''Brothers in Arms'' is the fifth studio album by the British rock band Dire Straits, released in 1985. The first half of the album is a development of their unique brand of arena rock which had evolved in their music since the 1980 album ''Making Movies'', while the second half consists of more folk-influenced material. The whole album maintains the original Dire Straits' bluesy and laid back guitar-based style whilst utilising a more lavish and bombastic production and overall sound. It is the band's best-selling album, one of the top 10 best-selling albums in UK music history, and has sold 30 million copies worldwide . - Wikipedia
