Free Music Notes for The Last DJ
Free Music Review: Hands Down, One of Petty's Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, it's a very angry CD. His lyrics spit at the record excecutives, yet the music is fantastic to listen to. Petty knows the right mixture in stating a point and offering the best music in his catalog. This is his big "F**K YOU, I AM TOM PETTY, I CALL THE SHOTS" to the weak music industry.
Notable tracks are the TITLE TRACK, JOE, MONEY BECOMES KING, WHEN A KID GOES BAD

The Last DJ Poster
Tom Petty is angry and disgusted with the music business and modern pop culture in general. The title track here tells of "the last human voice" that still holds integrity on the airwaves. "Money Becomes King" is the story of the rise and corruption of a rock star, which becomes a metaphor for the form itself. "Joe" is about a music CEO whose creed is: "You'll get to be famous / I get to be rich." Meanwhile, "When a Kid Goes Bad" and "Lost Children" are self-explanatory titles, describing the result of all this 21st-century ennui. There are great lyrics here, hitting everything from Britney to corporate sponsorship ("All the music gave me was a craving for lite beer"), but, musically, Petty and his band aren't quite up to their old standards. You can still hear classic rock references: "Money Becomes King" nicks the opening of the Turtles' "You Showed Me"; "When a Kid Goes Bad" is a pop variation on the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." And the piano-driven "Like a Diamond"--the best track--is almost a Name That Tune fest. Elsewhere, it gets a little plodding at times, but as a document of a middle-aged rocker who's mad as hell, it's very entertaining. --Bill HoldshipThe first album in more than three years, following their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Featured tracks include 'The Last DJ', 'Have Love Will Travel' & 'Dreamville'. Also includes enhanced CD-Rom footage shot during the recording of the album. Digipak. Warner Bros. 2002.
