Pros: Successful fusion of wildly different types of music, and great lyrics. Cons: A bit short (9 songs), "Ghost Story"
Sting almost totally lost me with the album before this, "Mercury Falling". I never really paid much attention to people who said he was a pretentious jerk until I heard him singing in French on that album. I thought he was a bit too high-falutin' for...
Pros: Variety, maturity, even an old broad like me enjoys this one. Cons: There's a couple of flops on this one, but the good outweighs the bad.
After a long hiatus, Sting amazed everyone with this one. Blending musical styles and musicians from around the world, we got a revitalized Sting. We still have most of the songs centering around every form of love that you can think of, but this is the...
Pros: Brand New Day officially ranks as my second favorite Sting album, after the Soul Cages Cons: It’s flawless...
There are albums that you know you can always come back to. Brand New Day is one for me. It is amazing that Sting would deliver such masterpiece at the time most people had written him off as an 80s/early 90s pop icon whose stardom days were counted. ...

General Sting Commentary
--------------------------------------
Sting has been a big name since his punk/rock days with the Police. He moved me then and now, some 15 years later, he moves me still (You Still Move Me). As my...
Pros: Diverse, brilliant. Cons: May not be what some expect from Sting
I have not been a constant observer or fan of Sting throughout his career other than to enjoy his hits on the radio over the years, usually with the Police. But Brand New Day is the best whole album I've bought in some time, at least this last year. ...
Pros: Both lyrics and instrumentation are remarkable. Cons: Are you kidding?
I've been a fan of Sting for a long time, but I've never quite heard anything like this before. I'm not very well learned in all the different styles of music, foreign and domestic, all I know is that whatever Sting was trying to cook up, he succeeded...
Pros: Sting has a beautiful voice... Cons: Very pronounced British accent--occasionally blurs words
I purchased "Brand New Day" shortly after hearing "Desert Rose" played 160 billion times on top-40 radio, and becoming frustrated with the stations' choppy editing and omission of Cheb Mami's beautiful riffs of Arabic, got my own copy.
Pros: Great lyrics, inventive music, virtuoso performers Cons: Rhymes "buddy" with "fuddy duddy"
I have been a huge fan of Sting ever since his days with The Police. I know that many Police fans don't like Sting's solo work, but I think his solo albums are almost all brilliant and prove that he was by far the heart and soul of The Police. So, you...
Pros: Nice relaxing music Cons: it might not be for everyone
I haven't always been a huge Sting fan. I love a lot of his past music with The Police. I remember my sister listening to him with her girlfriends and the song that sticks out in my mind with a catchy tune is Don't Stand so Close to Me.
Pros: Mellow, relaxing, a few very good songs Cons: Simple, some songs seemed 'forced'
WHY I BOUGHT THIS CD: I have loved Sting since he was singing with the Police. I have their entire collection along with a few of Sting's solo albums. I was just adding to my collection, mostly. The other reason is that I am going to see Sting's Brand...
Pros: An eclectic blend of several different styles, sounds, themes, images, effects upon the listener. Cons: Some of the songs are almost too clever and complex in the lyric and music, rendering them confusing and ineffective.
I really wanted to title this: "I don't hate this nearly as much as I expected to", but didn't think it would sound very smooth and polished.
But honestly, I was all set to cast this CD aside, based on the conflicting reviews and epinions...
Pros: Great music, Some uplifting Sting originals, Great vocals, Check out Desert Rose! Cons: A bit too short...
After his tumultuous reign as the "king of pain" with The Police back in the Eighties, Sting has enjoyed a critically acclaimed and successful solo career. Albums like The Soul Cages, and Ten Summoner's Tales were both musical...
Pros: Read on, the review tells all! Cons: There aren't any translation for the stuff that's not in english!
It is truly a Brand New Dayfor Sting. This release outshines 1996’s Mercury Falling by at least 10 fold. This album shows diversity and a great uniqueness that characterizes the rock deity we know as Sting.
Sting-a-ding-ding! I saw Sting's video for "Brand New Day" on VH1 and thought it was so great! As usual, I tried to get the single, but couldn't, so I bought the album and I'm so glad I did. What a treasure trove! My favorite song on the...
With customary thoughtfulness and his usual verve, Sting is talking about Brand New Day, his sumptuous new album, a collection of songs exploring the ...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
