Nothing Like the Sun. The title of this album comes from an experience Sting had with a drunk guy that grabbed him by the shoulders in the middle of a street and asked to him: How beautiful is the moon? and Sting remembered a verse from Shakespeare’s 130th Sonet, that said: My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun. And he like the response he gave, and had the title for his next album Nothing Like the Sun Q&A.

This is an album where the only up-tempo track, the only trifle - the cheerfully stiff white-funk "We'll Be Together" - was added at the insistence of the label because they believed there wasn't a cut on the record that could be pulled as a single, one that would break down the doors to mainstream radio. And they were right, since everything else here is too measured, calm, and deliberately subtle to be immediate (including the intentional throwaway, "Rock Steady"). So, why is it a better album than its predecessor? Because Sting doesn't seem to be trying.
