"Maybe the most enjoyable and accessible Pretenders album. Their debut might just shade it but if I had only one of their albums to take to a desert island it's be this one." Reply

"Despite many of the songs sounding the same, The Better Life manages to entertain." Reply
"It will grow on you with time if you let it. At first I would tell you this is my least favorite from them. Now Im not so sure which one is my #1. Great hip hop record." Reply
