Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms        (3 of 6 found this review helpful)
  June 5, 2005

An early all digital rock album, it's got a lot of really good songs that open up nicely on this 5.1 multichannel release, which makes the disc essential. The sound may not be as good as The Who's "Tommy" or Steely Dan's "Gaucho" or Beck's "Sea Changes" or Roxy Music's "Avalon" or...(you get the ... more
