Must have this for the Shed version.......2001-07-08

Of course, being the webmaster of a Beth Orton fan site, I better own this. Now let me tell you why you should: The Shed version of "Stars All Seem To Weep".

I found the original version to be good, but it wasn't one of my favorites. The Shed version removes all barriers between the listener and the message of the song. Haunting string arrangements heighten the drama of the message: "I dreamed about you in the moonlit skies, and the stars all seemed to weep". Somehow the poetry of this song was not so evident in the original version, but it is now, and it's well worth the price of the entire CD just for this one song.

Stolen Car, yes, we've heard that. LOVE IT.

Good Single.......2005-08-06

First off, I have to say that I've been a HUGE Sting fan since his Police days. He's, by far, my most favorite muscial artist. I have almost every album he's ever done or been involved with, including the singles he's produced for movies and the live concert tracks.

This is not a "new album" by any means, it's simply one of the singles from "Sacred Love" and I believe it to be one of his best tracks. The original version features a very slick-sounding hero as he goes about stealing cars...but how he almost longs to live the better life. And he does so by imagining he's the rich owner of the fine cars he's ripping off. It almost feels like something Michael Mann would have used if he were still making "Robbery Homicide Division".

The second track has Sting simply singing the main chorus while "Will-I-Am" from the Black Eyed Peas raps his own story. I actually liked this track a lot mainly because it's sexy-sounding and almost feels like something that should be playing in a club in Downtown Miami. It also puts a slight Reggae Funk sound across the track and reminds me of the old-school Police in a way.

The final track features the rapper, Twista. I like this track because, a) it's danceable and b) Twista knows how to rap. Once again, Sting sings the chorus every so often. It has an East-Coast swing-rap feel to it.

This CD is worth buying, in my humble opinion, and just proves that Sting DOES get better with age. He's also open to interpretation. Sting didn't really have much to do in 2/3's of this disc but put his vocals in the chorus, something that can be dubbed in in an editing room. The first track was also produced long before the single came out...so the claim that Sting is "wasting his talent" is bunk, especially when all his songs are open to interpretation. It doesn't take talent to invite guest-artists aboard to remix something you've made and just treat your fans to something different.

Good song, good CD.

What's the point..........2005-01-10

with ALL these various remixes and versions? The song, the "album-extended-whatever-version" is really good - so when you want to buy the single you want THAT SONG, not totally "different" song -don't you??

This is the problem with many of todays' singles, also with Stings' - do we really want any other versions than studio or live? I know for sure I don't! What's the point in releasing singles when you don't get the song you want??

A Sting-fan.

Really Should Be Stolen.......2004-09-21

It is just so hard to imagine the best of artists with a littel alpse in their creativity these days. Sting is one of those few artists that really rarely has that happen. His song, Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing), the second track from Sting's 2003 Sacred Love record, isn't really as diverse of sof spoken to the message just like his previous single, Send Your Love. All in all, that really isn't one of Sting's most enjoyable tracks at all. The beat on this song and the lyrics actually didn't go all in together. For die hard Sting fans, they might not enjoy this one, and neither do I. Hopefully, he'll make some better songs than this one.

Real Sting Fan!.......2004-06-17

This is a very musically diverse cd- remixes and all, excellent. Sting is a real artist and he grows constantly. Any real Sting fan would know this. Sting loves bass and R&B music as well as rock & roll(read his book know his history) and any real sting fan would know he likes bass. This is a natural move in music for Sting. Sting is a very deverse and musically talented living legend. If you don't like what he is doing with his music now, don't listen, but don't say it is a waste of talent and the worst album he has made. REAL FANS KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE! Closed minded fans are not good for the industry and have no respect for the artist creative motivations. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but some people really need to keep it to themselves. Being an artist myself, destructive criticism is no good for the art form. If the the above reviewer has every Sting album, he would have all of the club remixes, soulpower remixes, dance remixes, and so forth. This new CD is no exception to the Sting way of doing music. I as a Sting fan REALLY have every cd he has made including remixes and DVD's. Buy for yourself and make your own decision. If you have an open mind as a listener, and enjoy different fields of music, you will enjoy this CD.

Come on Sting....You are so much better........2004-06-15

I confess. I am one of the biggest Sting fans around. I have purchased every Sting album (since The Police). This album is undoubtably the worst, such a waste of talent. Pass this one up and buy the rest.
