Fuckin' Dire Straits man, such a great band. Have only listened to their debut and I loved it so much, I decided to purchase all of their studio albums.

Nice call on reviewing this. DS is one of those bands that needs more love here in Sputnik. pos

thanks John! Believe me you'll never regret your purchasing decision and major props if you bought the actual cd's or vinyls instead of mp3s.

Go listening them by order and you'll see what phenomenal figure Knopfler is!

Yeah I know. Still. It's by dire straits and every thread on here derails sooner or later.

Don't have to really. Their debut is all the proof I need for this man's geniuses. The fact that he plays what he plays without a plectrum, makes him a fantastic guitarist.

Gotta love how such apparently simple straits tracks like "Where Do You Think You're Going" actually go and crush most of everything else out there.

Guitar solo on "News" is blowing my mind right now, Knopfler is the man

I've always thought of this album as a lesser version of the self-titled (which is a 5 for me), but there's no denying it's awesome in it's own right

I get that that's the consensus and v much see where it comes from, but I've always gotten a slightly different vibe from this one; there's something cooler and a little more melodic to it maybe...but then again I grew up with this album and took a while to get to the debut so it's probs just my bias ;] the first 4 DS albums are total gold dust at any rate

Fair enough, can't really argue with that. An excellent discography all around.
