What the Critics Say
Riding high on the back-to-back Top Five platinum hits Damn the Torpedoes and Hard Promises, Tom Petty quickly returned to the studio to record the Heartbreakers' fifth album, Long After Dark. Truth be told, there was about as long a gap between Dark and Promises as there was between Promises and Torpedoes. There are a few new wave flourishes here and there, but the band hasn't really changed its style at all -- it's still Stonesy, Byrdsian heartland rock. As their first four albums illustrated, that isn't a problem in itself, since they've found numerous variations within their signature sound. With its swirling, minor key guitars, "You Got Lucky" is a classic and "Change of Heart" comes close to matching the peaks of Promises and Torpedoes. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

this is a great tom petty album shocasing he great song writng abilty and stong proformance. Ths classic spawned probably one of the best music videos ever made for "you got luck". The video starts off with a spooky 4 notes from the song and he is in a mars type dessert enviroment and arives in a futureistic car comes across garage filled with slot machines and video games and such. Very creative and memorable. I allways loved this particular record and still play it ofton. Wm Crowther Blue note Starshine
