My 1111th most played album. Pretty Maids - Louder Than Ever. The fourteenth album It was released on 21 March 2014. Peaked at #11 Denmark, I love this European metal and I love this band. This is a new recording / greatest hits album 4 new songs and songs are recorded from 5 older albums. the pinnacle of 80’s progressive metal music, sounds like pop Dream Theater or Zeppelin with Van Halen on lead guitar. My favorite song from the collection is "Psycho Time Bomb Planet Earth" (originally from Scream, 1994). More great songs; "Playing God" (originally from Planet Panic, 2002), "Deranged" and "Wake Up to the Real World" (originally from Wake Up to the Real World, 2006).
