I confess that I never saw the movie.
I can't even remember the movie, and I couldn't tell you a thing about
it. It really doesn't matter, because even though this is a
"soundtrack", there's no real "theme" or "story" here. At least any
that I can tell. Soundtracks can be a peculiar duck. Usually they
feature multiple artists, or if one artist is highlighted, they're used
sparingly intertwined with a bunch of instrumental pieces. This really
isn't the case. This is, fortunately, Tom Petty from front to back.
Unlike most of his "regular" releases, though, this one seems a bit of a
throwaway. Sort of an "Odds and Sods" album. There are multiple
versions of a couple of songs, a couple of covers, and several songs
that clock in at under two minutes in length. So the record is a bit
haphazard and it's a bit difficult to really get into - as if you can't
describe this album in any particular style - or state a particular
direction that he was trying to go. No, it's just a bunch of normal
tunes, some work, some don't.
The two best known songs are actually featured on this album twice - the
leadoff song Walls and the very touching Angel Dream.
There are a couple of good revenge oriented breakup songs as well in
Hope You Never and Change the Locks, the former being a
Lucinda Williams cover that sounds as though Petty could have written
the tune himself.
Most of the rest of the record falls into the so-so category, with
nothing to memorable or distinguishable, but it is Tom Petty, and if
this was a spontaneous, throwaway sort of record, it certainly
works better than most albums of such distinction.
