Free Music Review: Melodic metal masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
Originally released in 1987, Future World was the second full-length album from Danish melodic heavy metal band Pretty Maids. Of all the metal bands to emerge in the `80s, Pretty Maids strikes me as the one that more that anyone really should have "made it big." The band had a very powerful and very accessible brand of metal that would have appealed to a pretty wide audience, but for whatever reason never quite broke through in a big way.
Future World is a totally classic melodic metal album, and is one of Pretty Maids' absolute best releases. This is the album that best captures the band's approach to heavy metal. It's undoubtedly a metal album, but it's not quite as heavy and in your face as the average Iron Maiden or Judas Priest release. It's melodic, but not poppy like the hair metal bands. Pretty Maids hit that sweet spot between the two elements, packing a metal punch, but with just enough accessibility and melody. It puts them in the same category as early Def Leppard, Icon and Leatherwolf. Highlights include "Future World," a classic almost power metal epic and "We Came to Rock," a rock anthem reminiscent of Y&T, but there really isn't a weak moment on the album.
Future World really is a fantastic album and one that belongs in every 80's metal fan's collection. If you're a fan of modern melodic metal along the lines of Starbreaker, Jorn, Masterplan and At Vance, you owe it to yourself to check out this album. Pretty Maids has been the standard in melodic heavy metal since the early `80s, and Future World is their defining album.
