This is a Awesome CD by a Fantastic Artist! All of Mark Knopflers CD's are very good. But, This one is my personal favorite! I have always liked Artists who do there own thing. And, M.K. is definitely in that group. So, To Hell With The Critics!

I love Mark Knopfler music...I thought. What I love is his guitar, which apparently has been relegated to 40 seconds of low key filler at the end of each song.
The songs: pleasant to boring. Mark, for the love of Jesus, please find your guitar mojo and bring it back.

I just heard the new album by The Dreaming called Etched in Blood and I think that if you like this CD you should for sure check it out. The Dreaming has a unique mix of punk, metal, and darkwave capturing emotional rock. It really is one of my favorite albums of 2008 so far. Check it out.

Mark es único...y su música tiene una sensibilidad especial, asi como su ejecución de la guitarra...solo quienes le seguimos extrañamos el rock en sus albumes recientes muy centrados en el folk y country.
La variedad musical de un disco como Sailing to Philadelphia no la ha vuelto a repetir, pero sabemos que lo hará en cualquier momento.
Este señor es sin lugar a dudas uno de los guitarristas más grandes de todos los tiempos.
Knopfler's Best! May 16, 2008

Within the very narrow corridors of the iTunes obsessed (music as disposable content) recording industry, Mark Knopfler's Kill To Get Crimson is a welcome reminder of a not too distant past when complete "albums" were not just the medium but the message as well.
Knopfler's work on KTGC is nothing short of astonishing, vividly flowing together as a twelve title song cycle that strolls through the last three generations of British popular (and not so popular) culture - looking through the window of pawn brokers, failed artists, humbled actors, corporate sycophants and the occasional MILF. This is Britannic Tin Pan Alley and is easily the best work that Knopfler has ever done.
The shimmering production and fully realized artistic vision makes KTGC an essential and critical distraction from an era where rock stars are either invented on games shows or lamely masquerade as Disney Channel ingenues.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
