Review title: Beware the Headband Years!
Product review: I sensed trouble as I listened to all the noisy, obnoxious synths on "Alchemy". I knew no good would come from the Miami Vice fashions sported by the band in the "Alchemy" concert film. But I dumped the Straits after one spin of "Brothers". Tracks 1-5 (Side One, vinyl) just flat out suck. Where is the tight, groove-oriented playing? The Knopfler knack for good storytelling? Noticeable improvement on tracks 6-9 (Side Two, vinyl), but the Straits tank on the first half. Compared to the first four albums (self titled, Communique, Making Movies, Love Over Gold), "Brothers" is a lightweight, Mr. Mister-sounding stinkeroo. Some record label hack must have sent Mark and the boys into a panic on this one. They seemed to have lost faith in their instincts, and subverted their talent to achieve mass market stardom. Pity.
