Free Music Notes for Love Over Gold
Free Music Review: Solid but a little indulgent...
Hit: 3 Stars
After the amazing "Making Movies", the band returned a year and a half later with "Love Over Gold", an album that had their fewest tracks yet (only 5), featuring the ambitious 14-minute "Telegraph Road". The storytelling of the big number is a bit over the top, and even the usually precise Knopfler's solo is muddy and the production seems out of control as the song seems to build like a tornado towards a dramatic ending that never appears. "Private Investigations" is a 4 minute song that adds an extra 3 minutes comprised of little more than a plucked bass line. The remainder of the album is better; "Industrial Disease" reveals a playful side of Knopfler set to a catchy danceable number; and the album's concluding track, "It Never Rains", is a strong number reminiscent of "Making Movies". All in all...it's not a bad effort, but considering it's sandwiched in time between Dire Straits' two masterpieces, it's tough to rate it highly. Knopfler's lofty ambitions would have to wait three more years...
Love Over Gold Poster
This Mark Knopfler-dominated release from Dire Straits (as if there were any other kind) features the ringing guitar work and clever lyrics we've come to expect from the band over time. The dark, moody gravel of Knopfler's voice mutters, mumbles, and muses through songs like "Telegraph Road" and "Private Investigations" and virtually giggles through the silly patter of "Industrial Disease." The title track and "It Never Rains" are solid, if unremarkable offerings from the band that has come to represent the epitome of one man's vision of good ol' rock & roll. --L.A.
