Chrissie Hynde has plucked some of the punk rage out of her music and replaced it with a pure, basic rhythm and blues for­ mat, a style still capable of brawling and bu tchering, but a style which has matured. "Middle of the Road" documents the aging of the band, the responsibilities time forces upon them, as Hynde sings ''I'm not the kind I used to be, I'm 33 , I've got a kid, baby." The tight, pounding "Time the Avenger" crashes and burns in the same manner, a number sur­ facing the band's punk roots. The blues of' ~ My City Was Gone" is an irresistible treat. The bass of Malcolm Foster simply does all . the talking. Another gem, ,"Thumbelina" shuffles through the grooves as fast as its story tumbles across the continent, with its Western melody sent into overdrive by one of the hardest working drummers in the busi­ ness, Martin Chambers. This band is the modern-day Doors, folks , with the evidence con­ tained in their intelligent, yet mysterious, ominous message, in their mature, yet hard-nosed, gutsy style. It's what rock 'n' roll was meant to be.
