Our Review

Certifiable boasts a whopping 19 songs from the Police's 2007 reunion concert at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Right from the first verse of "Message In a Bottle," Sting is singing with the well-preserved voice of a young man, hitting his high-notes with an effortless cool even more noticeably on the opening howls at the beginning of "Synchronicity II." Similarly, Stewart Copeland's drumming prowess hasn't lost any luster as evidenced by "Walking On the Moon" and technically he's a better player in that those live tempos don't speed up when letting loose on his signature reggae and ska-inspired fills. (If you've ever seen old live footage of guitar player Andy Summers yelling at Copeland to slow down, you might notice this right away). By "Roxanne" it's apparent that some of these songs are being played in a lower key so that Sting can hit the falsettos, but other songs like "King of Pain" and "Every Breath You Take" sound like the band hasn’t changed since 1983.

Certifiable is a must have record for any serious fan of The Police. Recorded during the band's 2007 reunion tour over two nights in Argentina; the live recording and mixing is masterful. The band's densely layered arrangements of some of their best known material plus a few prized deep cuts offers a perfect blend of songs which span across their five studio albums. What is most satisfying is how The Police have managed to make these songs w

Mistake in the official iTunes Review (4 stars)
Who wrote this iTunes Review?!! Andy Summers is the GUITAR player in the Police, STING is the bass player. Even someone with a passing knowledge of the Police knows this. Sheesh!

Biography

Formed: 1977 in London, England
Genre: Rock
Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Nominally, the Police were punk rock, but that's only in the loosest sense of the term. The trio's nervous, reggae-injected pop/rock was punky, but it wasn't necessarily punk. All three members were considerably more technically proficient than the average punk or new wave band. Andy Summers had a precise guitar attack that created dense, interlocking waves of sounds and effects. Stewart Copeland could play polyrhythms effortlessly. And Sting, with his high, keening voice, was capable of constructing...
