- Nothing like the sun

"If Dream of the Blue Turtles was an unabashedly pretentious affair, it looks positively lighthearted in comparison to Sting's sophomore effort, Nothing Like the Sun, one of the most doggedly serious pop albums ever recorded ... So, why is it a better album than its predecessor? Because Sting doesn't seem to be trying so hard. It flows naturally, largely because this isn't trying to explicitly be a jazz-rock record (...) and because the melodies are insinuating, slowly working their way into memory, while the entire record plays like a mood piece - playing equally well as background music or as intensive, serious listening".
