Brothers In Arms

...not to pile on the reviewer here, but..."Riding On The River" is reggae-- not blues, Latin and Caribbean. And, yeah...no mention of the title track?

Money for Nothing, with the now socially unacceptable verses removed, has become a repetitive and monotonous shell of its former self. Many works of art from former times could now be seen as offensive to some, why was this one edited?

This album is a masterpiece!!l A must have!!

By far one of the best albums ever!!

I can't remember when I first heard this album, or when I realized these were new songs. Each song (with the exception, perhaps, of why worry), sounded to me like I had always known them and always would know them. I remember hearing the album as a kid with my friends, and in our college dorm, and listening to it with my dad, and then with my roommates just after college. Now, 20 years later, after losing the CD to a car stereo thief, I am buying the album again. Not sure why, as I can still hear every note as clearly as if it was playing. The band has that big, flowing, rolling sound, big musicality, strongly rooted in great musicianship. Even the synthesizer sounds are crafted and seasoned to blend into the richness of the tones rolling out of the guitar, base, and drum tracks that mark this album as one of the great works of the 1980s.

Amazing album

"We have just one world, but we live in different ones." I received this album for my 13th birthday back in 1994. I was one of those albums that once I started listening to it, I couldn't stop. Every track on the album in exceptional in its own right. Years later, hearing the title track used in the closing minutes of The West Wing's 2nd season, I was brought to tears. Absolutely incredible album. It deserves to be absorbed.

So far Away 5/5- A wonderfully nostalgic song about missing a girlfriend. Money for Nothing- 5/5 A Cool song with an amazing guitar Riff. Walk Of Life 5/5- Catchiest song of all time with a hook. Your Latest Trick 5/5- Jazzy feel and a good message. Why Worry 5/5 the most beautiful soothing song of all time. Ride Across The River 4/5 Mystical feel, pretty different. Still good though. The Man's too strong 4/5 upbeat powerful song. One World 3/5 weakest on the album by far. Brothers in Arms 5/5 The Greatest Song on the album with amazing lyrics and incredible instrumental parts. Best song on probably the best album of all time.

Put on the headphones or insert your earbuds and get lost in the music for an hour or so. You won't regret it. This is one of the finest albums start to finish I have ever owned.
