Tom Petty and Heartbreakers album Mojo was released today and read this review before buying.

If you liked Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers last albums - don't buy it.

If you hate blues - don't buy it.

If you loved the single "I Should Have Known It" - don't buy it.

If you hate the Allman Brothers - don't buy it.

The only people who should buy this record are people who like slow bluesy numbers done in a folky voice with extended jams in the middle. 95% of the songs are forgettable. I spent most of the album skipping to the next song, which is a real shame because I love bluesy guitar work and loved the single I Should Have Known It. I thought the single had excellent potential and wanted the rest of Mojo to sound like that.

The only other tolerable song on this album, besides I Should Have Known It, is entitled Candy. Candy has an excellent groove that anyone can click into and enjoy.

The rest of this album sounds like an Allman Brothers slow jam. Most of the songs on this album are like your in-laws. They come over your house, shit stain your toilets, stay too fucking long, and keep asking why you haven't had kids yet. In other words, these songs are severely irritating, longer than they should be, and leave a terrible after taste.

Hardcore fans of Tom Petty might hail this album as a great album, but they are lying to themselves. This album is the almost the antithesis of an old Tom Petty album. If you saw the Tom Petty and Friends tour back in 2006 with the Allman Brothers....this is the recorded version of that concert.

The only songs I recommend on this album are I Should Have Known It and Candy. The rest should be flushed like the ooze that turned the Teenage Turtles into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
