There are hit records. And then there are blockbusters. One of the world s best-selling records, a winner of two Grammy Awards, an era-defining reference statement, an MTV favorite, and a set that catapulted an already-acclaimed band to arena status, Dire Straits  Brothers in Arms is the kind of epic spectacular that comes around only once or twice a decade. Surpassed only in fame and visibility during the period by Michael Jackson s Thriller, the 1985 album remains idiosyncratic for its covetable combination of adventurous songwriting, precision-based performances, and reference-caliber fidelity.
While it s easy to speculate that the colossal success of Brothers in Arms relates to its timing – its release during an era obsessed with catchy singles, flashy MTV videos, and whistle-friendly melodies – reasons for the album s chart-busting success primarily owe to the expertly crafted songs and memorable playing turned in by a group hitting its creative peak.
Anchored by Money for Nothing, a caustically themed smash immediately identifiable via Mark Knopfler s resonant finger-picked guitar riff and Sting s I want my MTV vocal refrain, Dire Straits  fifth album is stuffed with bluesy signatures, jazz-rock motifs, clever lyrics, and organic accents. Diversity and consistency also extend to the songs moods. Singing with his trademark light-to-the-touch timbre, Knopfler conjures feelings of poignancy, peacefulness, and mellowness, channeling wistfulness on the Top 10 single So Far Away and somber assurance on Why Worry.
