Some great tracks here. It's a shame some of them seem to drag on a little too long, especially from "why worry" onwards.
The closing track saves it.

Probably their best overall record. No weak tracks, though some go on a bit long. “Money for Nothing” was a very nice, very original radio/video blast in the dawn of the MTV era, and “One World” is just perfect, a relatively overlooked classic.

This album is undeniably a classic. Tracks like Money For Nothing, Walk Of Life, Brothers In Arms... are almost hymns.

the strangest thing about this album is it's wicked solid for the first three tracks, then gets progressively more bland. However, those three tracks are still worth admission alone.

I guess this is just before my time. The title track is pretty good and the guitar on Money for Nothing isn't bad. Although I feel like it gets a little too much attention.

Front loaded with singles, I guess... I can't remember a thing about the rest of this album other than the rather turgid title track.
