1) So Far Away 2) Money For Nothing 3) Walk Of Life 4) Your Latest Trick 5) Why Worry 6) Ride Across The River 7) The Man's Too Strong 8) One World 9) Brothers In Arms
My Opinion:
Let me get this straight... a cartoon video sold 13 million albums??? This seems impossible. It's not a great album, none of these songs are close to great. Walk of life is good at best, and So Far Away is long and drawn out. I can't say this album is good. It's against my moral upbringing. If Sultans of Swing were on... that's a different story.
This album has no business in the top 10.
My Rating: 4 - Go get someone else to install color TV's.
Need to own - Just buy the greatest hits. This album is terrible.
We are DEVO

I have this CD for the simple fact that I love "So Far Away." The rest, well, like you said, Devo, aren't that great.

I think they were just ready to peak commercially when they released Brothers In Arms. I think 'Money For Nothing' still holds up pretty well today, but back in the day it just seemed custom built to be a mega hit with that whole "I want my MTV" being sung by Sting, and the rock guitar intro. They were a highly credible group at the time, and that song was totally commercial. It worked. Personally, I always hated the animated section of the video, I much preferred the... glowing headbands.
