Pretty good music, lyrics less so and Knopfler hasn't the strongest voice, whereas his guitar work is excellent. Not up the group's first LP and some later work rather better IMO - l may be wrong about this so far as Dire Straits keener fans are concerned. Worth a listen and more.

This is a fabulous Dire Straits album... Released in June 1979 and got some negative reviews... 'Communique' was released less than nine months after the group's acclaimed debut album and did not manage to produce any hits. However the group's second album is still a thoroughly enjoyable listen and a solid, non-commercial offering from Dire Straits. It's best to ignore negative press and listen right through yourself. Intelligently written with a more stripped down sound than their later work, featuring the original lineup of Mark and David Knopfler, John Illsley and Pick Withers (it was the last album to feature David). Side one of the original vinyl release opens with the excellent ‘Once Upon A West’, however side two is much stronger, opening with the catchy ‘Lady Writer’ and ‘Angel of Mercy’, and the band save the very best ones until the end with ‘Single-Handed Sailor' and the gorgeous, hypnotic album closer 'Follow Me Home'. This is however an album that should be listened to right through. Communique went onto sell over 7 million copies on release (hardly a failure) and still sounds as fresh today as in 1979. One of Dire Straits’ best. Highly recommended.Read full review
