I've been listening to this cd all week long and have yet to tire of it. A new TP album is always a treat.

This may be considered his masterpiece by some - for me? It simply rocks. If you are a fan of Petty, this album will be a refreshing change from the Echo and Wildflowers years. Much more upbeat and playful in this theme album, and the guitar work is its' usual spectacular!

There is nothing wrong with this album. Classic Petty!!! The DVD that comes with it is great

Fantastic. Petty continues to offer up something new musically, and as always makes the spiritual case for rock and roll as the cure for its own ills.

I'm a big Petty fan, but I have to admit that I just hate this album, it's easily his worst. the title song may be one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my entire life. the only song i did like is "dreamville" and i'd recommend getting that one off of itunes or something.

My favorite album of his since Wildflowers. The critics have their own opinions, but I believe the ones that dislike this album compare it to his greatest hits album. There is a lot more to Petty then his greatest hits so before you criticize this album for being "unlike Tom Petty," maybe you should listen to the many other songs of his. Thanks for another masterpiece Tom!!

Great. Some of Petty's best Work.

Great album! At this time and era this is lyrically a true punk rock album. Not many artist can deal with this subject with such grace and wit. Many artists also wouldn't dare to touch this subject cause they'd be afraid of loosing airplay, or their label's A&R guy would be scared of getting fired if the album wasn't a hit. He'd probably persuade the artist to write about other subjects that "ordinary people can relate to"... All this, of course, leaves the cynical and "clever" critics puzzled as well. They are shooting their own foot as they don't understand the author's humor and self irony while they are attacking against this very honest and dignified man. Great album, beautiful songs and great band. Respect.… Expand

Unfortunately there's no development in his music, but it's still nice to listen to. But I prefer the 70ies and 80ies releases.

Excellent lyrics...Tom still has something to say that matters...the music is solid, the album, one of his best.

GREAT!

Fantastic album. I've never been more baffled by many people's distaste for this one. After the awful "Echo," I was worried that Petty had lost it. Instead, he returned in top form.

Petty is making a strong and true point about the modern music industry. All modern music is either some black guy talking really fast synth beat, or a bunch of the same guitar chords. None of it requires any skill, and I have to give Petty a pat on the back for stepping up and publically recognizing that. However there were some songs that were not quite up with the others, especially in the second half of the album.… Expand

this is a true work of art. very well put together. staying true to petty style there is no selling out. keep on rocking tom!!!

I saw Tom and bought his album. He still has it. I would recommend this album to any one who still has the balls to be a rebel

this is an awesome cd - tom petty is king and all the heads of major corporations and such, know all his lyrics are the truth off this new album.

The Tom Petty that we all know and love, still sounds as great as ever, just keeps getting better everytime, he is the best and the best is yet to come.

Very Interesting album, simple lyrics yes, to the point yes, petty voice older fading? yes. Despite all this, a very refreshing album with petty playing too more piano sounds than he has before. Songs are very strong and have alot of feeling behind them. Terrific album
