I Friday June 22 1990 r 3D Ill Weekend Pretenders ‘Packed’ and rating to go on new album naMBHBBHI 1 Throughout their history the most consistent thing about the Pretenders has been the inconsistency of their lineups After the death of original members Pete Farndon and James Honeyman-Sco- tt and the departure of Martin Chambers the band was in limbo The “Get Close” album featured a completely different set of players than the album that preceded it “Learning To Crawl” Completely different that is except for Chrissie Hynde the group’s founder and only remaining original member It now seems that the Pretenders are pretty much Hynde and a random group of musicians “Packed” the group’s fifth album' once again sports all new members except for drummer Blair Cunningham a holdover from the “Get Close” five-albu- 10-ye- ar m earthy vocal style of the band’s one constant Chrissie Hynde who puts enough distance between albums that she’s always welcomed back when you hear her On Record Rick Marsh Mtfccobmnst again 'Packed’ Pretenders “Let’s Make a Pact is just another of saying Let’s get hitched married espoused or wedded Hynde also employs another play on words with the clever twist: “Altar me The change could only do me good” as producer Mitchell Froom’s swirling keyboards mate with Bremner and Hynde’s cascading guitars “Millionaires” begins with Blair Cunningham’s galloping drums which help move along humorous lyrics like: “When they pass us in their cars they look at us like we’re from Mars Those distant eyes look sympathetic We slash their tires ’cause we’re pathetic and we way sessions This incarnation of the band carries on the Pretender tradition however as “Packed" is all a rock n roll aficionado could ask for If you notice a definite resemblance between the guitar line of the album’s lead track “Never Do Tha" and the Pretenders’ classic “Back on the Chain Gang” it’s because Billy Bremner played his style on both of them Of course the thread that holds any Pretenders’ lineup together is the jangle-and-stru-m get paid for the repairs by the millionaires!” And if you think you’ve heard all of Hynde’s vocal tricks wait till you hear the chorus Jimi Hendrix is remembered as a fiery guitarist but he never garnered the praise he deserved for his songwriting Here the group performs one of his loveliest ballads “May This Be Love” It’s pretty much a faithful rendition right down to the rippling metallic guitar notes that fall in the spaces between lyrics And Hynde’s voice which is just as effective caterwauling or caressing gives the song an interesting decidedly feminine touch “Downtown (Akron)” is the most raucous rambunctious rave-u- p this band has performed since “Tattooed d Love Boys" from the group’s debut blistered ears around the globe riff-a-ra- self-title- Stars of the soaps to answer inquiries Top records is Billboard Publications Inc Top singles Three NBC actors to appear at Lagoon “Step By Step” New Kids on the Block (Columbia) 2- “lt Must Have Been Love” Roxette (EMI) — Gold (More than 500000 singles sold) 3- “Poison” Bell Biv Devoe (MCA) — Platinum (More than million singles sold) 4- “Do You Remember?” Phil Collins (Atlantic) 5- “Hold On” Wilson Phillips (SBK) — Gold 1- FARMINGTON — Ever wonder if the actors and actresses in i television’s daytime dramas ' watch soap operas?
