Title: One Last Time Through the Straits
Product review: Dire Straits was a great album band, a fact that got obscurred from the success of numerous singles from their 1985 mega platinum album "Brothers in Arms." "On Every Street," the long awaited follow up and the band's swan song released six years later, was not nearly popular because it returned to the band's strength, namely stong songwriting without necessarily including the kind of pop hooks that please a mass audience. Not to say there aren't some really good songs. "Heavy Fuel," is a funky guitar piece where the narration is similar to "Money for Nothing." "The Bug" will remind you of "Walk of Life" if you let it and numerous other songs creat a strong impression.Overall, "On Every Street," is a strong Dire Straits album that is weakened only by a couple of filler tracks late in the proceedings. It should be fulfilling for fans and enough to hold the attention of more casual listeners.
