Pretty Wild


Motley Mike

Recommended Posts

Man these guys are awesome!! their a new band from Sweden and mand do they have all of the sleaze elements of them. Sounds almost just like the 80s! The singer reminds me a bit of Ray West from Spread Eagle! which is a good thing in my book! Im sure some of you probly heard of them already but for those of you who havnt, check em out here!

Just been listening to this on Spotify and boy is this good.

 

The first 3 tracks are solid sleazy rockers...then this thing takes off -

 

4. All I Want - really nice ballad

5. Alive - killer sleazy melodic hard rocker

6. Staring At The Sun - another excellent hard rocker

7. High Enough - even better ballad (very cool solo)

8. Ready To Go - solid as hell hard rocker (very Crazy Lixx)

9. Wildheart - another very Crazy Lixx sounding rocker. Nice

10. Vampire - Just brilliant. Perfect sleazy rocker. My 2nd fav on the album

11. Blow The Night - solid rocker...great verses, solid chorus

12. Come Out Tonight - Bona Fide killer track. Best song. 10/10.

 

The last 2 tracks are solid rockers.....

 

Excellent album....hardly a surprise after the debut disc, but this is a big step up and is really melodic in the main part.

 

Highly recommended.

Wow, I found this to be quite uninteresting... but then again I'm more of an AOR boy than a sleaze/glam dude.

It's all very well done, but to be honest I've heard this type of stuff so many times that if a new band wants to grab my attention they need to be REALLY good, I mean good in the Crashdïet/Crazy Lixx/Reckless Love class, and these guys just ain't there yet.

My faves are "Ready To Go" (a bit like H.E.A.T) and the solid rocker "Pretty Wild" which is a really nice tune.

 

A Good album, just not amazing.

 

(By the way, the singer reminds me of a singer from another band, I just can't figure out who - Olli Herman?)

This one is a goodie, the first three tracks might not be a convincing start but I began to appreciate it more on the second spin. I agree with the CRAZY LIXX and other Swedish reference, nothing's new on the formula but it works effectively well. Perhaps two weaker tracks here are 'Troubled Water' and 'Pretty Wild', but the rest are above average and 4 tracks for me that's worth of more than 9 are 'Wildheart', 'Vampire', 'Blow The Night', and 'Come Out Tonight'. There are at least 3 ballads here and all of them are high quality. Production is very good, musicianship is also good, and replay value I guess should fall around 8 or 8.5. This one came out as a nice surprise early this year, I don't know how it holds after 5 spins, but for now I guess it's good at around 84% but might fall slightly later on.

You are incorrect: "Troubled Water" and "Pretty Wild" are two of the better tracks ;)

This is a really good disc...if I haven't said it before. :whistle:

 

Indeed! My initial opinion was, "This is good." After a few listens, I realized, "This is damn good." I think that it's one of the best of its breed in the last few years.

    • Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s
    • Thanks I was wondering why he went with this cover ...lol  I wouldn't have but again thats me ...lol But I will be buying this CD. Peace Guys ...
    • Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.  
    • While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan
    • New single 'Symphony Of Life'.    
    • Video for 'We Must Make A Stand'.    
    • DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
    • Like that one also, some nice Rowish vibes at times
