Title: Dire Straits&#65533;the lounge version
Product review: With songs like the insipid "Ticket to Heaven" and the lounge sound of "My Parties," (a song that tries to have the sarcastic flair of a Randy Newman but fails miserably) On Every Street gives the listener Dire Straits at its weakest. Knopfler's guitar sounds buried under the mix, and he affects a bass voice that just doesn't register. Even songs that could have proven to be winners like "Calling Elvis," the title track and "Heavy Fuel" seem to have been recorded while the band was in a state of depression. This is one of the band's worst recordings and along with Love Over Gold the one most easily skipped by the casual fan.
