From subtleman22 03/10/2013 13:26

Another solid effort. The musicianship, especially on the 14+ minute “Telegraph Road,” is superb, and Knopfler and Co. keep it compelling throughout. No mean feat for an album with only five long tracks.

From Robert Anton Wilson 11/07/2011 17:04

This is one band I have no time for their commercial output. The songwriting, lyricism, and great musicianship is highly deserving. I think this album is the one of theirs that avoids best the trappings of commercialism (although it does include Industrial disease) while truly showcasing all they have to offer. Telegraph Road is epic.

This isn't too bad. Great songwriting, I'm just not keen on how it is pulled off.
