"I knew I wanted to do a rock'n'roll record. We hadn't made a straight hard-rockin' record, from beginning to end, in a long time," Tom Petty said earlier this year. Thus the jangly guitars, Stooges powerchords and uptight harmonies of the 13th Heartbreakers album, which echoes the sound of their 1976 debut. Things have changed, though. Petty is 63 – "a full-grown boy", he sings, wryly – more crotchety adult than angry young man, but has conjured up plenty of angst, railing against Catholic church child abuse, the American dream and, well, whatever you've got. It's not political – "I ain't on the left/ I ain't on the right/ I ain't even sure I've got a dog in this fight", he sneers – but the air of furious disaffection will strike a universal chord. The songwriting is solid, the musicianship familiarly old-school, and while Hypnotic Eye lacks the killer standout tracks he turned out by the truckload in his youth, it packs enough vim and energy to suggest the fire is far from out.
