  The Last DJ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Last DJ is an album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, first released in 2002 (see 2002 in music).
"The Last DJ", "Money Becomes King", "Joe", and "Can't Stop the Sun" are all sharp attacks on the greediness of the music industry, and Petty admits that "Joe" is the angriest song he has ever written.
The album reached #9 on The Billboard 200 aided by the single "The Last DJ" which hit #22 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks in 2002.

 The Music Box: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - The Last DJ
But The Last DJ is his most overtly conceptual outing — a two-act rock opera, if you will, that harkens back to the day when albums were works of art, not batches of mass-produced, mass-marketed songs with no discernable connection to one another.
That said, The Last DJ is a far cry from a non-stop, venomous outburst.
That The Last DJ is filled with music so sweet and pure — and includes some of the sunniest pop songs he’s ever created — makes the bitter truth about the industry at large all the easier to digest.

 Tom Petty - The Last DJ
Corporate greed is the target of much of Petty's recent album THE LAST DJ, and he opened with the ironically radio-friendly title cut that lambastes mediocrity on the commercial airwaves.
Petty's current album, THE LAST DJ, is built around a bitter theme in which he attacks both modern radio and the recording establishment for allowing greed and corporate packaging to pollute the creative waters.
Unlike his hit-heavy, crowd-pleasing Bowl gig last year, Petty had an agenda this time: to promote his new concept album THE LAST DJ, a scathing attack on what he sees as an increasingly corrupt rock culture characterized by impersonal radio playlists, money-grubbing record producers and sell-out musicians.

 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: The Last DJ - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Last DJ is a more nuanced album, as likely to blister with a signature Mike Campbell solo as to dwell patiently in Petty's own orchestrations.
To an extent, that much is true; The Last DJ -- especially the four-song suite that opens the album -- is the war cry of an old general who refuses to surrender the battle.
The Last DJ is earnest and straightforward, as rock and roll should be.

 InternetEd Reviews: Tom Petty- The Last DJ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Although nothing Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers have done in recent years can compare to their classic material (such as the music on Damn The Torpedoes) The Last DJ still manages to sound pretty enjoyable.
Kicking things off is the anti-corporate-rock title track “The Last DJ,” which features Tom Petty’s typically rough, Bob Dylan-esque nasal vocals over a jingly musical background.
Overall, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers’ The Last DJ is a good record with fairly catchy music and occasional hints of the band’s classic 1970’s sound.

Many of the songs on the Last DJ relate to the corporate take-over of the music business both in radio and the recording industry.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Tom Petty Album Review: THE LAST DJ
The Last DJ, the 14th album of Petty's 26-year recording career, captures the shaggy heartland rocker at his most curmudgeonly, frustrated and disillusioned -- and at his most vital and outspoken.
But while Petty spends much of The Last DJ talking the talk, his strident gripes don't totally consume the album.
Truly, though, most of The Last DJ's power comes from Petty's seething anger and resentment.

 Critical Soundbites: "The Last DJ"
But PETTY is still evolving as a writer, and THE LAST DJ contains his most interesting and confident material in a decade.
As ever, there are small-time characters with big-time regrets, but whereas previous PETTY protagonists had no one to blame but themselves, many of these losers are paralyzed by the grip of corporate culture.
‘The Last DJ’ is just the catchiest little thing you could imagine, while ‘Money Becomes King’ has big waves of heroic-sounding strings.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - The Last DJ [ECD] *
Money and its corrupting effects on rock music are the subject matter on much of THE LAST DJ, the umpteenth Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album since the band's eponymous 1976 debut.
On hearing this, a listener might reasonably wonder if Tom Petty has spent the last 30 years under a proverbial rock, but being a Tom Petty album, of course, tunes and songcraft are beyond reproach and much may be forgiven.

"The Last DJ" has great songs, lyrics are depressive, ok, but the present musical scene give us no reason to laugh, music has no more artistic value at all, 'cause money has become king'...
Comment: THE LAST DJ only gets 2 stars because the lyrics are so depressing.
It turns out that Petty is releasing a new album at the end of this year or the beginning of next, so let's hope it's less cynical and more hopeful than this one.
