Overall this a damn good song and should listen to it all the time. The outro is the main rhythm with guest vocalist Sting singing in a high voice "I want my, I want my, I want my MTV". You should never skip this song as it is one of the best on the album and it never gets on your nerves as much as you listen to it. Mostly it is about a worker who works in a factory and talks about rock stars on MTV, calling them 'faggots'. The lyrics are really good and very catchy to sing to, singing about "MTV" and "playing guitar" and "getting chicks for free". Mark's singing is a mixture of talking and singing which is really clever how he fits it in. Then it moves to the main rhythm of the song which is fantastic with the guitar making its cool overdrive power chords. This is some powerful song with its massively powering intro with banging drums and overdrive guitaring. This is the award winning song on the album and it deserved it. Money For Nothing is the heaviest out them all on this album. This is a heart warming entrance to the album with the outro in the background having a harmonised singing saying "Your so Far" which is really a relaxing sound. The song is about a person being far away from people in reality. The Keyboard makes the melody here with its 80s electronic sound. The mainstream of this song is its beat with the guitar making the rhythm with its clean palm muting. Marks voice is good here as it is a slow song. So Far Away starts off with palm muted gultar then straight onto the slow rock n roll rhythm. The album has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. It was one of the first albums to be released on CD, but it was also released on vinyl. With being in the number 1 spot in the billboard charts and winning grammy awards for Best Engineered Recording and "Money For Nothing" winning Best Rock Performance. This album released in 1986 is Dire Straits 5th studio album, this is the most successful album of them all.
