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.

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!

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.
