly excellent. This is a smashing start to The Police's career.

Outlandos d'Amour's major issue is Sting's recognizable vocals, which are mostly great and fit the band's classy sound; occasionally, though, he kinda goes a bit over-the-top with his delivery. The other two members - Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland - are up to speed as the group is more than capable of writing such iconic tracks like "Roxanne," "Can't Stop Losing You," "Peanuts," and the stylish closer "Masoko Tanga".
