ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK ALBUMS OF THE 80S I DON'T CARE HOW BOOMER THAT SOUNDS I WOULD RATHER DIE A FOOL THAN LIVE A COWARD.

| 2.5 average | EXSCHISM | June 13th 23 |
Actually disappointed & felt like the first album of theirs which was a significant drop away in overall standard. Excessively artificial in sonic presentation, dated as they come. Album is frontloaded, even then I found Walk of Life more irritating than endearing. Why Worry felt like it had been going forever by the time it thankfully ended. It's hard to stomach how much they let audiophile tomfoolery get in the way of writing compelling music. Perhaps it's because Knopfler's remarkable playing is reduced to being an at times bit player, there can't be much blame on him wanting to take that 6 year break.

The best Dire Straits record. Brothers in Arms and Your Latest Trick are masterpieces, among the best songs ever written. One World also is a very underrated song, amazing guitar work.

Put some respek on Brothers in Arms: yes, it's sometimes cheesy and while it's the most successful Dire Straits album, it's not considered their best - at least I don't. However, this record lived several revolutions. The CD one by 1985, as being one of the first CD best-sellers; as well as the MTV one, which was broadcasting a shitton of Dire Straits clips. Truth be told, it's no wonder it gained massive success: it's eclectic - pop rock, classic rock, 80s synths, jazzy tune - and the production is absolutely bonkers. Not my fave Dire Straits record, but one great, solid jam from front to end.

Staple of awesome rock music. So many beautiful and melodious songs that give orgasm to the ear. Simply majestic. Mike Knopfler is a genius!!

If you don't like this album you don't like rock. Or maybe you just don't like this album because you have different taste but... nah that's hippie stuff. But seriously though how can anybody dislike this? Such an insanely beautiful group of songs.

Capturing beauty at its finest. That is what Dire Straits did best, and nothing proved it more than this absolute gem of a record. Not a single solitary second is wasted, and the length of these tracks only adds more to its allure. The whole band kills it, but of course, you cannot mention Dire Straits in a positive light without mentioning Mr. Mark Knopfler, as this record is the highest showcase of both his vocals and guitar prowess. He shows that you don't have to play at blistering speeds to be an amazing guitar player. It's also about atmosphere, and he has that in spades. The title track is still in my opinion one of the greatest songs ever, ditto with "Your Latest Trick".

I so badly wanted to like this album. The first three tracks are classic rock radio staples, but it loses my attention somewhere in the middle of "Your Latest Trick". Maybe one day I'll be old and sophisticated enough for this CD to mean something, but for now my taste must be too inchoate to accept its impression.

??? What happend!?! First three songs are excellent (all though Money for Nothing is waaaay too long) then it all goes downhill. Too sum it up, the rest are all boring, long and dull. Miserably dull. Best Songs: So Far Away, Money for Nothing and Walk of Life.

Great relaxing music with some of the best traditional rock guitar work you can find in the 1980's. Almost a greatest hits album due to how many classic songs that are on here.

Definitely one of the best and most iconic albums of the '80s, and in my opinion also their best. Songs like So Far Away, Walk of Life, Your Latest Trick, and most especially Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms, are timeless classics.

After a period of somewhat subpar recordings from Dire Straits – mostly in the midst of constant membership changes and frontman Mark Knofler’s solo-career – the band returns to the form of the first couple outings, chalking up an impressive playlist on their classic Brothers In Arms. Spawning some of the group’s most memorable tracks – Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, So Far Away, and Brothers In Arms – it’s hard for a classic rock fan to not have heard of this record. Though it’s true the band’s style has been constantly evolving since its inception, Brothers In Arms feels the most reminiscent in musical spirit to the band’s self-titled debut; there is little question as to why it is the band’s most popular and best-selling record.
