The debut album by The Police, Outlandos d’Amour may not have their signature sound that they later developed. It does however give a glimpse into the band as they were beginning. With short punchy songs, it’s easy to forget that Sting, Stewart Copeland, and Andy Summers are accomplished musicians. This is something in fact they tried to hide so they would appear more “punk”. This album definitely has the energy of punk rock, but with more of a pop sensibility.
