  • Lots of Peaks but Some Valleys

    Not quite as consistent as Privateering and older solo efforts but still some awesome songs with ingenious storylines. One Song at a Time, Back on the Dance Floor all time standouts. Please Mark play more these current songs on tour. Too much DS at too high a price.

    Knopfler has had a remarkable string of winderful LPs full of fabulous songs with great lyrics and instrumentals. So.....this one sounds mailed in. You can't win em all.

    Every thing about this album is awesome. I really liked Privateering but this one is by far my favorite work of his. It shows how versatile his style is, almost every song has a different style of play using various instruments. There is everything from jazz club to swamp rock to a minstrel sound. Great story telling songs. Some sad songs as well as some that are quite humorous. All with Marks signature guitar out front and his unmistakable voice. Definitely worth getting!!!

    This newest release is not for everyone! By that I mean it’s for Adults with a refined pallet for excellent music. If you hear this on a corporate run commercial radio station then Hell has froze over. More upbeat than Tracker but with the same emphasis on storytelling.
  • Strong and quiet

    Knopfler's songwriting and storytelling is on full display here, complete with first-class production and sonics. As others have implied, this collection isn't suited for bopping down the highway or jamming out. Instead, think of an evening listen with low lights and maybe a good bourbon. Just because the music is a little more quiet and introspective doesn't mean it's dull. To the contrary, there are enjoyable subtleties on almost every track. Strangely, the words "your money-maker" appear in the first two tracks. While no one is offended by that corny term, it remains an outdated anachronism. In contrast, other lyrics offer profound glimpses into different life experiences. So with a few lyrical question marks notwithstanding, this album is a nice combination of enjoyably listenable and sonically excellent. Knopfler clearly knows how to make records.
  • Not Dire Straits or a Guitar Album

    Great songwriting as usual, first 6 songs sound a bit Caribbean with lots of horns and no guitar. Did he sell the ‘59 Les Paul?

    Like all Knopfler solo albums and also On Every Street, the eclectic song nature needs to be absorbed into the brain. This is rarely the case on a first listen. Only the patient can learn to roll these songs over their tongues for a while and grasp their well dug and deeper levels of melody and lyrical genius. The Devine Matchstick Man and Trapper Man are obvious stellar bookend deliveries. Song 2, Back in the Dance Floor, is somewhat of a creeper. Nobody’s Child blows me away.....and it takes audios repetition. The song is like a blues country journey back 70 years and completely progressively and alternately relevant, all in one simple and complicated chord progression. The dichotomy is present on so many levels. Every song opens up like California wine with time. I am still not there with the main course meat of the middle. I am still processing the more obscure and situationally embraced tracks like When You Leave. It seems to be beyond my palate which humbles me every time I hear it. It’s like understanding that you are sitting in first class but you belong in with the luggage. Like all of them, I break the cellophane and listen recklessly and can’t help but feel disappointment due to my initial overall expectations. Then with quiet carful listening, the whole thing shifts 180 degrees, one song at a time. Thanks MK. See you in Foxwoods with another handcrafted leather belt. Hope it fit. This album fits just right.
  • Too Tired and Uninspired

    I’ve been a fan of Mark Knopfler since he went solo with “Golden Heart” and for years would buy the latest album and play it repeatedly for weeks. None of the solo albums was perfect, usually containing at least a couple of cringe-worthy clunkers, but the highlights were numerous and powerful. Yet, with his last two or three efforts, it’s slowly reached a point of diminishing returns—each one more disappointing than the last, and the noteworthy songs down to a handful at best. With this latest album, I decided I wasn’t going to sacrifice the cash to feel crushed again. I can tell by sampling the songs that this album contains more of the same mediocre to lifeless tracks. Literate lyrics and tasteful playing are not enough to save songs that sound uninspired and undistinguished in the final result. Knopfler has been one of our best songwriters for many years, but something is definitely missing from most of the songs he’s produced with “Privateering,” “Tracker” and now the latest. Knopfler himself sounds increasingly tired and morose, his songs repetitive and dull. It’s sad, but I won’t support what I consider inferior music from a man of his talent—a man whose guitar playing, vocals and lyrical gifts are in decline, undermining his legacy.

    I love Marks music! I love that he has returned to his rock instrumentation! Keep on rocking!! It reminds me of his early solo work with was closer to the Dire Straits sound.
