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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

This is my favorite Dire Straits album. Mark Knopfler's guitar playing is superb, and the songwriting is just amazing. Several of the songs have long, introspective instrumentals, which is a nice departure from some of their other albums.
