Our Take

The self-titled debut album from Chrissie Hynde's crew, Pretenders, is an absolute banger! From the opening track "Precious" to the closing notes of "Mystery Achievement", this album is a rollercoaster of punk-infused energy and undeniable talent.

Hynde's vocals are a force to be reckoned with, with her signature rasp and attitude shining through on every track. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with James Honeyman-Scott's guitar work in particular standing out as a highlight.

The album is a perfect blend of rock and pop sensibilities, with catchy hooks and memorable riffs that will have you singing along in no time. Tracks like "Brass in Pocket" and "Stop Your Sobbing" are instant classics, while deeper cuts like "The Wait" and "Tattooed Love Boys" showcase the band's versatility and range.

But what really sets Pretenders apart is their ability to inject emotion and vulnerability into their music, even in the midst of all that punk bravado. Tracks like "Lovers of Today" and "Private Life" show a softer side to the band, proving that they are more than just a one-dimensional punk outfit.

Overall, Pretenders' debut album is a must-listen for any music lover. It's a timeless classic that still holds up decades later, and it's no wonder why this band has become legends in the industry. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't regret it.
