I loving love Mark Knopfler's stuff and buy everything he does sight unseen (or rather sound unheard heh). The new one is pretty good, but a bit too downtempo and ponderous for my taste; I quite prefer "Privateering".

A lot of the songs are kind of samey and drag on way too long. Privateering was just more heterogeneous, it had everything from awesome bluesy songs to folksy laments. On Tracker, I genuinely like River Towns, Beryl (fantastic song), Long cool girl... and that's pretty much it so far, everything else seems totally forgettable and the opener is a pretty shameless retread of All the roadrunning. But eh, even mediocre Knopfler is still better than most other stuff out there, so I'm gonna give it another in-depth listen tomorrow.

Thanks for the link, amazing video. Yeah, I love the guy - also, see him live if you can, he's still a great performer, he takes his time and plays nice, long varied sets.
