So this is Tom Petty. For a long time, this guy has been around. Now he's making another record. He really rips off a lot of people. The Strokes, he ripped them off for his song 'American Girl'. Also, the Red Hot Chili Peppers song he ripped off when he wrote 'Mary Jane's Last Dance'. He just not an originator I suppose. Still his hits are always a pleasure to my ear.
Now this record: you may recall sometime ago I tried to watch 'Phish 3D'. Some of this record reminds me of this type of band. The second song starts with a very nice guitar riff. Then it goes off into 'Free Burrito'-ville. You can almost picture the light show. I think Jerry Garcia himself may have taken the solo. Even this very talented guitarist I think now has dreadlocks, so you can see where this is going. The next song is called 'Running Man's Bible'. Now first of all, I did not know the AOL logo guy was religious. Having said that, the music sounds like something you might hear on a radio station in America that asks for money all the time. I'm getting a little sleepy I think.
Now I get to 'Candy' this song sounds like the riff from 'Sesame Street'. Can you tell me how to get... how to get to the next record I'm going to review?
'I Should Have Known It'. Now this is a rocking song. It's a bit angry. He sounds a little tougher. It's a big band sound. Still, it's a little lame I think. It sounds like... well it sounds like he's gotten old I guess. Not that this is a bad thing. But I think I'll listen to his older stuff maybe instead of this 'Mojo'. In fact maybe it's badly named I think. Or perhaps in calling it 'Mojo' he was asking for it to come back maybe.
'Taking my time... I'm slowing down a little bit' he sings.
Yes.
