Brothers In Arms
Dire Straits
It sounds very nice when played on a good stereo! Brings back memories to when this CD was used to test my dad’s home made speakers. Can see my self playing this again late at night before bedtime as it is very mellow.

Nice production. I would not mind hearing some of these songs in isolation but I got very impatient halfway through the album - the songs are too similar to me. Everything’s not lost ends the album on a high note, so I guess it was worth listening through the whole album.

Another album unsuitable for listening on the road. On better equipment it transforms into a pleasant listen, for those moments where you just need to chill. So I will award it a pleasant score.

You outta know that that was the only song I was aware of having heard before. Out of the 12 songs, 5 were enjoyable (including that particular hit).

California Dreaming is among the greatest songs of all time. While no other song quite reaches that level there is enough to enjoy if you like vocal harmonies.

Ah, one of those albums from before they found the magical recipe. Nothing memorable, but I did like some of the songs. Torn between 2 big stars or 3 small stars.

The first couple of songs had me intrigued with the upbeat brass and percussion arrangements - but I found the entire album too much of the same thing. And that was even before the songs 13-17 that were bonus songs for the CD version…

WTF??? It’ got a nice funky vibe and actual melodies. Especially the second half of this double album contributes to this album getting a score from me that I never thought I would bestow on a hip-hop album. Well done!

The first half of this album is all killers. The second half mostly fillers.
4 small stars because of the strengths of the first half.

There is Sabotage, an absolute killer. Then there’s some nice funky/jazzy instrumentals, where did they come from? Then there’s a collection of mashups between sample based hiphop, the jazz/funk from the instrumentals and the noise rock of Sabotage - not all of them sitting right with me. 2 stars? 3 stars? 2 stars.
