Dire Straits (1978) — Dire Straits

I listened to this album with Rylee, and we both really enjoyed it. The songwriting specifically really stuck out to me, which I appreciated. I think that sometimes, with bands similar to Dire Straits, the lyrics get lost in the music, but I felt like both aspects melded together beautifully here.

This album was groooovy in a laid-back way. The guitar really led the way for most of the time, but it felt intentional, not lazy.

I've listened through this album a few times now, and it's gotten better with each listen. I think this will most definitely be an album I'll revisit many times.
