As much as I loved Sting's earlier solo material and certainly his work with the Police. There comes a time when I usually part ways with an artist. For me with Sting that was Sacred Love. Even Brand New Day was considerably weaker than previous attempts, IMO. Other examples could include Toto with ...

Very nice playing Nick! Just curious...what kind of head is that on the snare?
