"Damn The Torpedoes" came out in 1979 and surely could be the least pretentious album in rock history. There is no ridiculous excess; there is no artsy minimalism. It´s only purpose is to be a solid, funny rock n’ roll album, and because of that, it succeeds marvellously. It was Petty’s third album, and the one that brought true recognition to him and his Heartbreakers.
Getting to the music, now, the disc is invariably good and one of the best. It caught Tom and the boys at the highest peak of their explicit days as rockers, whereas the album closer “Louisiana Rain” evidenced a desire to innovate and move out of the constraints of the genre, even if only a little.
