Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

So average, I zoned out both times I tried to listen to the album. Not awful, but Pettys little smirk on the album cover pisses me off. Significant 34/102 Liked 16/102 Added 4/102 NNN

Elvis Castillo-like. 2/10

I've already listened to this. Nothing against Tom Petty but I think I may have been over exposed growing up.

Tom Petty was the most hugely disappointing live show I have ever seen. This guy was full of himself. Listening to this record, it's clear that there is a reason anyone ever only hears the hits. At least it was short.

Second album I had to skip a song and actively disliked almost every minute.

Just bad

Geriatrically inspired…

I do not like Tom petty

A little underwhelming. Quite bluesy and dated. But American Girl is worth waiting for!

Ain’t no way I’m listening to Tom Petty

Okay, let me preface this with the fact that I will always rock out to 'American Girl'. It's a certified banger. But, unfortunately, Tom Petty is one of those vocalists that I can't enjoy. His style has never really jived with me. I'm saying that subjectively because I understand the importance of this album, but I really don't have fun with him as a frontman. He lacks energy and prescence.

There wasn't a single good song. Now don't get me wrong, they weren't atrocious, but goddamn not a single song here was worth remembering. As I finished the album I realized none had left just the slightest impression on me. Couldn't hum a single one. Couldn't remember a single lyrics. Nothing.

Didn't like any of it.

meh

This album was fun to jam to. Lots of upbeat songs with quality drums. I'm not sure, but one of the songs seemed to have racist lyrics. For that reason a low rating.

I want to give Tom Petty a swirly

Didn't listen to it

Bof... Bof... Voilà un album qui sortit en une periode troublée... 1976, les grands groupes étaient poussés dehors, le punk arrivait avec toute sa fougue mais s'il contestait et detruisait, il n'offrait pas grand chose au delà de l'energie brute... Alors certes Tom et ses Heartbreakers amenaient autre chose, de l'énergie MAIS policée à l'américaine... D'ailleurs c'est en Angleterre qu'il attira vraiment l'attention sur lui, avant de devenir important aux USA ... Aujourd'hui, cet album a bcp bcp vieilli et Tom avec ou sans ses Heartbreakers a commis d'autres albums bien plus puissants et novateurs... Sa façon de mêler l'éternelle Amérique et l'énergie rock deviendra définitivement sa marque de fabrique... Brillant backing band de Dylan, hélas pas dans sa meilleure période, il cherchera ensuite avec le super groupe constitué de lui, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison et Jeff Lynne un véritable renouveau qui rafraichira toute sa production ultérieure... Il s'adjoindra aussi les meilleurs producteurs ou les plus en vue ! Merci Tom... RIP...

I don't like this album much. Boring classic pop rock without any edges.

I found this boring.

How to sound exactly like ANY OTHER hard rock band: A handbook

Didn't really feel it.

Some decent songs, but Tom Petty’s voice is super annoying

Fun intro! Good harmonies. The first track proper feels a bit bland and pub rock. As does Hometown Blues. This is very boring so far. The Wild One, Forever is an improvement. Bruce Springsteen without the charisma. Or Meatloaf without the humour. But at least it's the first track that aims high, even if it misses. Anything That's Rock and Roll brings back the boredom. The next album in the book is the Modern Lovers. They do the same rock n roll schtick, except Jonathan Richman has a wit and joy to his songs and delivery, rather than regurgitating the same clichés over and over again. Nothing especially different until American Girl, which is a marked improvement. The lyrics are the blandest trash, but musically it is actually listenable, which is a marked improvement. Still. I like lyrics that do more than "Oh yeah. Alright. Hey baby." Possibly because I can tie my own shoelaces. A big fat 1 here. Boring music for boring people.

Czy okladka moze uprzedzic o tym co znajdzie sie na plycie, bo mam wrazenie ze w tym wypadku wlasnie tak bylo, pan Tom Petty, jak przypadkowo dobrane nazwisko, oraz ekipa lamaczy serc splodzila album ktory brzmi jak wzorzec popowego rockowania, chociaz jak na lata 76 to troche pozno na takie odkrycia, bo popowa muzyke zaczynaja przejmowac synthowe brzmienia, ktorych tutaj nie jest jeszcze az tyle, bardziej klasyczny rok vibe, ale jednak wystarczajaco popowy bez zadnych ekstrawaganckich solowek czy liryki mogacej zawierac w sobie cos wiecej niz pierdolenie o szopenie, od poczatku do konca sluchajacy jest prowadzony po komulaly kultury rokowej, wiec songowanie o kobietach dla kobiet od poteznej persony pana Pettiego, ktorego mozna podziwiac na okladce i na pierwszy rzut oka widac, ze to prawdziwy zlodupiec, ktory nie jedno niewiescie serce polamal takim materialem, ktory jest jego debiutanckim albumem, wiec nazwa odwazna, za ktora nie kryje sie nic ciekawego, sposrod czterech heartbreakerow wyrozniaja sie Mike Campbell gitarka ktora mozna uslyszec u pana dylana na kilku albumach i Stan Lynch drumujacy bedacy studyjnym grajkiem z dosc pokazna dyskografia, ale na tym albumie dopiero zaczyna przygode z drumami co takze slychac, wiec zarowno muzycznie jak i lirycznie niczego nadzwyczajnego nie da sie doszukac na krazku, na plejke dodam kawalek bedacy najwiekszym hitem bandy, ktory zamyka caly album, to jest american girl, ktorego mozna kojarzyc z milczenia owiec

The worst of Tom Petty

Half a star for American Girl, half a star for the hot woman on the cover

Not my stuff baby.

Don't like the rock-country style

No
