Since you asked about my personal experience wrt that album, let me attempt to put it into words for what it’s worth..
imho listening to Sting - not just that specific album but many other incredible artists of the 80s and 90s with their creative style and brilliance is a totally alluring experience. To elucidate my point, research (link below) shows that guys with high testosterone levels prefer certain genres like rock, metal etc whereas those with low testosterone tend to gravitate towards jazz/classical music. Personally, I think I fall somewhere between the two extremes. Enough said!
Our hormones appear to influence our musical preferences.
