Yes, this is the digipak edition with six bonus tracks! Different from the first three albums in that a new rhythm section that is R&B based was brought in for this album, and the producer tandem of Jimmy Iovine & Bob Clearmountain gives it a big sound treatment, so they sound even louder and more raucous!!! Also, Funkadelic keyboard master Bernie Worrell is on hand for this powerhouse of an album. Even Bowie guitarist Carlos Alomar and two others contribute a song, Light Of The Moon. But the most ambitious track of the original eleven songs is a cover of the Hendrix tune Room Full Of Mirrors, which was recorded before the rhythm section change and produced by Steve Lillywhite. The bonus tracks also rock, with two live tracks, Don't Get Me Wrong and Thumbelina. This band continues to rock!!!Read full review
This is, I guess, a generic Pretenders CD review. I won't go into any pretentious detailed analysis of the songs. I think it's sufficient to say that this band rocks hard, they are fresh and brash and loud. Chrissie Hynde's voice is like no other. This is not girl-band rock, just rock of the very highest order, and all my Pretenders CDs stay warm and dust-free. Try one today, clean out the cobwebs!
A good CD plenty of hard rocking & sweet singing. Maybe not the best. Personally I like the more rockin' Pretenders, there's a bit much of sweet singing for me but it's a personal taste, you know. But you can't go wrong with Chrissie and The Pretenders.
