Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$The Pretenders}' eighth studio album, {^Loose Screw}, is their first on an independent label after 20 years with {@Warner}, but the switch hasn't made any difference in the group's style. It may have seemed to listeners that later albums softened the band's mainstream {\rock} sound in an attempt to restore commerciality, especially when professional songwriters {$Billy Steinberg} and {$Tom Kelly} began writing with group leader {$Chrissie Hynde}. (They co-wrote {$the Pretenders}' comeback hit single, 1994's {&"I'll Stand by You."}) But in fact, {$the Pretenders} have always mixed {\hard rock} songs with {\ballads}, and while {$Steinberg} and {$Kelly} are still on-board for two songs here ({&"Nothing Breaks Like a Heart"} and {&"Saving Grace"}) that are among the album's more melancholy and melodic slow tunes, there are also plenty of tough, unsentimental, guitar-driven songs in the traditional {$Pretenders} mold. Lead guitarist {$Adam Seymour}, in the band since 1994, has mastered the style of the band's original guitarist, {$James Honeyman-Scott}, a mixture of jarring chord fragments and chiming sounds. Drummer {$Martin Chambers} continues to keep strict tempos and to favor bits of {\reggae}-like syncopation, especially in the slower songs. But one still listens to a {$Pretenders} album for {$Hynde}'s throaty, murmuring alto and lacerating observations, and she fulfills expectations immediately with the harsh leadoff track, {&"Lie to Me,"} beginning a song series devoted to romantic conflict and recrimination. Some of that criticism is self-directed, notably on {&"Complex Person"} and {&"I Should Of,"} two appealing songs and could-be-hits, that is, if {$Hynde} didn't deliberately drop an expletive into the lyrics of each. A major label probably would have argued against that sort of thing, and maybe there's the difference in being on an indie. [The Japanese edition featured a bonus track.] ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
