Gotcha. I dig that record but know I’m in the minority

 

definitely one of the good ones

 

definitely don’t dislike it by any means. it’s halfway to a great record. they kinda perfected that sound on clarity. just need less tom singing lol

 

I actually like Tom’s voice, especially for that style, but it’s for sure a lesser version of clarity. Seventeen’s always been one of their most underrated for me though

 

Same. I love Tom songs

 

I’m also a sucker for blatant Christie front drive ripoffs, which fits a fair portion of static prevails

 

Static Prevails definitely comes before they've fully coalesced their sound, but I think it's so much fun looking at all the different directions they could have gone. it's definitely flawed and would be low on my list, but I love listening to it

 

more Tom songs please

 

I wasn’t even born when it came out!

 

kinda wild people can hear clarity and not immediately recognize it as their best. perfect record.

 

Nope, not for me. Blister was great...but after Action, I'm fine leaving everything to jim.

 

I don't agree with Patty boy on many things, but he's right, Clarity is the GOAT. Baaaah!

 

I read this as "there's a reason they moved off Tom Petty quickly," and I was like, "Pat, what the fuck are you talking about?"

 

S A M E !

 

Zero more Tom songs, please!

 

reading is fundamental

 

correct

 

I was -2 when it came out

 

I was at that show!

 

I don’t even think Clarity is even in my top five JEW records. It’s a great album, but these guys have the world’s most perfect discography.

 

Futures is my top. Then Clarity. The rest I don’t have as solidified.

 

While we’re here: I know it’s the one they play the most off of and it has the song everyone associates them with, but I’ve revisited Bleed American quite a bit recently, and I think there’s a strong case to be made that it’s the GOAT pop rock album, period. It’s just absolutely flawless, and I’m always hesitant to say so because it seems like such a casual fan thing to say. But it’s really that good, I think.
