After the average "Planet Panic", Pretty Maids are back with "Wake Up In The Real World". An album back to their roots. The melodies are back, the big choruses, the melodic lines and the huge guitar work are also back! Ronnie Atkins voice is on top form and it takes only a few minutes to realize that the Pretty Maids that we knew are back in business. The album starts with "Wake Up To The Real World", a hard edged track with a huge melodic chorus line. " All In The Name Of Love " is another highlight of the album which combines the heavy riffing with the amazing melodic chorus. " As Guilty As You" and " Another Shot Of Your Love " are both very melodic tunes, more mid-tempos but with memorable choruses, classic Maids! One of my favourite tracks in this album is "Terminal Violence". A really heavy track with a catchy as hell hook, brilliant!! One of the strongest point of this release is the amazing guitar work from Ken Hammer, amazing riffs and inspired solos from one of my favourite guitarists. Thanx God, Planet Panic's sound is long gone and the melodic hard rock sounding is back. Overall this is an excellent comeback album from this great band. A must have!
