Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Two years after Petty’s debut, You’re Gonna Get It is another batch of sharp, swaggering rock tunes to hit the record stores recovering the path Petty strode to mega stardom.

The astonishing brilliance of a few tracks on this record seal its fate as a classic Petty album: "Listen to Her Heart" continues his tribute to the jangly guitar style of the Byrds' "I Need to Know" and nails Petty’s plaintive singing style and gut delivery (those muscular guitar lines don’t hurt either); "Magnolia" sways pleasantly like a summer afternoon with love in the air; and "Too Much Ain’t Enough" further mines the gritty sound of a garage band stretching out. "You’re Gonna Get It" and "When the Time Comes" are both above-average rockers, with signature Petty vocals that are by some turns threatening and others genteel as well as 12-string guitar chords laden with heavenly abandon. --Lorry Fleming

Format:Audio CD
This album is an absolute joy.
It's a great American rock album with beautifully constructed songs and a passionate vocal from Tom.
It runs in at a little over 1/2 an hour so it is slightly short by today's standards but the music therein is wonderful.
Before I mention the songs individually , I should say that there isn't the searing guitar overload of a live performance, in that the solos are short and not as stand-out in the mix.
Live, there was more emphasis on soloing but the songs are rock 'n' roll works of art and this is an album that you can't tire of.
Luna, a beautiful ballad, is my favourite song of the album and I would say that it is a unique song , part blues, part lullaby , with a beautiful organ melody that you'll never forget.
Uber-hit American Girl is a joy and the guitar solo at the end is a piece of magic, that wouldn't be out-of-place on a Be-Bop Deluxe track.
The Wild One Forever and Mystery Man are beautiful , gentle songs with melodies to die for.
Throw in Fooled Again, Breakdown and Strangered in the Night et.al. and you have one of the best albums ever made.
Wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing debut album 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Listen to "American Girl" or "The Wild One, Forever" and try to convince yourself this album came out at the start of the punk era. There's something other-worldly about Petty's keening voice, and Mike Campbell's frenetic guitar is right to the fore of what is a pretty stripped-down production, making the whole thing at least SOUND like a punk album at times. The chiming guitar riffs at the start of "American Girl" should be as recognizable as Jimi Hendrix's grunge lead-in to "Purple Haze", and tracks like "Breakdown" or "Anything that's Rock n Roll" are as good as anything Springsteen, Mellencamp, Seger or any other singer-songwriter type ever wrote. Petty got better and better over the next few years, and "Southern Accents" was probably his last truly great album. Here he's young, in your face, sneering, swaggering and making with some great songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 14 Feb 2008
By Spider Monkey HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the awe inspiring debut album from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and showed just how much raw talent they had, which thankfully they've been able to maintain to the present day. This album is relatively short but is perfectly formed. Songs like 'Breakdown' and 'American Girl' were destined to be instant classics and 'Fooled Again (I don't like it)' is one of my all time Petty favourites, the angst and sneering emotion in that song are just brilliant. This is an excellent place to start with Tom Petty and a superb album overall. One of those required albums for nearly all CD collections. WELL worth a buy.

Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
