Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits Reviews

****REASONS FOR PURCHASING.**** I actually think this Brothers In Arms CD by Dire Straits, was the very first Album, I ever had in my CD collection. This is the CD I always play, when I am feeling down or a little sad inside. This CD of course has some great feel good songs on board it also, but the tracks "Why Worry" and ...  Read the complete review

Brothers in Arms was one of Dire Straits first albums and for my money still rates as one of the best alongside "Making Movies" The album contains one of my favourite Mark Knopfler tracks "Money for Nothing". That's the song which which has been politically corrected and totally ruined in recent years by the removal of the ...  Read the complete review

Brothers in Arms was the first thing that I ever spent my own hard earned cash on. When I got my first wage packet, back in the dim dark days of 1986, I went to my local Asda and bought it on tape for £4.99, mainly because I had heard the track Brothers in Arms on the radio. Since then I have actually re-purchased it three times, first ...  Read the complete review

The album cover is blue and most of the songs are blue, so how come this album is one of the biggest selling albums to come out of the UK in recent years? After all, this 1985 offering is the 6th outing for Dire Straits - so why did it take so long for them to gain world-wide recognition? You know, I can't answer those questions. I ...  Read the complete review

This was the phenonmenally succesful album from Dire Straits with the massive hits Walk of Life, and Money For Nothing. Nearly every music fan knows the album whether they like it or hate it... Although the biggest songs are alot of peoples favourites I actaully prefer some of the lesser known tracks on the album. Your Latest Trick is ...  Read the complete review

This classic album has tracks to suit whatever mood you are in. It ranges from soft, soppy songs, to fast lively tracks, music to sing along to and music just to listen to. The trouble with the faster tracks is the desire to play “air guitar”. Most of us have seen Dire Straights performing a lot of the classic tracks from this ...  Read the complete review

This is the first compact disc that i bought, way back in 1987 (£8.99 from Woolworths), just after i bought my first stereo after getting my first job. I originally bought the album because i loved 'Money for Nothing' and 'Brothers in Arms' (it went with my 'Why!' posters, remember those) but i was not prepared for how powerful the whole ...  Read the complete review

This was THE album that established the compact disc as the new medium for the 80s and beyond. Although it was not the first album to be released on a CD, it was the one that captured the imagination. Looking at the album now, it has stood the test of time and contains some wonderful tracks, such as “money for nothing”, with Sting ...  Read the complete review

Dire Straits are wuite clearly an albums band, and this album demonstrates this fact perfectly. Brother In Arms unsuprisingly topped the charts in 1985, and stayed in the top 100 for an incredible 196 weeks. This is debatably the best album from Mark Knopfler and company, and the title track is a beautiful mix, with a soothing guitar and soft ...  Read the complete review

Brothers in Arms is my favourite album from my all time favourite band. No album in my collection evokes more memories or stirs quite as many emotions as this one does. It came out around the time that I had left school and started by first Job. I was immediately captivated by the single "Money for Nothing" which had a ground ...  Read the complete review
