Title: How do you like the album, a year down the road?
Post by: hunter on December 05, 2019, 02:12:58 PM
Got to say I rarely play it these days. It's a good album, but I'm hardly excited about it.

The same for me.   There are a lot of songs I like very much, but it isn't amongst my favourite MK albums.

One of my favourite albums. Hear it on waves (like most of my music/artists)

Good question.  Now is the best time to review an album now the initial excitement has worn off.  I personally only really listen to OSAAT now, but I prefer the bootlegs.  It really wasn't his worst album.

Yes some really good songs in this album, but I prefer listening to live recordings and watching live videos with good sound... It's like MK once said himself:

"My songs are made to be performed live"

Yes, I agree, it is a shame he didn't perform more from the new album, because the ones he did perform were much better than the album versions.   These days I am listening to the live shows more than the albums.

A year later, it remains the worst of his production, along with Kill to get crimson, in my opinion. Even songs that I would appreciate so much, like Trapper Man or Back on the dance floor or Good on you son itself, I consider them "ruined" by something; in this case, by that cold and "mechanic" drumbeat.
Let's be clear, it's still Mark, so high levels, but definitely not one of my favorites.

It has been in stand by since the tour started, it's a usual reaction from me to the fact that MK is touring and no playing the best songs for that record, actually, playing just two, so I can stand listening to it.

Once the tour is over, I played it again this weekend while doing some home duties and I have to say that I still love it, and it's a piti that just two songs made it into the tour, and not the best ones imho...

I think many more of the songs from Mark's solo career would have been more special too us had he played more of them live, or simply "supported" the album which the tour was named after. Too many songs are just put out there (on the album) and never revisited. It's a strange way to treat his "children".


Granted, not all songs may work well live, but surely on DTRW there were several that would have been fantastic live.

This is true, although it is also true that as the years go by it gets harder and harder to fit every album in the setlist as Mark, at least, tries to do.

GH - Bonaparte is almost always there, Rudiger and Cannibals appeared once or twice and left forever (Are We In Trouble Now ??).
STP - Speedway is always there and WII and STP also feature regularly. At least I was lucky enough to hear Silvertown, but The Long Highway, which would have been great with the LP Signature and even Who's Your Baby Now is a fun song to listen to: shelved forever.
TRD - Why Aye Man brought back this year and Hill Farmer's Blues, which is a masterpiece, left. The Ragpicker's Dream could have been there this tour. Criminally underrated.
SL - Postcards is there, but why not Boom Like That?
KTGC - Heart Full of Holes was finally brought up.
GL - Piper is there, so was Reiver in 2010, but where's Before Gas and TV, So Far From the Clyde?
Privateering - Always CBC. But songs like Go Love never appeared, as well as Redbud Tree (correct me if wrong).
Tracker - Another mystery. The choices in 2015 tour were ridiculous. Beryl would be great live: nowhere to be seen. Terminal Of Tribute To, My Heart Has Never Changed?
DTRW - Another mystery. NDT (this one left for good after it crossed the Pyrenees), MM and MBR were there, but OSAAT, Heavy Up and BOTDF were ruled out.

Of course, as always, Mark plays what he wants and 2019 was an improvement on 2015. But there are so many songs we'll never get around to hear live because he always chooses the same ones from the albums.

Agree on HFB, top class masterpiece!
But as I said before, it's likely that the set has to be suitable for the brass.
Which is not a shame, but yes, I missed several songs this time, like HFB, Telegraph an standard (why was it really dropped?), OSAAT from the new record, etc etc..

But again, I have the feeling the songs have to fit the brass-part, and therefore and lot of great ones were not played.

Maybe the brass guys forced TR to be dropped because they got bored, and Mark replied with "OK, Nobody does that one!"  :lol refering to NDT which was dropped too...

Probably not the case, but anyway, setlist must fit the brass was probably the main focus...

Post by: TheTimeWasWrong on December 10, 2019, 07:47:43 PM
So many songs from Privateering could have been played this year... Redbud (played in 2012!), YTC, Seattle, Kingdom Of Gold, Gator Blood, Dream Of The Drowned Submariner. I expected Silvertown being dropped but TR was just brutal, together with WAM and SAN it was one of the last pieces with some signature MK guitar work. From STP we had at least Baloney and PW in previous tours, can't complain about TRD either (HFB and Marbletown were overplayed really).

It's a bummer this tour didn't rock a little bit more. Trapper, BOTD, OSAAT, Metroland (would have been perfect with the brassies), BLT, Cleaning My Gun, Coyote. I just keep hoping he does one more tour ;D

I have to admit that I hardly listen to it these days.   It has never been one of my favourite albums, but I love Drover's Road very much, also Nobody's Child, When You Leave and Floating Away.   I loved My Bacon Roll and Matchstick Man, played live on tour,  much better than the album version.

If you mean MK albums I would have to choose those where there are no skippers for me and those are Shangri-La
and Tracker.  Kill To Get Crimson and The Ragpicker's Dream come close, but all of MKs albums have beautiful songs on them even though there are one or two skippers.   :)  I agree it's a problem choosing from such wonderful albums!

Ooooh, now you are asking! I suppose it has to be GH because of it being the first solo album and to me the album that started MKs Solo path. Musically and Lyrically it's up there along with all of his albums.
Albums wise I cannot say an out right favourite because I find I listen to an MK album dependant on what mood I'm in. All of the albums are gems in my eyes. Not much help in this debate!

I would never dream of skipping a song from Mark, they all have merit, but there is something about this album that is lower standard than the rest, the problem is Mark sets such a high standard, that's not to say I dislike the album at all, it has some great moments, but out of all of his albums, I would put it at the bottom, and trust me, that is hard for me to admit. I don't know if it's the whole brass instruments thing, I just don't think it is Mark's thing for his songs, or the jazz leaning his is going to, or a combination of both, it's hard to put my finger on what it is, he is and always will be a great guitarist and song writer though.

Exactly. I felt that he really had no interest in working in out, almost every song is a copy from older stuff and what's new about it has undoubtedly Guy's signature on it. Where is the sense in copying all kind of styles like disco etc and not putting something unique in it? Bacon Roll is an echoe of what once made MK songs so very special and unique. Even the rendition of Matchstick Man I cannot stand because of his wet, lazy and almost drunk vocal style. Hate it. Drowers Road had potential for me but sounds just like a worse version of BGATV. The drums on Trapper Man and OSAAT destroy the song, and on and on. It is the most non-MK MK album for me. The brass is just a try to fresh things up being aware that it is all very very thin. I give him that most of his lyrics are really great and show a development. But the connected music to them is a failure to me. This album made me say Goodbye to him.

I know it's just "another album", but to me, MK releases always were absolute important, almost sacred moments, knowing that this music would be with me for the rest of my life. Remember the picture that all albums are like children, you live them all, this one would turn out to be the child from another man (sorry for being so drastic its just a picture) so the love relation is heavily tested, under pressure and more or less destroyed.

I'm sorry to read your comments LE. Harsh to say goodbye to MK isn't it? After all you rightly say the lyrics are just genius. I admit some of the music is very Guy orientated but underneath it all it is still MK....hate is such a strong word especially in this sad old world and I certainly do not HATE any of MKs work - dislike perhaps....
Matchstick man is just classic MK - Simular, but 2nd to HOO.....

I'm revisiting this album tonight, after a long time. I'm not listening intently, just playing it on Bluetooth earbuds as background music while I'm working on the computer.

I have to say I like it. Not everything is great, and it doesn't have moments that outright "kill" (in that positive sense), but variation is good, and it flows nicely.

I still like it so much like the first day, I was very dissapointed with Tracker, which for me was very boring with only four songs that I liked (Laughs and jokes, Basil, Beryl and Silver eagle) and DTRW was like fresh air for me and I liked very much that the songs didn't had that long, repetitive and meaninless ending that most of the songs in Tracker had, all the songs in DTRW were musically well arranged, specially jewels like "Good on you son" that had great break parts like the drums/percussion solo, followed by a great sax part etc

Post by: Love Expresso on March 27, 2024, 12:46:53 PM
I hated it and still don't like it. It made me fall off from MK/DS for almost four years. Four years where I did not listen to a single song or recording. There were some arrogant interview moments during the promo also which me also let me loose my love for MK which lasted for more than 30 years.

When my old record player finally broke forever in the summer of 2023, I decided to invest in a better system, dust off my old small record collection and started to buy vinyl again.

I got both solo Boxes but things changed with the Live Box. It was a strong comeback. I loved the stuff and fell in love again with Dire Straits. And now I am "Back in the saddle again" and the whole action about the new album is something I enjoy very much.

And I listened a couple of times to DTRW now (vinyl)  and find some good songs here and there, maybe five. But it still is the biggest disappointment as an album to me since the first DS album.

I have the feeling Mark went through some hard times from 2018 to maybe 2022 or so. But today he is changed and still the man I used to admire. He comes across very chilled and happy and I love everything he did this year so far. Long may it continue!

One thing that strucks me from this record is that my two favourite songs, one was a discarted bonus track, "Back in the day" and a song that was even considered at all like "Precious voice from heaven".

Also some of the bonus tracks for me are superior to released songs!

Bot overall, I like it a lot.

I hated it and still don't like it. It made me fall off from MK/DS for almost four years. Four years where I did not listen to a single song or recording. There were some arrogant interview moments during the promo also which me also let me loose my love for MK which lasted for more than 30 years.

When my old record player finally broke forever in the summer of 2023, I decided to invest in a better system, dust off my old small record collection and started to buy vinyl again.

I got both solo Boxes but things changed with the Live Box. It was a strong comeback. I loved the stuff and fell in love again with Dire Straits. And now I am "Back in the saddle again" and the whole action about the new album is something I enjoy very much.

And I listened a couple of times to DTRW now (vinyl)  and find some good songs here and there, maybe five. But it still is the biggest disappointment as an album to me since the first DS album.

I have the feeling Mark went through some hard times from 2018 to maybe 2022 or so. But today he is changed and still the man I used to admire. He comes across very chilled and happy and I love everything he did this year so far. Long may it continue!

Just to clarify by what you wrote that I highlighted in bold: Do you mean biggest disappointment of all his albums since the first DS album? Or was the first DS album your biggest disappointment up until DTRW?

Oh... language barrier ... I might have said that wrong. What I meant was that fom all his albums including DS, DTRW was the biggest disappointment.

That's what I thought you meant  :)

For me KTGC was the biggest disappointment, followed by Tracker.
