Hypnotic Eye is the thirteenth and final studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on July 29, 2014, by Reprise Records.[11][12] The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the only Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album ever to top the chart. Hypnotic Eye was nominated for the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. It would turn out to be the band's last studio album released prior to Petty's death on October 2, 2017.

Production

The first sessions for the album occurred in August 2011 at the band's Los Angeles-based rehearsal space, the "Clubhouse," where the song "Burnt Out Town" was recorded. The album marks a stylistic return to the band's first two albums, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1976) and You're Gonna Get It! (1978).[11]

Promotion

On June 10, 2014, the song "American Dream Plan B" was released as the lead single from the album, along with two additional tracks, "Red River" and "U Get Me High," from the band's website and digital stores.[13] A month later, a CD single with "American Dream Plan B" and "U Get Me High" and a coupon for $2 off the price of the album were released.[14]

The tracks "Forgotten Man" and "Fault Lines" were released for streaming by the band's website in early July 2014.[15] Additionally, all five tracks released in promotion of Hypnotic Eye were released on an "interactive radio" with a tuning dial that finds the tracks for listeners.[16]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 131,000 copies in the United States.[17]
