Review/Pop; A Subtler Sting Cuts Loose in a Smaller Hall
1993
Overview
While [Sting] the musician is in fine form, Sting the songwriter was only coasting on his current album, \"10 Summoner's Tales.\" Too many songs depend on vamps and patter-song recitative, while the more tuneful ones echo his older material. The songs aren't mere genre exercises: In \"Love Is Stronger Than Justice,\" an odd-meter (7/4) funk vamp emulating Little Feat gives way to a foursquare country chorus, while the superb \"It's Probably Me\" unsettles a ballad with ambiguous, jazzy chords. But the musicianly satisfactions of making a kinetic groove in 5/4 (\"Seven Days\") or 7/4 (\"St. Augustine in Hell\") would double if the verses had full-fledged melodies.
