An album mainly full of fillers, with only the singles really standing out. Harsh, but I've been brought up on the Best of The Pretenders. Private Life is fantastic. I didn't realise the origins of this song. It gets a little more in depth with the song writing on Lovers of Today. There's a definite Pretenders sound with the bass and drums always deep in the mix. Not bad for a debut, but a little thin on the ground.

Some great songs on here - bouncy, catchy rock and roll. Wasn't a big fan at the time, but have warmed to Chrissie Hynde over the years. A great rock voice. I also didn't realise that she / they wrote Private Life. I'd only heard the Grace Jones version previously. Enjoyable.
