While no new Pretenders album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1983 tour in Africa. On Learning To Crawl album, Pretenders have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Pretenders had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. I Hurt You make listening to Pretenders like being in some sort of time warp. Middle Of The Road is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. My City Was Gone is possibly the best song Pretenders has come up. Show Me - My least favorite song on this album. Thin Line Between Love And Hate which is my favorite is a truly Pretenders sounding song. Thumbelina - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Pretenders. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Learning To Crawl.
