Really liking this.
It sounds a lot like Petty to me and isn't as cluttered in the production as American Slang. I think they overdid that one trying too hard to go for an anthemic stadium sound.
I wouldn't say it's an angry sounding album but it's definitely a lot more introspective than their other stuff which is nice.
They've definitely delved into the back catalogue. Some of it sounds like bits of older songs with different lyrics but there's nothing wrong with that when you're progressions and melodies are so good if you ask me.
