“It wasn’t that I didn’t like it,” he defined in 2005’s Conversations With Tom Petty. “I just had this feeling that we were treading water. I would say it’s a good record, and when I hear it now, it’s much better than I thought it was. But the only complaint I had with Long After Dark was that I’m not sure that we’re really moving forward here. It’s a good little rock and roll record with good songs and good playing. But I don’t know that we advanced a lot on that record.”
In associated occasions, the Wallflowers will carry out the whole lot of Long After Dark at one among their very own live shows in Los Angeles on Oct. 2.
