    The Best album Of 2016:

    Mudcrutch 2 is a fantastic album. The opening two tracks "Trailer" and "Dreams Of Flying" are two of Petty's best songs ever. The album is produced immaculately, and the arrangements are often breathtaking, like on "Beautiful Blue". This time, Petty hands the microphone to each of his fellow bandmates, the results are solid and add diversity, making Mudcrutch 2    The Best album Of 2016:

I also absolutely love the closing track "Hungry No More" which sounds like a late-60s voodoo-tinged Stones track. I can't wait to see what Tom Petty comes out with next.    … Expand

    Where Mudcrutch 1 went down easy, with a fairly uniform southern folk rock ramble, 2 mixes things up a bit with some more stylistic diversity. My one major critique: I Forgive It All stops the momentum dead (not to say it's a bad song, it's actually a great song), then the rest feels like a scramble to regain it. It's not as consistent a listen as 1, but damned if there aren't gems.

    A looser, more causal and countrified LP than a formal Heartbreakers release, these longtime friends use Mudcrutch to have some fun, jam out and exude a little bit of that old-fashioned Laurel Canyon psyche-twang sound. [No. 132, p.57]

    A far more considered affair, wistful, even half-regretful, yet redolent of breezing down the freeway from the Deep South to California with the Stones and Flying Burrito Brothers on the radio. [Aug 2016, p.114]

    Not everything hits the mark. [Aug 2016, p.98]
