Brothers In Arms brought the atmospheric, jazz-rock inclinations of Love Over Gold into a pop setting, resulting in a surprise international bestseller. Of course, the success of Brothers In Arms was helped considerably by the clever computer-animated video for “Money for Nothing” and a sardonic attack by MTV. But what kept the record selling was Knopfler’s increased sense of pop songcraft – “Money For Nothing” had an incredible guitar riff, “Walk Of Life” is a catchy uptempo boogie variation on “Sultans of Swing,” and the melodies of the bluesy “So Far Away” and downtempo Everly Brothers-style “Why Worry” were wistful and lovely. Dire Straits had never been so concise or pop-oriented, and it wore well on the album.
