    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.

    Petty's thesis is strong, but his argument falters too often.

    Taken all together these songs pack a powerful punch and make for a much better record than we might have expected. [Dec 2002, p.108]

    When it's good, it's really good.
