The “Oh-oh’s” in the background come right out of Klystron of the 1980’s. Of course, the Pretenders owned the 80’s. I thought about it, and have to agree if 1980’s retro is performed by a 1980’s band, then why the heck not? “By the way, you look fantastic in your boots of Chinese Plastic.” The Pretenders make no offer to change the world this evening, but they still sound great. Shoutouts for the slower tune, Nothing Maker; the mid-tempo album 50’s flavored title tune Break The Concrete (“don’t tell me it’s progress cause that was just a lie.”). Nostalgia builder.
