New Tom Petty

very succint comments, shardorne. tom petty may not make my list of the ultimate greats, but I can't think of another artist who has put out as consistently high quality a product for as long a period. I believe the key to his longevity is his innate conservatism--he sticks to his basic bar-band fare and doesn't fall into the dreaded "we must expand our artisitic horizons" syndrome. the one time he dabbled in the experimental, southern accents, he got slammed critically (though i kinda like that record).
anyway, mojo's another good record, to me his best since the (hugely underrated) she's the one. damn good guitar player, btw.

Thanks Loomis- I learned something today!

Rwwear, I had high hopes for the Blu Ray.
The BD sound quality on this disc is just ok.
But, not as good as some of my SACD's, DVD-A's and some CD's.
The Tom Petty Music itself has a few keepers, but many are dogs. IMHO.

you're welcome, srwooten. for the record, i meant "succinct" (which i inexcusably misspelled, btw) in the complimentary, "compact precise" sense, as opposed to the "being girded" sense, mainly because i'm not sure what "girded" means....

Magnifico!
