New Tom Petty

Audiofiel,

This, "MOJO" represents a unexplored direction for this band.

In my opinion, they "Nailed" it!

This is more of a blues experiment, and to say that it is in anyway a failure, is to completely. "miss the point".

TP Rocks!!!!

My dear coleslaw
Actually it's you who missed the point.
I like the material.
The recording is average.
Let's brush up on those reading comprehension skills.

At least TP did not issue a hip hop album. I would be the ONLY person on Gon thinking that was great.

Audiofeil: I believe that while it isn't superb, Mojo is definitely an above average to excellent recording/vinyl mastering--at least by today's standards. Go back thirty years or more, and lots of albums sounded as good or better. Are you saying that Mojo is merely an average recording compared to other recently released mainstream rock records from the past few years?

I'm saying that based on 50+ years of collecting vinyl which has reached almost 7,000 pieces (rock, classical, blues, folk, motown, country, and most other genres except rap), it is an average recording.

Today's standards/expectations have been lowered and the manufacturers are meeting them to the demise of long time vinyl aficionados.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
