Album Notes Dire Straits: Mark Knopfler (vocals, guitar); Hal Lindes (guitar); Guy Fletcher, Alan Clark (keyboards); John Illsley (bass); Terry Williams (drums). Additional personnel: Sting (vocals). Recorded at Air Studios, Monserrat, West Indies. All tracks have been digitally remastered. BROTHERS IN ARMS found Dire Straits at the peak of a long climb in the music industry. After an auspicious debut with DIRE STRAITS, they stuggled on through personnel changes and shifting musical tastes. Knopfler's work with Bob Dylan (SLOW TRAIN COMING and some touring) and the band's appearance at Live Aid helped to keep their recognition high. This album proved to be the payoff, as "Money For Nothing" hit number 1, and the second single, "Walk Of Life" also made the top-10.

Reviews  Audiophile Must Have The whole of the CD is very musical with a dynamic range not heard in todays compression heavy mastering. The songs themselves are icing on the cake. Review ID: 10000000006369508 Was this review helpful? Report this review Great album, greatly improvedI first bought this album on vinyl when it was first released, later on I bought a cassette and a CD, too. Then I lost the CD and forgot about it for years. The remaster is just better, sharper than any of the previous releases, and well worth the money. Review ID: 10000000005329026 Was this review helpful? Report this review Brothers in Arms - Excellent albumBrothers in Arms is one of those albums that stands apart from the rest. Its music is unique, hauntingly powerful in places and the very catching in others. I am a fan of music that goes beyond basic riffs and repetitive guitar and drum rhythms. I love music that is clever, rhythmically brilliant and intellectually stimulating. Brothers in Arms shines in all areas. Review ID: 10000000002655314 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Brothers in Arms: Making Money for Nothing, Hookers' Tricks and "My MTV"Review created: 05/08/07 by: bettega -- a member of Epinions Pros: Complexity approaching classical music, harmonies, lyrics/stories, tasteful use of electronics Cons: Filler track or two, such beauty is a lot to stand and may require Kleenex. For most bands, success means selling a lot of records, making tons of money and having millions of screaming girls ogling all over you. This is good, if not great. Why shouln't a struggling artist who sacrificed almost everything to craft their work be rewarded? Yet, as with the Yin-Yang symbol we all have come to love, gratification can be a two edge sword. The roots of success can be found in the depths of obscurity yet the makings of failure lie at the core of success. In the music world this means that once the rock band has enough money to buy drugs more expensive than third rate weed,.. Review ID: 10000000003573789  A Handful of Great Pop Songs, and a Couple of Uninspired SnoozersReview created: 09/29/07 by: starcollector-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Music Pros: The first three tracks are CLASSIC Cons: The rest aren't as such (Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what they re looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Dire Straits fan.) Overall Score: 4/5 Best song: You know what it is without me writing it here Worst song: Ride Across the River Review Body: The massive commercial success. Managing to even top Sultans of... Review ID: 10000000004529796  Commercial album that doesn't show the true Dire Straits.Review created: 08/16/00 by: SimonCook -- a member of Epinions Pros: Some good music, a groundbreaking viseo. Cons: Too commercial, Dire Straits get lost in this album. Dire Straits are one of Great Britains lessor known classic bands. Mark Knoffler on guitar and lyrics leads this band with their definitive style of rock and pop music. His unique guitar style is instantly recognizable to all fans. The band made several albums before Brothers in Arms producing some classic rock music that deserves more merit than they got. Classic albums like Love Over Gold and Alchemy introduced Dire Straits to a small but tight fan base. With Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits became a little more commercial and propelled themselves into Superstardom (in England). The album... Review ID: 10000000000217549 The Greatest Album of the 1980sReview created: 03/01/00 by: mickp -- a member of Epinions Pros: Amazing instrument skill. Brilliant and meaningful songs. A true classic Cons: None When Dire Straits first hit the scene in the late 70's, the reaction from their native England was lukewarm, so it caused a little surprise when the debut album was raved about, first in parts of continental Europe, then in Australia and finally in the USA. By this, Dire Straits' fifth album, England had long since caught up with the rest of the world and Brothers in Arms went on to perform the amazing feat of being the highest selling album in England in BOTH 1984 and 1985. I am ashamed to admit that it took me until the release of this album to discover Dire Straits, although I can be... Review ID: 10000000000217554 Made this Boy a ManReview created: 12/03/01 by: jason_webb -- a member of Epinions Pros: Ride through everything from rock to reggae Cons: Not enough tracks This is the first compact disc that i bought, way back in 1987 ( 8.99 from Woolworths), Just after starting my first job and buying my first stereo system (at last, mine, all mine) I originally bought the album because i loved 'Money for Nothing' and 'Brothers in Arms' (it went with the 'Why!' anti war posters on my bedroom walls, remember those) but i was not prepared for how powerful the whole album would be. Here is a quick rundown of the tracks 1 - So Far Away - A story of love at a distance, begging to be together 2 - Money For Nothing - Upbeat rose tinted vision of pop stars lives, from.
