Sale!
It may be true that Chrissie Hynde's songs on Packed! are the weakest in her career, but they are not the sole reason why the album is such a bland, uninspiring affair.
In the hands of producer Mitchell Froom, Hynde's stylistic retreads become even more unfocused and lackluster.
Froom's production lacks any edge, making the pleasant but pedestrian songs bland and featureless.
Only a cover of Hendrix's "May This Be Love" and "When Will I See You," a collaboration with guitarist Johnny Marr, stand out amid the number of undistinguished tracks on Packed!.
