Info:
Another solid slab of melodic metal from our favorite Danish boys. It seems as though these guys can never let me down. Although I have to admit that this album took that extra spin to really get into. I'm not sure what my problem was, but I was almost disappointed with 'Wake Up To The Real World' at first. It might be the somewhat thin production that threw me for a loop. Because now I really enjoy this stellar CD. If anything, Pretty Maids have gone somewhat back to the sound of their earlier material. Many of the songs are quite heavy, and with a beefier sound, they would have been total throwback to the 80's. There are 2 reasons this is not the case as is though. 1. The mentioned production, and 2. There are maybe 1 or 2 ballads too many here. Don't get me wrong, I like the bands ballads also, I just don't need every second song to be one. Kudos for the excellent cover of Deep Purple's classic "Perfect Strangers" though. All in all a solid effort.
