  A darker hue creeps into Petty’s usually sunlit sound. The guitars chime, but there’s a sense of distance and longing underneath. As usual, Petty's hooks arrive effortlessly, but they carry a quiet melancholy. It’s rock that lingers after the lights go out. Full of unforgettable songs, but "Deliver Me" and "Straight Into Darkness" are among Petty's greatest to not appear on his Greatest Hits.
