It was also among ten albums nominated for the best British album of the previous 30 years by the in 2010, ultimately losing to. Contents.Recording Brothers in Arms was recorded from October 1984 to February 1985 at on the island of, a in the Caribbean. The album was produced by songwriter and, who had engineered Dire Straits 1982 album and Knopfler's 1983 soundtrack album.Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums recorded on a Sony 24-track digital tape machine. The decision to move to digital recording came from Knopfler's constant striving for better sound quality. 'One of the things that I totally respected about him,' Dorfsman observed, 'was his interest in technology as a means of improving his music. He was always willing to spend on high-quality equipment.'

Before arriving at Montserrat, Knopfler had written all the songs and rehearsed them with the band. The studio lineup included Knopfler (guitar), (bass), (piano and Hammond B3 organ) and, who was new to the band, playing a synth rig that consisted of a huge new, a couple of Roland keyboards and a. Was the band's then-permanent drummer.

The studio itself was small, with a 20-by-25-foot (6 m × 8 m) recording space that offered virtually no isolation. 'It was a good-sounding studio,' Dorfsman later recalled, 'but the main room itself was nothing to write home about. The sound of that studio was the desk,' referring to the board.Knopfler and Dorfsman utilised the limited space to best effect, placing the drum kit in the far left corner, facing the control room, miked with MD421s on the toms, an RE20 and D12 on the kick drum, a SM57 and AKG C451 with a 20 dB pad on the snare, 451s for overheads and the hi-hat, and U87s set back a little to capture 'some kind of ambience'. They placed the piano in a tight booth in the far right corner of the studio, miked with AKG C414s. The Hammond B3 was placed nearby, with its crammed into an airlock next to the control room. Illsley's bass amplifier was recorded inside a small vocal booth with a Neumann FET 47 and a. Knopfler's amplifiers were miked with 57s, 451s, and Neumann U67s.

Fletcher's synths were placed in the control room.During the recording of ', the signature sound of Knopfler's guitar may have been enhanced by a 'happy accident' of microphone placement. Knopfler was using his going through a Laney amplifier. While setting up the guitar amplifier microphones in an effort to get the ' sound' that Knopfler sought, guitar tech Ron Eve, who was in the control room, heard the 'amazing' sound before Dorfsman was finished arranging the mics. 'One mic was pointing down at the floor,' Dorfsman remembered, 'another was not quite on the speaker, another was somewhere else, and it wasn't how I would want to set things up—it was probably just left from the night before, when I'd been preparing things for the next day and had not really finished the setup.' What they heard was exactly what ended up on the record; no additional processing or effects were used during the mix.According to a magazine interview with Neil Dorfsman, the performance of then-permanent drummer was considered to be unsuitable for the desired sound of the album during the first month of the recording sessions. Williams was temporarily replaced by jazz session drummer, who re-recorded the album's drum parts during a two-day stay before leaving for other commitments.

Both Hakim and Williams are credited on the album, although Williams' only contribution was the improvised crescendo at the beginning of 'Money for Nothing'. Was briefly with the band as a drummer. Williams rejoined for the music videos and the. Composition ' became one of the most-played music videos on. It is one of only two Dire Straits songs on a studio album not to be solely credited to Knopfler (the other being 'The Carousel Waltz' which opens ), with guest vocalist Sting given a co-writing credit due to the melody of the repeated 'I want my MTV' (sung by Sting) in the song's fadeout echoing the melody of the Police's '. ' was a number two hit for the band in the UK in early 1986 and a number seven hit in the United States later that year. The song was nearly left off the album, but was included after the band out-voted producer Neil Dorfsman.On the second side of the album, three songs ('Ride Across the River', 'The Man's Too Strong' and ') are lyrically focused on militarism.

'Ride Across the River' uses immersive Latin American imagery, accompanied by synthesized, a reggae-influenced drum part and eerie background noises. 'The Man's Too Strong' depicts the character of an ancient soldier (or war criminal) and his fear of showing feelings as a weakness. 'Brothers in Arms' deals with the senselessness of war. Artwork The guitar featured on the front of the album cover is Mark Knopfler's 1937 14-fret Style 'O'. The Style 'O' line of guitars was introduced in 1930 and discontinued in 1941.

The photographer was Deborah Feingold. The back cover features a painting of the same guitar, by German artist Thomas Steyer. A similar image was also used, with a similar color scheme, for the 1989 album by.Release Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums directed at the CD market, and was a full at a time when most popular music was recorded on analog equipment. It was also released on (abridged to fit on one LP). Producer Neil Dorfsman says the digital multitrack was mixed on an analog board with the resulting two track mix re-digitized via a Prism A/D converter and recorded on a DAT machine.Brothers in Arms was the first album to sell one million copies in the CD format and to outsell its LP version. A employee would subsequently write, 'In 1985 we were fighting to get our CDs manufactured because the entire worldwide manufacturing capacity was overwhelmed by demand for a single rock title (Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms).'

It was also released in format in 2000, then the 20th Anniversary Edition was issued in format on 26 July 2005 (becoming the 3000th title for the SACD format) and format with 24 bit/96 kHz track on 16 August 2005, remixed in 5.1 by and winning a for Best Surround Sound Album at the ceremony.In 2006, a half-speed-mastered vinyl version of the album was issued.

In a scathing review for, criticised Knopfler's 'mawkish self-pity, his lugubriously mannered appropriation of rockin', his thumpingly crass attempts at wit'. He also accused the album of the 'tritest would-be melodies in history, the last word in tranquilising chord changes, the most cloying lonesome playing and ultimate in transparently fake troubador sentiment ever to ooze out of a million-dollar recording studio'. Eleanor Levy of dismissed the ' guitars reeking of mega bucks and sell out stadium concerts throughout the globe.

Laid back melodies. Dire Straits – summed up.

This is like any other Dire Straits album quarried out of the tottering edifice of rock.' The reviews from other UK music papers were less harsh, with Jack Barron of feeling that 'it's only a halfway decent album because it has only halfway decent songs. Knopfler has distilled his sonic essence, via blues, to appeal to billboard romantics with cinemascope insecurities. And he can pull it off well. But not often enough here.'

's observed that Knopfler had recently explored different creative directions with his work on movie soundtracks and on 's, and bemoaned that 'this admirable spirit of adventure fails to materialise. Instead it sounds just a bit too like the last Dire Straits album, which sounded not unlike the last one before that, which sounded suspiciously like the beginning of a hugely successful and very lucrative plan to take over the world known as '. He concluded, 'the old rockschool restraints and the undeniably attractive smell of the winning formula seem to block out any such experimental work and what you end up with is something very like the same old story.'

US reviews were more positive. Writing for magazine, E. Brooks praised Knopfler's guitar work and noted that 'when the intensity of his words approaches that of his ravishing stratocaster licks, the song soars. That doesn't happen as often as I'd like on this new album. but I find myself returning to certain cuts the way one might come back to a favorite chair.'

Brooks singled out the 'haunting ballad' 'Your Latest Trick', the 'acerbic satire of vid-rock culture' in 'Money for Nothing' and the 'outstanding craftsmanship in the words and music' of the title track, which was 'not a new message, but at least something other than sex, cars, or drugs is being talked about here. Take that and the quality of the musicianship, and you've got a lot.' Debby Bull gave the album a mixed review for magazine, praising the 'carefully crafted' effort, writing, 'The record is beautifully produced, with Mark Knopfler's terrific guitar work catching the best light'. Although she found the lyrics literate, Bull noted that the scenarios 'aren't as interesting as they used to be on records like Making Movies'. Despite the production values and notable contributions from guest artists like drummer and the, Bull concluded that 'the music lacks the ache that made Knopfler's recent soundtracks for and so powerful.' In Rolling Stone 's end-of-year round-up of 1985's key albums, Fred Schruers said that 'Knopfler's nimble, evocative guitar style and gentle vocalizing are still as appealing as they were on previous scenario-rich albums'.Later reviews have praised the record.

Reviewing the remastered Dire Straits albums in 1996, Rob Beattie of awarded Brothers in Arms five stars out of five, and wrote that 'repeated listening reveals it as a singularly melancholic collection – see the guitar slashing of 'The Man's Too Strong' and the title track, where joy is as sharp as sorrow'. In a 2007 review for, Chris Jones called Brothers in Arms 'a phenomenon on every level. A suite of Knopfler's very fine brand of -lite'. In his retrospective review for, gave the album four out of five stars, crediting the international success of the album not only to the clever computer-animated video for 'Money for Nothing', but also to Knopfler's 'increased sense of pop songcraft'. According to Erlewine, Dire Straits had 'never been so concise or pop-oriented, and it wore well on them'.

Erlewine concluded that the album remains 'one of their most focused and accomplished albums, and in its succinct pop sense, it's distinctive within their catalog'.In 2010, when Brothers in Arms was among ten albums nominated for the best British album of the past 30 years by the, music broadcaster and author described the list of nominees as 'risible' but added, ' Brothers in Arms runs away with it for the quality of songwriting and musicianship.'

In the Netherlands, the album used to hold the record for longest run ever on the Dutch Album chart with 269 weeks (non-consecutive) but lost it to in 2016.British music journalist wrote:Looked at now with 20/20 vision of hindsight, the image on the sleeve of Brothers in Arms seems uncannily prophetic: that National steel guitar heading up into the clouds—a shiny 6 stringed rocket devoid of any obvious means of propulsion—describes, better than any words can, what happened to Dire Straits after the release of their 5th studio album. Up till the summer of 1985 success had, for them, come as a by-product of the music making process. They had never courted celebrity, chased fads, or played safe. Dire Straits had been loved and respected as one of the few bands to have maintained strong and credible links with the multifarious roots of rock and roll at a time—remember all the desperate pop posing of the early 80s?—when roots were emphatically not a fashionable place to be.'
