High praise album review - german
« on: November 12, 2018, 07:33:33 PM »
I just discovered the first pure german-speaking Album review/critic.

https://www.mittelbayerische.de/kultur/musik/kritik/mark-knopfler-down-the-road-wherever-21927-art1718272.html

DTRW gets an excellent rating, concluding with "a great album from the hands of a great musician. Rating: Masterpiece"
I'll be back with an english translation in an hour ...

Very nice review!
But i wonder how many different types of the album's name i read before. Here they title it "Down the Road Forever" within in the text. Somewhere else i have seen "Down the Road Whenever". There were some more pity mistakes i can hardly remember...it can't be that hard to get the title right one is writing about...<imagine rolling eyes here>

There is a separate thread for reviews. Could you post it there?

Or as I said during the Fair Admission process when things were just so unclearly explained and left a lot of questions for all of us:

Down The Confusing Unclear Road Whatever Wherever  ;D

So they don't even know the name of the album and call it a masterpiece? Why stop it there, call it magnum opus or chef-d’œuvre :lol

Please. This is just a small mistake.

But I understand. This is an extremely different review than your feelings:)

But it's really funny. No negativity intended. Here goes the album "Down The Road Whatever", it's a masterpiece!

You know, Bob Dylan has an album called "Masterpieces": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masterpieces_(Bob_Dylan_album)

Don't you think it's a little bit too much of a word? I don't even talk about the album itself, just one single word.

Also, I like to be the most hated AMIT member of all times  :thumbsdown :lol
From now on I will continue to troll you all just for the fun of it.

I think that was me during the Tracker tour when I was critical of his performances and setlists.  Don't worry, it can all turn around!  ;)

and here's my english translation (certainly not perfect but hopefully slightly better than "Google translation"  ;):

MARK KNOPFLER – DOWN THE ROAD WHEREVER

It almost seems as if nothing in this world could upset this man. Sitting relaxed on his motorcycle, getting inspired by Britain's nature and then entering the studio to form his impressions and passing thoughts on the fly to great songs. The image, conveyed by the video clip for the first single "Good on you Son", is not deceptive: "Down the road forever" is the next stroke of genius by Mark Knopfler.

You'll hardly discover Mark Knopfler in melodramatic newspaper headlines or talent show juries, according to a biography of the guitarist, singer and composer, who has left behind the celebrity life in the spotlight long ago. This kind of life no (longer) fits to the former head of the dire straits, who is very successful as a solo-artist since "Golden Heart" (1996).
Regardless of the high chart positions Mark Knopfler is undoubtedly one of the most important rock musicians. His playing skills are as distinctive as his voice. You expect much, when Knopfler releases a new album, and on "Down the road wherever" you get much:
Accomplished songwriting jewels, presented in the distinctive Knopfler-style.

The ninth solo-output, once more emerged with long-term companion Guy Fletcher, accelerates quickly. After an experienced-rocking kick-off ("Trapper man") "Back On The Dance Floor" is sneaking up from behind with an outrageously catchy refrain. Bit of 80's flair is around - the image of the go-getting star of the past, in terms of fashion slightly disoriented and musically revolutionary, is popping up now and then in the course of the album. Like a mischievous boy, reflected in the eyes of the wise, older man, giving himself modestly.

"My whistle under the archways still echoes down the street and all the way back to Deptford days": Of course, the mention of the place of establishment of “dire straits” breathes nostalgia. The corresponding song is significantly called "One song at a time". You inevitably bob up and down from the first chords, devote yourself to the Knopfler-style seduction-procedure of emotional depth and delicately smoothed melodies and listen spellbound to his story - immediately noticing: He still can do it. Like no other.

Major highlights include again the ballads - getting directly under your skin: "When You Leave" is nothing less than one of the most beautiful love songs of the year. "Slow Learner" appears like a muted statement against the seemingly uncontrollable present-time fast pace. "Matchstick man" deals with an apparently clichéd topic (lone musician at Christmas) in such a wonderful way, that you find yourself remaining delightfully in silence after the end of the song.
A great album. From the hands of a great musician.
