My review - **SPOILERS about songs**
« on: October 01, 2018, 09:48:11 PM »
ok before posting my review, here are some explications (as usual, sorry in advance for my bad english) :

I work at french public TV channel.
I am not a journalist, I am a technician.
But during last year I had the chance to write on the site "culturebox" https://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/
and indeed my first article was for tracker release in 2015 : https://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/musique/mark-knopfler-part-en-tournee-avec-tracker-un-albumtranquille-217869
this was admitted by the "chief", but at the end of year, it made some problems with other journalists, so I had to stop writing and publishing
Since last december, I haven't write again yet. And I started my own blog on facebook 2 weeks ago : https://www.facebook.com/TextBlogRNRoll/

Next week I wil be able to write again, but limited : only 2 articles per month, and not what I want, but what the chief says to me.
my next two articles will be about 2 french artists (Miossec and Dominique A) that I don't like that much, but now it's no more a hobby it's a (second) job

So why am I telling you to you ?

Because I am in a very tigh situation, and I must be very carreful about what I do, what I say, etc...
I would love to write about Mark' next album, and I have already ask for, but it's not sure at all

So this morning I wrote to a contact I have at Universal france, and I asked him if he had a link to listen to the album.
He replied and sent it to me at the end of the afternoon.

What should I have done ? saying nothing and listen to the album ? or saying it here on AMIT, and yes I knew it would generate frustrations...
a dilemme...
I chose to share with you my impressions on my first listen, but I can NOT share the link.
I know you are all great devoted fans, but I can't take any risk regrading my situation.
I apologize for this and hope you all understand my decision

so now let's go for music...

I am curently listen to it for the 2nd time, and I will write something, but it takes a little time. be patient...

You can get in real trouble if you would share it somehow, because of "audio watermarks" or something, but I can't believe somebody actually asking you for the link. People are crazy for sure. With the review though, I don't think you have anything to worry about. It's just a music album ;D

As I don’t understand english enough to analyze lyrics, I will give my impressions on the musical side only
 
My link has 14 songs, including drover’s road, so I think that the info on official site is not accurate (regarding the edition with only 13 songs)
 
My Overall feeling :
- Very Fresh and new
- Very different from tracker
-  “modern” sounds
-   Not folkish at all
-   If I had to make a comparison, I would say it is between STP and Shangri-la
-   Lot of guitars

It’s the very first time since Shangri-la that I am “surprised” by a new MK album. Don’t get me wrong, I like all albums, but many were “predictable”, you know : folk songs, ballads, always same melodies, etc…
Here it sounds like…well not like any previous album I may say. It blends many influences from jazz, Americana, funk, lounge, blues, straits sounds…
I remember the first time I heard the STP album with What it is followed by STP. I had a similar impression today : something really new in Mark’s career, and at the same time, you know it’s him !

Ok I will write song per song; Be carefull : SPOILERS !

Somehow i have a feeling the album will be leaked before 16 nov.
It’s already out there and it takes only one fool to do it....
I understand JF completely by not doing that!
But i am very curious about what he will have to say  :thumbsup  :thumbsup
