Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pretenders is the first studio album by the band of the same name. Released just before 1980, the album often considered one of the foundation bricks of Alternative Rock and New Wave as we know it.The album was recorded in 1979, with the first track recorded being their cover of The Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing". However, the original producer, Nick Lowe, found them hard to work with and quit production early on, so they replaced him with Chris Thomas, who stayed throughout the rest of the production. The band recorded 18 tracks for the album, of which four were released as non-album singles, and two were released as B-sides to "Brass in Pocket." |

Uncommon Time: "Tattooed Love Boys" switches between 7/8 and 4/4 every measure. "The Phone Call" is at 7/4 in the verses. |

Epic Rocking: "Private Life" (6:25). "Lovers of Today" (5:51) falls just short. |
