Ah, Tom Petty and the heartbreakersr. The song makes me think of the Kurt Vonnegut short story "Harrison Bergeron", which presents a world where absolutely social equality is enforced by crippling those with special abilities so they are at the same level as the lowest common denominator. It's essentially a clever retelling of the "tall poppy syndrome", where people want to cut people with more money, talent, better looks, or whatever, down to size. I'm not sure if at the end the maples have arranged to have the oaks literally cut down to size, or if the maples' agitations have led to the whole forest being clear cut, but either way it's a clever jibe at those who nurse resentments and want to bring down those above them in some way.

It's not hard to see why this was Petty & the Heartbreakers breakthrough album, as it's the most musically consistent of the band's first three outings. Here we finally are subjected to the fully worked out sound of the Heartbreakers, something that would only progress with future releases, but never lose its trademark. With a few major highlights like Refugee and Don't Do Me Like That, there is far less filler here than on previous works, which is definitely a good thing. Still not their best record though, despite its rating here.
