The former jazzman-turned-punk is now more middle-of-the-road than a yellow stripe. But
Ten Summoner's Tales is by far the most engaging of his solo records. The singles "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" and "Fields of Gold" prove the man can lighten up long enough to go deep. "She's Too Good For Me" would have been a good Police single if it weren't for the pseudo-classical midsection that takes its joke far too seriously. Still, you wish he would loosen up and enjoy the rock once in a while.
--Robert Wilonsky

Customer Reviews:
Hold on for some great ones.......2007-05-29
Sting's album ten summoners tale's hits some high notes....quite literally.
It includes the super hit Fields of Gold which is a timeless beautiful song, and the uplifting If I ever loose my faith in you- which is quite fun to listen to. It also includes the slow dramatic shape of my heart.
Shape of my heart's music has since been borrowed by both Monica and Craig David.
The CD has a lot of flow, and versatillity and prooves why even though we can't have the Police anymore, why we're glad Sting is a solo act. He can carry the show on his own as he prooves his with his deep mellow voice, and interesting ground breaking sounds.
my youth's myth.......2007-05-13
great sound with THE POLICE, grew up professionally and got better as a SOLO ARTIST.
MMMM Sting.......2007-01-10
I don't think he can come out with a bad CD. He makes me smile with some of his songs, cry with others and get the chills at his uncanny talent.
It is always different in style, but I always get the best out of them.
He is truely an ICON.
...a rare perfect album..........2006-10-24
i won't dignify this album with a review, or analysis, because, it simply doesn't need, or deserve one...
all that needs to be said is...this is one of those rare perfect albums that, every once in a harvest, comes together as one from beginning to end...
my only regret...'fields of gold' should never have been a hit single...don't get me wrong...it's a great song...but, it's just a part of the entire piece, that shouldn't be disected for the masses...
it's intelligent, it's brilliant, it's...well, it's just the way it 'all' is...
Sting - TEN SUMMONER'S TALES (1993).......2006-07-24
Having vented his sorrow over his father's death through THE SOUL CAGES, Sting returned more upbeat and playful than ever on 1993's TEN SUMMONER'S TALES. Widely regarded as Sting's best album, TEN SUMMONER'S TALES - the title being a pun on Sting's surname - is a collection of ten songs, each telling a story, as well as a prologue ("If I Ever Lose My Faith In You") and an epilogue ("Nothing 'Bout Me"). This was destroyed on the US and Canadian releases, as the "Prologue" was dropped from the title of "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" and one of the album's finest songs, "Everybody Laughed But You", was inexplicably omitted. Sting has never been better either lyrically or musically; these songs are at once funny and very powerful. "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" and the beautiful "Fields Of Gold" are the album's classic songs, but every song is wonderful, particularly "Seven Days", "Something The Boy Said" (which would have made a fine Police song), "Shape Of My Heart" (featured in the end credits of Luc Besson's LEON), "Saint Augustine In Hell" and the highly amusing "Heavy Cloud No Rain". Though it still can't surpass its predecessor, THE SOUL CAGES, TEN SUMMONER'S TALES ranks directly behind it on the list of Sting's finest solo work.

Ten Amazing Tales.......2000-06-26
This recent release of Ten Summoner's Tales (arguably the best Sting album ever) offers a fantastically enhanced production of the original album. With the same amazing songs, such as "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You," "Fields of Gold," "Seven Days," and more, Sting once again reaches the listener with his musical hybrids and footprint-leaving lyrics. This enhanced version of the six grammy winning album should be in the hands of any loyal fan, and should be the first and the most prized possession of any new-comer.
