Album Review
Adding a new rhythm guitarist, Dire Straits expands its sounds and ambitions on the sprawling Love Over Gold. In a sense, the album is their prog rock effort, containing only five songs, including the 14-minute opener "Telegraph Road." Since Mark Knopfler is a skilled, tasteful guitarist, he can sustain interest even throughout the languid stretches, but the long, atmospheric, instrumental passages aren't as effective as the group's tight blues-rock, leaving Love Over Gold only a fitfully engaging listen.
Customer Reviews
One of the greatest albums ever!!!
This in my opinion is one of the greatest albums ever released, esp. if you love guitar. The album takes you on a journey across vast plains with their smaller towns into the grit and dirt of the cities. Every track is a standout, but check out the guitar work in "It Never Rains"...
the telegraph read...
This album is a classic. You need to sit and listen from beginning to end at least five times. Then it stays with you. Do NOT listen to the above review of unsustainable moments. It a pure prog rock gem.
Audiophile heaven
If you love music, the kind of music made by people who spent years mastering there instruments out of a deep and abiding love of making music, then you WILL love this album. If Mark Knopfler doesn't play guitar in heaven then I don't wanna go there.
