Hey guys. Do any of you like The Police? Have you ever wondered why the introduction and first verse of "Spirits In The Material World" doesn't quite line up with the chorus? I made a blog post about it and want to know what you think. You can read it here. Listen to the track below and see whether you can count the groove without explanation. If not, check the article. Thanks!
