Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Seems like this is the closest that Tom Petty ever came to releasing a Lost Album. For whatever reason, even as they stuck around to pick up the comparatively dull _Wildflowers_ and the aptly-named _Echo_ so many years later, not a lot of his fans picked this one up.
I'm not quite sure why this is, because as many times as I've listened to _Long After Dark_, I fail to hear what's so wrong with it. There are some wonderful melodies and powerful lyrics here. Maybe it's that the pseudo-dissonance in the verse of "You Got Lucky" (or all those synthesizers) turned a few too many people off, or that "Change of Heart" was a little too obvious. After all, it's the singles that make or break an album commercially. Still, to leave it at that is to miss wonderful songs like "A One Story Town," "Finding Out," "We Stand a Chance," "Straight Into Darkness," and "Between Two Worlds."
Oops. Looks like I just mentioned half the album there. What can I say? It deserves it.
