JANGLING BEAUTY,
By
This review is from: You're Gonna Get It (Audio CD)
This album is worth its price for the opening track When The Time Comes alone - a flaming beauty of a song with a deeply emotional resonance and poetic lyrics that must count as one of the greatest rock songs ever written. It is truly Springsteenesque in its jangling guitar-driven onslaught. Other great songs include the title track and the tender I Need To Know while the intense Listen To Her Heart is equally catchy and memorable. The rest of the songs are good, solid rockers but none of them reaches the awesome grandeur or impressive melodiousness of these four classic rockers. I would strongly recommend getting this album as the above-mentioned opening track is not included on any Tom Petty compilation album as far as I know. If you like late 1970s power rock and pop like The Cars, Pat Benatar, Mink de Ville and Blondie, you'll love this great album.

Overlooked and underrated,
By A Customer
This review is from: You're Gonna Get It! (Audio CD)
Listening to this CD for the first time in years, it sounds MUCH better than its classic predecessor. Released only two years later, it doesn't sound nearly as dated as the debut. There isn't a bad song, and nine of ten are really good. You won't find an anthem like American Girl or Refugee, just great straight-ahead rock. For my money, this album has aged better than the more-popular debut, and as others have noted here, the characteristic sound of the next few albums begins to emerge on this one. It's pure listening pleasure from start to finish - every song 3 minutes of good hooks and harmonies and lyrics about the one thing in life that always used to matter most - women. Songs like Hurt and No Second Thoughts are just as good as the more-familiar I Need to Know and Listen to Her Heart.I originally bought this album for the sake of completeness, having only heard "I Need to Know", and was shocked it turned out to be of such high quality. I can't say why these songs weren't played more on the radio or by TP et al. in concert, but I have to admit there is a forgettable quality to them. I didn't remember any except the radio hits, and I remember every song on other Tom Petty albums I'd consider much less well done. Maybe this is rock junk food - delicious guilty little pleasures you forget a half hour later. But what a great half hour! Like the first reviewer here, I wouldn't recommend this as a starting point for anyone, but I think it's a must-have for those who love Damn the Torpedoes or the early TP/Heartbreakers sound in general. One star off for not being up there with Damn the Torpedoes or Hard Promises, not for anything actually wrong with the CD - it really doesn't have a bad moment.

No weak points,
By scott r dall (Saugus, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: You're Gonna Get It! (Audio CD)
Top to bottom this is my choice for the most complete album collection of Tom Petty's. Not a weak track on the whole thing! You get straight forward Rock & Roll with "when the time comes", the signature "jangle" of Petty and lead man Mike Cambell on "Too much ain't enough"....just can't say enough about this album, this is the one that hooked me on Petty over 25 years ago, been a loyal fan since. I have heard & seen all that he has done....Buy this one!!
