I feel 'Sacred Love' is EASILY Sting's weakest album (including The Police).
It lacks passion and intensity. It sounds lazy. Most, if not all of the songs are repetitive, drawn out and lack any great melodies. He no longer sounds like he's SINGING anymore. He almost seems to talk to a beat. Listen to 'Dream Of The Blue Turtles', 'Nothing Like The Sun' and 'The Soul Cages' to see why I'm so disappointed.
I think some artists are too prolific for their own good and I wonder if Sting recorded 'Sacred Love' out of plain habit. I wish he was fussier with his track selections and took a little longer compiling this album. His albums have grown progressively worse since 'Ten's Summoner's Tales'.
Look at Peter Gabriel, his latest album 'Up' took ten years and it shows. It's as good as anything he's ever done.
