Street gives six strings plenty of room on Hate for Sale. She’s sanded its edges to glide onto adult contemporary radio, and she’s flirted with passing trends, but she’s always centered herself with those ringing guitars. The no-frills sound of Hate for Sale could be called a back-to-basics if Hynde had ever budged from this sound to begin with. Street previously worked with the group on 1995’s acoustic live album The Isle of View and 1999’s ¡ Viva El Amor!, so he’s familiar with their strengths and quirks, realizing they’re at their best when they’re direct and unadorned. Maybe it helps that it’s helmed by Stephen Street-a producer who has long specialized in making the workaday combination of guitar, drums, and bass sound extraordinary. Hate for Sale, by contrast, feels like a Pretenders album. If you didn’t listen too closely, Alone sounded like a Pretenders album, but it didn’t feel like one.
