Album Notes & Community Reviews

With Chrissie Hynde effectively operating as the sole original member, she recruited a vast array of session musicians and producers to realize this polished pop-rock album. Featuring the massive hit 'Don't Get Me Wrong', the record heavily integrates synthesizers and funk-inflected grooves, straying significantly from the raw, guitar-driven energy of their early classics.
