This is probably my all time favorite album by Tom Petty. There are many songs from this album that are on the greatest hits cd's as well. I highly reccomend this album.

Excellent Service in every detail, from veiwing product to receiving it.
The service is better than what you get in person and in the store.

I love this album because it truly exemplifies what Tom Petty is all about. He can be fast paced and then take a slower turn. His voice, the music, and everything else about this album is truly perfect. This is one of his many great albums.

I had recently watched a 3 hour Tom Petty documentary and afterwards reviewed my Tom Petty collection. Upon investigation, it became apparent that I was missing a crucial album; Into The great Wide Open. I still have it on cassette, but c'mon... Since it's arrival, it has barely left the CD player! It's the perfect compliment to Full Moon Fever and resonates alot of the same qualities from that era that also included The Traveling Wilbury's.

I love Tom Petty, he is a great musican. I didn't have this CD before so i decided to buy it and it was in excellent condition.

The thing about this music is you like it right off, but then it continues to grow in interest as well. Very simple arrangements, and like most good rock, a sense of humor plus the usual outsider wisdom. The licks are all right here and honest, not some overblown electronic production. Just basically good, honest rock and roll, no frills, gets down and you can dance to it. Finally, the inevitable mystery of Tom Petty.

A great tom petty cd that has a lot of great songs. I like everything about this cd! I like the order of the songs, and the feeling you get when listening to great music.

Learning To Fly is one of my favorite Petty tunes and it's a perfect song to start out a perfect album. I've mentioned in other reviews that I'm a lyrics person and what I love best about the lyrics on this album is how human they are. I can't really explain it in any more detail than that. If you listen to the album with humanness in mind you will see what I'm saying. Of course this CD is so much more than just great lyrics. Tom Petty rocks. 5 Stars.
