Sting's bass playing is already commanding, Andy Summers' guitar lines are inventive and distinctive, and Stewart Copeland's drumming — perhaps the most kinetic and rhythmically complex in mainstream rock — is on spectacular display throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album spawned three enduring singles: \u003cstrong\u003e\"Roxanne\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a ska-inflected tale of a street prostitute that the BBC initially refused to play and which has since become one of the most recognisable songs of the era; \u003cstrong\u003e\"Can't Stand Losing You\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, equally banned by the BBC for its provocative sleeve; and the euphoric \u003cstrong\u003e\"So Lonely\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, which draws openly on Bob Marley's \"No Woman, No Cry\" for its melodic structure. Beyond the hits, the album holds up brilliantly — the pounding opener \u003cstrong\u003e\"Next to You\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, the hypnotic \u003cstrong\u003e\"Hole in My Life\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the extraordinary closing track \u003cstrong\u003e\"Masoko Tanga\"\u003c\/strong\u003e all reward close listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOutlandos d'Amour\u003c\/em\u003e peaked at \u003cstrong\u003enumber 6 on the UK Albums Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003enumber 23 on the US Billboard 200\u003c\/strong\u003e, and has since been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the \u003cstrong\u003egreatest debut albums of all time\u003c\/strong\u003e.
