Free Music Review: Petty's Ambition
Hit: 4 Stars
The run-of-the-mill Long After Dark was the first album from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers to garner a less than stellar reception. The frustration Petty felt became evident in the tales that emerged during the recording of "Southern Accents," including a broken hand incurred when Petty punched a wall in frustration. The desire to create something outside the box was evident when the first single appeared. "Don't Come Around Here No More" twanged out with psychedelic sitars and a wild "Alice in Wonderland" video, and was unlike any Petty song before it.
Dave Stewart was feeling his oats outside Eurythmics and it was his eclectic production spiced up "It Ain't Nothin' To Me" and "Make It Better," yet he was just one of three outside producers, including Robbie Robertson and long-time associate Jimmy Iovine. Petty and Mike Campbell also indulged in self-production on three numbers. It does make for some odd juxtapositions, like "Spike" veering close to Randy Newman territory and the soul-inflected "Make It Better." If you're looking for that traditional Petty sound, both the title track and "Mary's New Car" land on target.
This was also Petty's slickest album. It was given some criticism for that at the time, but the album's best songs ("Mary's...," "The Best Of Everything," "Don't Come...") still make this worth having. It's really a three and 1/2 star effort; INHO, the oft slagged "Long After Dark" and "Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) have aged better.
