Product Description

From Amazon.com

The departure of bassist Pete Farndon, and the drug-related death of lead guitarist James Honeyman Scott in 1982, left Chrissie Hynde's Pretenders in disarray, but she and drummer Martin Chambers rallied to produce the stunning 1983 single, "Back on the Chain Gang" (dedicated to Scott), and over the course of the next year, cobbled together enough material for a new album, some of whose tracks included new members: guitarist Robbie McIntosh and bassist Malcolm Foster. Nontheless, the album held together due to Hynde's uniformly strong material, which ranged from the rocking, bluesy "Middle of the Road" to the near-protest tune "My City Was Gone," to the piercing "Time the Avenger." --Billy Altman

Chronique amazon.fr

Le départ du bassiste Peter Farndon et l'overdose du guitariste James Honeyman Scott, en 1982, laissent Chrissie Hynde et ses Pretenders sur le carreau. Mais Chrissie ne se laisse pas décourager et, avec le soutien du batteur Martin Chambers, produit en 1983 un single étourdissant, "Back On The Chain Gang" (dédié à la mémoire de Scott). Au cours de la même année, ils réunissent suffisamment de titres (sur lesquels jouent de nouveaux musiciens : Robbie McIntosh à la guitare et Malcolm Foster à la basse) pour enregistrer un nouvel album. Malgré les événements, les titres de Hynde sont tous d'un très haut niveau. Avec le bluesy "Middle Of The Road", le revendicateur "My City Was Gone" ou le glacial "Time The Avenger", la richesse de ce disque est indiscutable. --Billy Altman

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, Jun 14 2004
By 
Melting_Pot (Shreveport, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning to Crawl (Audio CD)
The high points of CD are some, but there are some low points, too. The high points are: My City Was Gone(which in case your'e wondering is Rush Limbaugh's theme), Middle Of The Road, and Back On The Chain Gang. The low points are: Watching The Clothes, which is a silly song about sitting in laundromat, I Hurt You, Thumbelina, and just about every other song on the album. I gave this album a whole 3 stars because the high points are really high, in spite of the lows.

5.0 out of 5 stars RUSH's Theme Song Is On This CD!, May 14 2004

This review is from: Learning to Crawl (Audio CD)
If your looking for Rush's theme song, this is the CD you want to buy. I bought it for that tune alone and keep my CD player on repeat because it's really the best tune on it and it's been made kind of famous.
