Dark, somber, and thematically unified as no previous album by the Police, Ghost in the Machine deals almost exclusively with the negative effects of modern political and technological culture. The only departure from this focus is "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," a perfect pop song and radio hit. Elsewhere, the album treats such issues as the hope underlying resistance to oppression, the dismissal of most of the nonindustrialized world, the daily bombardment of words and images that overload the senses, and the frequent recourse to violence for personal or political expression. The songs are presented in what are, for the Police, unusually dense, layered arrangements. Andy Summers's guitar lines are even more ethereal than usual, with Sting's bass parts bobbing in a mix seasoned with keyboards and sax and propelled by Stewart Copeland's unmistakable, idiosyncratic drumming. While Synchronicity gave the Police their greatest success with hits and videos, Ghost in the Machine is the band's best recording. --Albert MassaCustomer Reviews:

The Darkest Police CD .......2007-04-03
Lyrics VS Music.......2007-03-29
Apart from token lines like: "With airy but moody synths and keyboards...", there's simply no reference at all to Andy Summers' incredibly ingenious and unique guitar playing with all its different colours and textures, his imaginative use of rhythm as well as his unforgettable riffs.
No mention of Stewart Copeland's breath-taking playing. The drumming that influenced a whole generation...
Nor is there any mention of Sting. Yes, he is a master song-writer but what about his instruments? He would have to be one of the most underrated bass players in the history of good music. As a bass player I've always admired his warm sound and his thoughtful playing. He's supportive and mostly sparse without ever being boring and possesses tonnes of tasty-ness. And what can we say about his voice?! Simply an amazing voice. A rich, totally unique tone that's instantly recognizable, combined with beautiful melodic ingenuity. And, when informed by Sting's tremendous musicality, it makes for some of the most heart-felt singing in all of popular music.
It is not my intention to ignore lyrics or their meaning. I love good lyrics as much as anyone else and I am fully aware that for a song to be a 'good song', it has to have both great lyrics and great music working in harmony. All I'm simply saying is that to concentrate exclusively on lyrics (brilliant as they might be) and to ignore the musician's/producer's contributions to the overall creation of a song is to basically relegate music's role to simply background filler. Like a movie soundtrack or a boring one-bar-loop repeated ad-nauseam in a bad Rap song.
The members of The Police deserve much more than that.

This CD is AWESOME!.......2007-01-09
A nightmare from which I never want to wake........2007-01-08
Although I'm not all that familiar with Motograter, I am intrigued to hear them more, as the two standout members of this band are from that band as well. Frontman Ivan Moody has quickly become one of my new favorite singers. His vocals are haunting, unsettling, and schizophrenic, and could not possibly suit the music better. At times, he reminds me a lot of Maynard James Keenan, but overall, his style is very much his own. Another big standout is drummer Chris Binns, whose playing is powerful, stylish, and complex. He sort of reminds me of Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, especially with his thunderous tom fills and double bass rolls, but but his playing also contains a great deal of groove and subtlety. Guitarist and main songwriter John Stevens is exceptionally talented as well, even if he is a bit overshadowed by the aforementioned two.
Overall, the album is epic and unpredictable, weaving like a rollercoaster ride through a sick, twisted mind. After the short intro song, the angry "Sheltered" blasts out of the gate. This is the heaviest song, closer to straight-up hardcore, and although it seems a bit crude and immature compared to the rest of the album, it's still a fun track (I usually have to skip over the cheesy, overwrought part at the end though; when you hear it, you'll probably see why). "Headstone", "God Forbid", and "Vegas Moon", are dark, brooding rockers, which perfectly showcase Moody's amazing vocals (and why "Moody" is an incredibly appropriate name for him). "Bondage" is a sparse, haunting ballad, with really creepy vocals/lyrics, and a spell-binding guitar solo. "Skank" is much better than you might expect a song called "Skank" to be, with its super-infectious heavy riff, interspersed with tasty techno beats. "Desert Rose" is one of the odder tracks, with distorted offbeat rhythms, and subtle flamenco guitar. The single, "Siesta Loca", has sort of a jazzy groove, with a great chorus, and a killer drum outro.
The album ends with a "Lull-A-Bye", which is basically a reworking of "Rock-A-Bye Baby", set to really dark, creepy music. You don't really realize just how morbid the lyrics to that song really are, until you hear them in context with this kind of music, and how perfectly they fit with them. Very cool stuff.
But wait, it's not over yet. Hidden behind 6 short tracks of silence, are three bonus tracks. The first is more a collection of ideas than a song, with a lot of odd, random things, the second is a beautiful acoustic ballad, with nothing but guitar and voice, and the third is a sweet 8-minute trip hoppy instrumental.
All in all, this is a fantastic album that hardly misses a step (except for that darn ending to "Sheltered", but oh well...). Along with Hurt, these guys are one of the most promising alt. metal/modern rock bands I've heard recently, so I hope to hear more from them in the future. You don't hear many bands this great in this style of music, so it's definitely something you don't want to pass up. Recommended to fans of Tool, Nine Inch Nails, or anything comparable to those bands. Buy today.
(Oh, and the track listing here is wrong. That is for their self-titled demo, which has a lot of the same songs.)

Some Excellent Individual Tracks but Not Their Best By Far!.......2007-05-18
There are some brilliant tracks here, a couple of which represent The Police's best ever tracks such as "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" and the brilliant "Invisible Sun" but then after a very promising trilogy of great opening tracks, the flow is disrupted by very poor album filler material like "Hungry For You" and "Demolition Man" before ending again with another great trilogy of "Omegaman" (simply brilliant guitar work by Andy Summers and his best ever composition for the band), "Secret Journey" and their most underrated ever track that never made it as a single, the gem, "Darkness" closes out the album.
6 great all-time best ever Police tracks as bookends to 5 truly mediocre fillers is why this album although slightly better than "Outlandos D'Amour", their debut album, and "Synchronicity" their best selling one (mostly because of "Every Breath You Take" and for similar reasons) still falls behind "Zenyatta Mondatta" and "Regatta De Blanc". Still, this is worth getting for the much improved remastered sound quality and for the brilliant 6 tracks; just skip the 5 other tracks. The mini lp replica sleeve is quite well done except that the cardboard used is rather thin and is not the best design that I've seen as compared with other similar releases e.g. all the Bob Dylan ones and we get all the lyrics in both English and Japanese included as well.
Recommended.

Album Description
The Haunting Begins... is the first full-length CD release from Ghost in the Machine. It is clearly the most innovative and mature effort to date in both musical and production senses. The Haunting Begins... is a musically aggressive, thought provoking journey through 13 tracks of unpredictability. When asked about the huge musical variation of The Haunting Begins..., Ghost in the Machine stated, "That's just the way we are and write. We have so many influences, we can't even count them. Our music is a product of this, so it is multi-dimensional as well. Besides, we believe people can relate better to this because they too are multi-dimensional - everybody likes a change or something different occasionally. Different songs match different moods whenever they occur." The Haunting Begins... was recorded, engineered, mixed, mastered and produced at Evil Draft Studios by Ghost in the Machine, in conjunction with 808 MultiMedia, L.L.C..Customer Reviews:

Album Description
The Repo SessionGhost in the Machine is back to haunt you again! The follow up CD to `The Haunting Begins ' has 8 new songs along with bonus tracks and remixes bringing the total to 17 songs! `The Repo Session' features the club smash `Rodeo', `Lady Love' and `Redemption'.
The sound of Ghost in the Machine has matured into an electrifying sonic force to be reckoned with. With Chris Weerts on vocals, RJ Thompson sharing axe duties and Mike Kern creating the foundation, they have added new elements and dimension to facilitate their musical evolution. One thing that has remained the same there is no genre to completely describe Ghost in the Machine. They fuse electro, dance, metal, techno, industrial, urban and that's just the beginning.
Lyrically, Ghost in the Machine falls to the dark side, retaining a glimmer of hope. Topics range from unrequited love to sex, from escaping oppression to spiritual enlightenment, and from the brutality of the crucifiction of Christ to revolutions.
Listen to the new album, see if you can define it. Ghost in the Machine thinks not. A fresh sound that you've not heard before.
