The Police - Spirits In The Material World

Review by Platforms and Poles

Spirits In The Material World, the sixth studio album by the British rock band Police, was released in 1981. The album featured a blend of reggae, rock, and pop music, and was well received by critics and audiences alike.

The album's title track, "Spirits In The Material World," is a catchy and upbeat song that addresses the struggle between materialism and spirituality. The track "Invisible Sun" is a haunting ballad that deals with the political turmoil in Northern Ireland.

The album also features the hit single "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," a pop song that showcases the band's ability to create catchy hooks and melodies.
