Average Rating:
 Rating: - Some great songs but..... ...something dreadful has been done to the audio. Load any track from this album into a wave editor to see exactly what I am referring to. An obscene abuse of the dynamic range of CD. Record companies should be ashamed of mutilating music like this. Rating: - When It's Good It's Very Good...Tom Petty first dragged his Heartbreakers into public view in England in 1977 where he managed to get away with passing off his traditional folk blues country inspired rock under the new wave banner by similarities with acts such as Nick Lowe and Graham Parker and a passing resemblance to some of the other last remnants of the pub rock trend. His debut album `Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' soon became a cult classic mainly due to the classic `American Girl'. Second album `You're Gonna Get It' treed water until third album `Damn the Torpedoes broke into the mainstream with the wonderful single `Even the Losers'. The Heartbreakers career then followed a fairly static path in England until Tom made pay dirt by recording `Full Moon ...

What makes much more sense is to buy the original albums. There's such a weight of really good material on the originals that the compilation just doesn't make sense. Start with "Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers" and progress through "You're gonna get it" "Damn the torpedoes" and "Hard Promises". Don't forget "Full moon fever" and "Into the great wide open". The only worthy TP compilation would be a full box set of the albums, the originals are really that good. Rating:  - Nothing new here but still a fantastic janglefestOK, so this is virtually identical to the 1993 Greatest Hits release, the only difference being that 'Something In The Air' is replaced by 'Stop Draggin' My Heart Around'. The tracks relate to the years 1976-1991 and contain some truly superb, radio friendly, instantly memorable tunes full of jangly guitars and hummable melodies. These are from times when music was played with instruments rather than keyed into a computer. It shows. The songs are a pure joy to hear. Uplifting to say the least. So, why would you buy this instead of the other Greatest Hits? A good enough reason for me (but probably not for most people) is that it's been remastered. The original sounded pretty good but this one is punchier and fuller sounding. Probably not ... Read More: |
