| Look these songs: Live Until it Hurts, If It Can't Be Love, Never Too Late, A Love and a Fiction. Wow!!!! What a great hard rock!!!! But why theses songs are lost between a lot of boring metal songs?

| I really like and support Pretty Maids alot but this release sounds like Sin Decade,Scream & Anything Worth Doing. THey are all great stuff but if you mixed up the songs and told me to tell you which cd they came from I couldn't. I like the above releases but not as much as Future World or Jump The Gun.

| This is very much in Euro-Metal territoy, a mixture of all those classic German hard rock bands. Something like Accept, but with much better vocals. On the ballad "Twisted", the band stretch themselves to a higher plain, and it's good to hear.

| Dragonfly, I agree with You. Pretty Maids hasnīt made their records anymore the way they used to do. This one is much better than "Scream" and thereīs some good moods in the track (like "Die With Your Dreams")."Hard Luck Woman" is great cover.

| Another spectacula release by these guys. Dragonfly is on the right track, but wrong at the same time. These guys stick to the formula that the fans have grown to expect from them. If a band stays the same, some people bitch about it, if they change, people bitch just the same. They can't win either way. I personally am glad they stuck to their guns in a time when everyone was jumping the alternacrap bandwagon.

| On this one they team up with Tommy Hansen again...That's how they gained that immaculate sound!

| 'Spooked' kicks off with a keyboard intro that Alan Owen is famous for, part gothic, and part sci-fi, before the track 'Freakshow' blasts into hyperspace. 'Die With Your Dreams' has a Yngwie Malmsteen/Brazen Abbot feel to it and is musically superb. Pomp overload kicks in on 'Live Until It Hurts'. The obligatory ballads also put an appearance in, in the name of 'If It Can't Be Love' and the rather awesomely trippy 'Hard Luck Woman' penned by Kiss' Paul Stanley.

| A great Cd. I think the riff from Die with your boots is a complete steal from Streets The Nightmare Begins-But I like it none the less

| The first half of this album is mostly heavy rock songs, which contains a mix of both good and bad songs. But starting with "Twisted", they show off how good they can be floating from genre to genre with probably the best second half of any of their albums. Favorite track is the ballad "If It Can't Be Love". 8/10

| This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Just brilliant. I couldn't believe it when I heard tracks like 'Die with your dreams' and 'Live until it hurts' the first time I heard this. They are just THAT good! Then there is the amazing 'Spooked' but it's left to 'Never too late' and 'Love and a fiction' to steal an amazing show. Two of my top 20 songs ever and assist in making this CD truly essential. Killer songs, killer band, killer album. OWN!

| Someone just gave me a CDR copy of this but it doesn't have the last 3 tracks. Are they bonus tracks or did I get shortchanged??
|
| From: Geoff |
Date: January 7, 2005 at 18:39 |
| Hey Kip, unfortunately to get the last three tracks you need the Japanese version. Normally I don't pay those extra prices for Japanese albums with a few bonus tracks, but when a song like 'Love and a fiction' is involved there is no other alternative...

| I got Love And A Fiction (which is indeed an AWESOME melodic rocker) by getting the Hard Luck Woman single from a second hand record store... In any case, this is probably their best album, mixing metal tracks like Spooked and Fly Me Out with melodic rock anthems such as Live Until It Hurts and Die With Your Dreams. The production is also great and Ronnie Atkins is at the absolute top of his game! Essential!

| Another awesome album buy these hard rockers. The three bonus tracks on the Japanese version make it even better. I agree with the above comments about "A Love And A Fiction". This is indeed an excellent track that make's getting the Japanese version that much better.

| http://www.frontiers.it/Default.aspx?tabid=85&pl=P Pretty Maids are finishing their new album. It will be released on Frontiers. I just found these clips on the Frontiers homepage. It sounds Fucking good. Pretty Maids are one of the best metal/hard rock bands ever.

| I am so lucky to have a copy of the upcoming Pretty Maids cd. Got it as a promo from a friend. WHAT CAN I SAY. One of the best hard rock bands are back. The new cd is fantastic. The melodies and the production is superb. Ronnie Atkins voice is stronger than ever, and the guitar riffs are out of this world. On this release Pretty Maids are very true to their 80's roots in songwriting and the ballads are AWESOME.This will be on my TOP 3 releases of 2006. Hammer rules, he is a true craftman.10/10

| Twisted is not a ballad...Die with your dreams is not melodic rock. These are just heavy metal monsters like Dead or alive. Your mind is where the money is is another fantastic song, maybe a little on the modern rock side. Spooked is also a modern metal anthem nad they do one track like this on almost every new album (check out Until it dies, Worthless and Die for a lie). I like every song here and 3-4 are in my all time favorites. This is so superior compared to 90's metal bands that sold more than Pretty Maids...such a pitty...One of my top ten 90's releases
