Fuelled by hit singles “Talk of the Town” and “Message of Love,” the album maintained the band’s chart success, peaking at #7 in the UK and #10 in the US. With standout tracks like their cover of The Kinks’ “I Go to Sleep,” the record continued the Pretenders' momentum, blending punk energy with melodic pop-rock.
