This song was the one that Stuart said was the hardest to play, “What’s really hard is ‘Spirits in the Material World’. That’s hard”. There is a slightly Middle Eastern influence at play in his unique fill, with Copeland layering in the ‘pat your head, rub your tummy’ difficulty of occasionally omitting the bass drum on the downbeat to create a strange sense of jarring syncopation. As it happens, it’s hard to even place the downbeat, creating a rhythm section that you can get lost in.

As an old man, I can say I heard this same kind of comment now at less over 5 generations now nothing new under the sun give it a few years you will understand!

Jesus Christ the police put out a surplus of great music in a very short time together. That snare drum👍👍

In a word, tight- Stewart's drumming, Andy's guitar, Sting's Bass and the keyboards; nothing short of prodigious.

Sting was a counter-globalist before it was fashionable.

We have to learn that living in the material world is an illusion, our spirits are our true nature and really who we are. We must evolve at this point to love and have prosperity for all.

This song is pure genius!

Written and played on the radios back in 1981 but it is still topical today in 2023.

The greatest snare in Rock/Pop ever

This is real musical genius on display. Everything has a reason to be there and is super exact. No extra notes. That little repeated one-note keyboard part toward the end is so on-point.

I have been listening to The Police since they began. Recently I saw a video asking Mr. Copeland his most technical rhythm, this was the song. My mind was blown when he explained how minimal the sound actually was. Pure Genius.

This song still sets a certain mood and vibe 40 plus years later,,,❤

It POPS like a bottle of champagne. He's got that Remo skin tuned tighter than a mosquito's ass. Oh Stewart.

I've seen lots of great drummers past and present but Stewart's drumming talent is on a whole different level

I grew up with the Police in their heyday of the early-to-mid 1980's while studying at the University. It was the best of times....I just didn't know how great they actually were at the time.

So even in '23, it''s still an astounding track to listen to, never get's old. A great achievment from an era where the musicians recorded their pieces in the song to tracks on magnetic tape, sometimes in one take. That's what made them good )) However, their creative song writing skills elevated it all, to great heights.

What an amazing intro from Stuart's drum fill to Stings teally cool..'Oww' and the little Sax fills and Andy's amazing guitar synth cathedral sound.. Definitely one of their best songs.

Few bands equal the brilliance of The Police. Most of them don't belong in the same floor let alone the same building.
