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).

Red, Hot and Heavy로 비교적 무난하게 데뷔를 치른 Pretty Maids는 3년 뒤, Future World를 발표할 수 있었다. 3년이라는 기간 동안 라인업에 변화가 생기는데, 일단 트윈 기타체제가 원기타체제로 바뀌었다. 이렇게 되면 사운드가 유연해진다거나 사운드가 비는 등 문제의 소지가 발생할 수도 있었지만... Read More

Pretty Maids는 데뷔 앨범에 이어 두 번째 작품 Future World가 성공하면서 헤비 메탈씬에 이름이 알려지기 시작했다. 이들이 앞서 발표한 두 작품은 멜로딕 메탈로 분류되고 있으나 세일즈 포인트면에서 동시대에 활동한 밴드들에 비해 뚜렷해 보이지는 않는다. Pretty Maids는 초기에 동시대를 주름... Read More

1983년 덴마크의 코펜하겐에서 보컬의 Ronnie Atkins와 기타의 Ken Hammer를 중심으로 결성된 Pretty Maids의 EP 포함 두 번째 앨범이다. Hard Rock 계의 거장으로 불리는 밴드의 대표적인 음반 중 하나로서 높은 평가를 받고 있는 앨범이지만 개인적으로는 그다지 만족스럽게 듣지 못하였다. 정통메탈 사... Read More

My most played album # 664. I love this band nobody ever heard of. In 1987 I was listening to an Album Network CD, a industry promo for DJ's and Radio stations and a song Future World was on it I thought it was a greatest song ever. The album peaked at #165 on billboard and sold 300,000 worldwide I thought they where on their way. They did great in Japan and Europe yet never in... Read More

My most played album #1079. Pretty Maids - Kingmaker. The fifteenth studio album released on November 4, 2016.

This release 16 plays in 17 months still playing every month, rising fast on my most played list!! This band just keeps getting better w... Read More

덴마크 출신의 Heavy Metal 밴드 Pretty Maids의 데뷔 앨범. Pretty Maids는 해외에서 유명한 밴드로 국내에서는 거의 인지도가 없다시피한 밴드이다. 이들은 주로 Melodic Hard Rock, 혹은 Melodic Heavy Metal 밴드로 해외에서는 그렇게 알려져 있는데, 이들의 데뷔 앨범만 들어보면 오히려 정통 헤비 메탈과 더... Read More
