The Pretenders: Pretenders II (Sire)
Jim Farber, Creem, November 1981
WELCOME TO the Pretenders' nightmare — an entire second LP to fill, hopefully living up to a big box office debut, and just about all Chrissie and company can come up with are a bunch of industrial waste Def Zeppelin riffs. This wouldn't be so personally annoying if (along with everyone else in the world) I hadn't gone so ga-ga over the first platter.
