yeah that's pretty nice.

This is still a very bad album, but that's almost a good song. If he'd re-recorded it around the time of Mojo it could have had more bite, but it's OK.

I must say, listening to this album with y'all as a filter has warped my POV. I've long classified it as second-tier Petty but still in my top five. How you respond in toto depends on whether complacency = death.

"listening to this album with y'all as a filter has warped my POV."
Prolonged exposure to Unperson will do that to a person. Haha!!

i always forget about this song even though you can still hear it on the radio. i dig it. for the guitars. reminds me of "twilight zone" by golden earring.

yeah, this was an airplay single and a considerable hit: #1 on album rock radio that summer. Petty says that for a looooong time he hated this song and hated playing it. I can hear why: Lynne's production keeps it too tightly reined? The live versions are way looser. The main riff rules.

it does sound like "twilight zone," even down to the voiceovers. i like his flirtation with riff rock. an underexplored direction.

Wow, where the hell did that come from? I'd say they must have locked Lynne out of the studio for an hour, but you can still hear the chiming acoustic guitars buried in there. That song belongs on a better album.

I know I'm alone with this one, but "You and I Will Meet Again" is one of my favorite Petty songs -- it moves me! The harmonies, the verse about the red-wing hawk circling (reminds me of Robert Penn Warren), the ascending melody Tench plays on his organ in the outro...

this is really nice -- byrds feel, with an almost "meet on the ledge" depth.
