HOT TAKE? Synchronicity is a drop in quality from previous albums....

I know this is maybe not everyone's opinion but I feel like they lost their magic once they let that reggae-like beat go, but that said I feel like they kinda stopped doing what they were good at and moved on to more mainstream sounds (not that its wrong, just not as unique), right after Reggatta De Blanc, it felt like it was less and less of "The Police" and more "80s Rock", obviously still great albums but less impressive and revolutionary

most impressive drum performance?

I gotta admit im not a musician so maybe this sounds simplistic but my pick is Stewart Copeland's drums on "The Bed's Too Big Without You" by The Police, I just love all the tiny variations he does throughout the song.... also Ive been told that maracas-like sound is actually the hi-hat? (is that a bunch of bs or hes just THAT impressive)

As a new player, im skeptical of the advanced version

Ive only ever played the game 7 times (6 times with the base game and once with the advanced game), and the one time i played i felt as though the added components only made the game worse. I love that in the base game every power, resource or card feels like it has weight... while that is still partially true with advanced rules, ive felt (during my single playthrough with advanced rules) as though the fact that so many new powers were added, more ressources were available and now spice has now more uses, i felt as though instead of having mindgames for every single battle, every single spice blow, every single card... it was more like just another strategy game with many, many components.... (not that other strategy games are badly designed but i really liked dune's base game design)

So id like to know if people who are veterans can tell me wether or not that feeling changes as you get to know the advanced components more or if its dependent on the group? Id like to hear about it.
