Our Take

Ah, the Pretenders. Are they pretending to be something they're not, or are they the real deal? The debate rages on. But one thing is for sure - their second album, Pretenders II, is a wild ride from start to finish.

Chrissie Hynde and her band of merry men (and women) deliver a mix of punk, pop, and rock that is as catchy as it is unpredictable. From the infectious hooks of "Talk of the Town" to the raw energy of "Message of Love," this album has it all.

But what really sets Pretenders II apart is the Deluxe Edition, which includes rare tracks, live recordings, and even a rousing cover of The Kinks' "I Go to Sleep." It's like getting a bonus bag of crisps with your pint - an unexpected but oh-so-welcome surprise.

Hynde's vocals are as powerful as ever, cutting through the mix like a knife through butter. And the band's tight instrumentation is a joy to behold, with each member bringing their own unique flair to the table.

So, whether you're a die-hard Pretenders fan or just someone looking for a good time, Pretenders II (Deluxe Edition) is sure to hit the spot. It's like a Sunday roast with all the trimmings - satisfying, hearty, and oh-so British. Cheers to that, mate.
