Listening for 4th time now.

Strong opening songs - very strong middle part with Tunnel 13, Janine and Watch me Gone and a beautiful closer.

Sounds really well connected and all songs fits in perfectly. Tempo isn't important, the overall sound is so atmospheric. The pedal steel is an amazing addition and every song has nice guitar playing and signature Knopfler style.

Hands down masterpiece (5/5)

Have you given 5/5 for other solo albums after a few listenings?

No, i have never rated any album on here i think.. It's tricky because all new MK is overwhelming ofcourse and i'm always enthousiastic... But i really think this is among his best albums..

On 3th place after STP/GH for me.. but maybe it's too early to rank it like this

Is there any song that talks about something similar to Drover's Road?

I guess he means about rural England like in Before Gas & TV, Yon Two Crows and Drovers Road. Folky themes. But there is no folk music on this record as such. Maybe small echoes of it in This One's Not Going To End Well.

I was thinking more about man himself and his contact with nature before it all started (Before Gas And TV)

Man, I have trouble to put my impressions in words. I am totally overwhelmed by the quality of this record in every aspect. And the absence of stuff that always annoyed me. His songwriting has made a huge step. He gets more personal, more spiritual. I had not expected this to be so good. I try to write a more detailed review the next days.

Really waiting for your review, because I know that you can also be critical.
