For a compilation album, this is a pretty good one. The first 7 songs are great. The middle is probably the weakest part of the album with songs like "Here Comes My Girl" and "Don't Come Around Here No More". Tracks 12 through 18 are good, with the only weakness being "Something in the Air". Overall, the album displays great songwriting by Tom Petty, although the musical aspect of the CD is nothing too outstanding. The best songs are "Breakdown", "Refugee", "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance". The CD is a good listen and I only skip 2 or 3 tracks when I listen to it. Like I said, not bad for a compilation CD.
