Wow. This one is even better. TP and the rest of Mudcrutch ( 2 members from the heartbreakers are part of this band) have made an album that is so good, I have listened to it several times in a row. I don't do that often. Even with other albums I really enjoy.This record is full of all kinds of emotions. Humor, forgiveness, youthful pride and many other subjects. Great songwriting all the way around.Of course, the playing and singing are both great. The production is pristine in an era of recordings often sounding dull.And yes, I think this is better than the first Mudcruth album. It was a good one too though so I recommend you pick them both up if you haven't already!

There's not much I can add to the many other glowing reviews for this album, except to say that I'm VERY impressed. I've been a Tom Petty fan since the very first album, and even though this is not a proper Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers album, or even a Petty solo effort, I'd rank this among the best things he's ever done. Really, this is that strong an impressive a batch of songs.The first Mudcrutch album was very good, but I think this one is even stronger. As another reviewer noted, there is indeed a Travelling Wilbury-esque vibe to many of these songs. Petty and his band sound looser, more confident, and more assured. It truly sounds like they are having lots of fun and that sense of joy permeates every one of these songs. Getting better with age? I'll drink to that!

Being a huge Tom Petty fan and knowing them when they were Mudcrutch, I had to have this one to add to my collection. I had the first Mudcrutch album and I thought it was great so when this one came out, I had to have it. I will admit, I like the first one better but this one is a winner too. I have a vast collection of his music. I have also read 3 books about him. All were great and gave you a very good insight into him and his music and how Mudcrutch got started.

If you love the Heartbreakers then your gonna love this album. Tom and the boys later perform but never recorded some of these gems , but you'll recognize them and rock to them as if you were listening to The Heartbreakers. If you just like Tom Petty, buy this Album , you won't regret it , it's that great and a must for anyone who thinks they have a serious music collection.

Tom Petty & Co. are back after eight years with their second outing, "2". I liked it better than the first, and it's refreshing to have all members contribute vocally and lyrically. It makes for a reasonably diverse listening experience."Trailer", "Dreams Of Flying", "Beautiful World", "I Forgive It All", "The Other Side Of The Mountain", "Welcome To Hell" and "Victim Of Circumstance" are all standouts.Somebody needs to reel Tom in on the six minute numbers "Beautiful Blue" and "Hungry No More". They were overlong, and let's face it, not that great. The other Petty tracks that felt like filler were "Hope" and "Save Your Water".Essentially, I liked this Mudcrutch album better than the last Heartbreakers album, so what does that tell you? Perhaps Petty should keep on with Mudcrutch instead?Here's how "2" compares with Petty's other works:1976 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Five Stars1978 You're Gonna Get It: Four Stars1979 Damn The Torpedoes: Five Stars1981 Hard Promises: Four Stars1982 Long After Dark: Four Stars1985 Southern Accents: Five Stars1987 Let Me Up (I've Had Enough): Four Stars1989 Full Moon Fever: Four Stars1991 Into The Great Wide Open: Four Stars1994 Wildflowers: Five Stars1996 She's The One: Two and a Half Stars1999 Echo: Four Stars2002 The Last DJ: Three and a Half Stars2006 Highway Companion: Four Stars2008 Mudcrutch: Three and a Half Stars2010 Mojo: Three and a Half Stars2014 Hypnotic Eye: Three and a Half Stars2016 Mudcrutch 2: Four Stars

If you are a Tom Petty fan, you will like this. I really haven't listened to it too many times, so it must not be one of those I have to listen to that again.

Not much to say. Tom said it all. The last track is a most appropriate ending of the wonderful era of his artistry.

LP is great, Amazon package terrible. Arrived in a plastic bag, gatefold cover significantly bent on every corner. I couldn't believe it, returned.

The latest offering from Tom Petty and his old friends from Mudcrutch. Eleven tracks of pure Petty. A proper rocky country swing from the master. Tom plays bass on this one with other duties being taken up by Benmont Tench on Piano, Tom Leadon on Guitar, Mike Campbell on Guitar and Randall Marsh on the drums. All seem to share the vocals at somepoint. There's not a poor track on the CD and my personal favourite is Dreams Of Flying. Well at least for the moment it is. I love it and if you like Tom Petty you will too.

I’d give it more stars if I could. If you like Tom Petty, you’ll love this album. I cannot stress how good it is.

Excellent! Tom Petty say no more.

The first mudcrutch album was brilliant but this ones even better

Excellent album and a great addition for any Tom Petty fan. His lyrics remind me of some of his earlier albums, RIP TP.
