Title track is an obvious classic. Album is smooth as hell throughout, sweet instrumental production, tones and voice. Adding a few of these to a very special kind of playlist ;)
Title track is played to death and doesn't do anything good for me anymore. Girl's got rhythm is really good though. Record has really good drive (tempo, guitar riffs and drum rhythms). Didn't expect this record to be this impressive overall.
So smooth. Production quality through the roof. Very pro, such progressive, so jazz.
Peg is absolutely perfect. Home at last i haven't heard too many times, but is ridiculously good too (that jazzy synth solo at ~ 3:10 <chef's kiss>).
The Josie track was already a favorite of mine, but after hearing through the album again in its entirety, I would say a few of the other tracks have risen above. 5/5.
Classic album, and although it's not necessarily groundbreaking in any way, it still gets a fair bit of praise in my book.
Intro to Money For Nothing is like something off a Pink Floyd track. Guitar tone is pretty sick, what even is that? Walk Of Life is still a bit of a mood booster, but not very interesting (Your Latest Trick much more so, compositionally). Based on plays, One World seems somewhat underrated to me, was pretty good. Title track is fantastic: Knopfler makes his guitar sing and has great lead tone. Loving the vibe overall. 4/5.
Some sweet and mostly short tracks on this eh. My highlights:
The Ledge! Think About Me, and more.
Maybe a weird take, but I'm not loving the higher vocal frequencies of Love Is a Stranger. Seems to rub my ear a little bit in the wrong way.
Sweet Dreams though: good track, nuff said. Jennifer is also cool and compositionally it's a pretty interesting track. Some good instrumentation on This Is the House (horns, decent bass line, etc.) which I was pleased to hear. Works well despite the weird Spanish vocals.
Really liking the vibe of This City Never Sleeps - simple, but effective.
OK album overall, but "historical value/impact" aside, I'm a bit underwhelmed. The good/great tracks aren't enough to carry this one for me. 3/5.
Album as a whole sounds pretty great, and while many of the tracks don't really excite me too much or hit the same highs as I perhaps expect from SW, there's a few pretty interesting and beautiful songs on here.
strange, intense and admittedly even cool at times, but not exactly my cup of whiskey. 2/5
Fuck yea
badass.
Mostly very groovy
Some ok, but mostly nah
not bad, but nothing that really grabbed me with this one. just a bit boring overall.
very nice.
ok
not so sure about this one.
sometimes it's almost cool, sometimes it's annoying, but all of the time it's nothing to write home about.
i like it
me gusta
4/5 and that's me being strict
i have learned to appreciate my boy prince. could do with a few more guitar solos though.
good
pretty decent
not for me
