Our Take

Ah, the Pretenders--the band that made us all want to throw on a leather jacket and strut down the street like we own the place. The Deluxe Edition of their self-titled debut album is a true gem, shining even brighter than Chrissie Hynde's killer vocals.

From the opening track "Precious" to the iconic hit "Brass in Pocket," this album is a masterclass in post-punk coolness. Every song is like a punch to the gut, in the best possible way. The band's chemistry is electric, with James Honeyman-Scott's guitar riffs cutting through the mix like a hot knife through butter.

The bonus tracks on this Deluxe Edition are a real treat, offering fans a deeper dive into the band's early demos and live performances. It's like opening up a time capsule and being transported back to the gritty, glittery world of late 70s London.

Hynde's songwriting is raw and honest, with lyrics that cut straight to the heart. Whether she's singing about love, loss, or just the thrill of being alive, her words hit hard and stick with you long after the music fades.

In conclusion, the Deluxe Edition of Pretenders is a must-have for any music lover. It's a timeless classic that still sounds fresh and exciting today. So grab your leather jacket, turn up the volume, and let Chrissie Hynde and co. take you on a wild ride through the streets of London. Cheers to that, mate!
