内容紹介
Neatly fitting in between 1993's GREATEST HITS and the 5-CD PLAYBACK box set that came out two years later, this 34-track collection is a chronological tour of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' MCA Records material. The consistent quality found throughout this two-CD set that's bookended by the sinister-sounding "Breakdown" and chiming "Surrender"(a song Petty wrote in the '70s but didn't get around to recording until August 2000) boggles the mind. Tight playing and a palpable sense of passion from the four-piece Heartbreakers transform songs like "Even the Losers", "Rebels" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" into rock & roll manna. Elsewhere, this Floridian singer-songwriter's sharp eye for pop culture ("Jammin' Me") and storytelling mastery ("Into the Great Wide Open," "Two Gunslingers") become pleasantly recurring characteristics. The inclusion of a scorching live version of the Byrds' "So You Wanna Be a Rock 'N' Roll Star" show Petty and company to be as potent on stage as in the studio. By the end of this musical tour it's hard to argue with the lofty statement Cameron Crowe makes in his liner notes calling Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "...the greatest and most consistent American band of the last twenty-five years..."

トム・ペティ＆ザ・ハートブレイカーズの概要をたどるアルバム。この2枚組のもっともすごいところは、このアーティストたちが、彼らの時代だけでなくどの時代にも通用するバンドであることを、パワフルに教えていることだ。10点満点の7点を決して割らないレコードを、四半世紀に渡って作りつづけるなんて芸当が可能なロッカーが、他にいるか考えてみてほしい。初期のディスク1が後期のディスク2よりもアグレッシッブであることは確かだが、両者が反対の内容だったとしても、別におかしくはない。成熟がペティと仲間に倦怠をもたらすのは、まだまだ先のことだろう。18曲入りの『Greatest Hits』と6枚組の『Playback』ボックスセットの間をしっかり埋めるこの『Anthology』は、ほとんどがFMの定番となった34曲を収録している。1976年の「Breakdown」から、アルバム唯一の新曲「Surrender」まで、このレトロスペクティブの勢いは衰えない。衰えるなんてこと自体が、不可能なのだが。（Steven Stolder, .com）
