Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording
This Mark Knopfler-dominated release from Dire Straits (as if there were any other kind) features the ringing guitar work and clever lyrics we've come to expect from the band over time. The dark, moody gravel of Knopfler's voice mutters, mumbles, and muses through songs like "Telegraph Road" and "Private Investigations" and virtually giggles through the silly patter of "Industrial Disease." The title track and "It Never Rains" are solid, if unremarkable offerings from the band that has come to represent the epitome of one man's vision of good ol' rock & roll. --L.A. Smith

Mitch H. from MIAMI, FL
Reviewed on 2/25/2012...
This album, along with Sultans of Swing are, in my estimation, the ultimate Dire Straits' albums. Mark Knofler's long guitar riff on Telegraph Road soars; it is extraordinary, alone worth the price of the album, and catapults him into the top echelons of guitar greats.

An epic tour de force
Eclectic Tastes | California | 06/06/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I feel sorry for the reviewer who said she'd prefer it if the two long tracks were several four minute tracks. Says a lot for her attention span and ability to concentrate (not). I could recommend a few bands for her, but I might get flamed by crowds of 13-year old females.



These tracks are absolutely fantastic. How could you get the amazing music development, slow sustained and incredibly controlled buildup and story theme into four minutes?



This is my favorite album of all times. It contains all of the best Dire Straits tracks with the exception of "Money for Nothing."



Fantabulous."
