Negative Positive
Title: Treading water at best
Review: I listened to this album and I don't understand how people can say this stands with Tom Petty's best work. Same chord progressions, middling to plodding tempos - the whole thing sounds tired and vacnt of any new ideas musically and lyrically. I am a fan of Tom Petty, have seen him live, and was really diappointed in this album. I expected more - maybe a little fire to go with these new insights. No song is really bad nor is any song really good. There's a sameness to each song which causes the whole album to seem boring. I hope this album does not serve as his swan song.
Is the review positive or negative?
