REAPERAug 6, 2006The only reason I did not give this a zero is because it's Tom Petty, but his voice is gone south, his creativity is gone south, and this album is nothing more than an attempt to get money. Come on, 12 years since his last album... whatever! I don't like giving bad reviews or sounding negative but this is absolutely awful!

AndyWOct 23, 2006Using similar riffs and harmonies, this CD sounds like the "Full-Moon fever" and "Wildflowers" efforts. Almost too much so..still enjoyable nonetheless.

jyotirmayadNov 12, 2006I have never bought a Tom petty album before but this one will have me going through his back catalogue to see what else I have been missing. A solid effort with great melodies and lyrics.

DougCOct 23, 2006Spare in production. Strong in lyrical impact. The more I listened, the more I liked it.

BrandonSJul 25, 2006Is it as good as WIldflowers and Full Moon Fever? No. Is it an excellent collection by one of the greatest songwriters of our time? Absolutely.

NiklasYJul 28, 2006Is it as good as Full Moon Fever? Oh yes, it is better, though it "lacks" a free fallin hit. But a hit doesn't make a great record. And it is more consistent than Wildflowers. It grows on you every time you listen to it, probably one of Petty's most deep and melancholic albums.

ToddWSep 27, 2006The mere fact that he's fought the law, aka the Record Industry, as well as championing the likes of genuises like Roger McGuinn, who the suits long ago forgot, for his entire career spurs me to buy anything he does. The man may not be putting out the quality songs of his early Heartbreaker years, but at least he still has something worthwhile to say. Listen up, Sheep.

GuyHOct 12, 2006It is fair to say that this album is hardly groundbreaking ... but there is something undeniably appealing about Tom Petty's music. I recently purchased 5 albums along with Highway Companion - and I would definitely rate this as the weakest of the bunch. However, when it comes to choosing a soundtrack to my journey home from work each day - Petty wins almost very time! 'Nuff said.

MarkDOct 12, 2006Tom was around for the best of Rock and or Rollin. Tom has allowed his music to evolve into 2006. Love this record!

MattD.Jul 25, 2006If not equal to his very best, it's close. Nothing really different here musically, but that's ok - good old Tom Petty music is fine with me. Lyrically, it speaks to people his age, but the lyrics can be appreciated by all.

TrevorBJul 25, 2006I got this CD about two weeks ago and have got to say that it's been in pretty much constant rotation since then. The way Petty communicates the feeling of time fleeting and loss is relatable by everyone. The songs are beautiful and inspired. By far, this is the best CD so far of 2006.

If [Petty]'s third solo album proves to be his last, he has delivered one of rock's most eloquent goodbyes.

A surprisingly moody affair.

Los Angeles TimesIt's... a more writerly exercise than typical of his concise and straightforward Heartbreakers hits. [23 Jul 2006]
