PRETTY MAIDS - Motherland

[Glen]

Nothing wrong with these lyrics imo - far less slushy than most melodic ballds these day!

 

 

Enter my heart

I beg for you girl

Come be the spark

That light up my world

Let's drown in a dream

Let me hear you say yes

That's all that I need

The message I miss

 

Risk your emotions

It's all open wide

And I'll be your soul mate

Right by your side

I'll be there for you baby

When darkness falls

Come to your rescue

Whenever you call

 

Baby I'll be your rock

Your knight in shining armour

Girl there is not a thing

I wouldn't do

And nothing can stop

This fire in my heart and

You know that it's true

I'd take a bullet for you

 

Let's fall into

Something divine

And a moment with you

Is like a thrill of a lifetime

Let's take this chance

This feeling so strong

Pledge our romance

And melt into one

 

Definitely agree that the new album is stronger than Pandemonium - not that I dont like Pandemonium, its just that newie is great!

[JamesEagle]

Baby I'll be your rock

Your knight in shining armour

Girl there is not a thing

I wouldn't do

And nothing can stop

This fire in my heart and

You know that it's true

I'd take a bullet for you

 

 

It's not just slushiness; I think the chorus, especially that line at the end, is truly awful. Spectacularly so. Can't help it, just makes me cringe every time I hear it, so as with many things, we'll have to agree to disagree!

 

I think we should talk about 'To Fool A Nation' and 'Wasted', which imo are very good songs.

I'll meet you guys in the middle as I love Bullet but also love Wasted and Fool a Nation.

[Jeff]

Sad To See You Suffer is one of my favs from this one.

I lean towards James opinion of the Bullet For You lyrics...I'm not quite at the "cringe" level when I hear those words but I probably shudder a little.

 

From Pandemonium, you have to include Breathless as a top tune along with Cielo Drive, IMO.

 

Overall, both very good albums. Keep it going PM.

Underworld here we come!!

Wow.... where in the fuck have I been? I've heard of these guys for many years but for one reason or another, I never really got around to ever listening to them. After the great reviews on here for "Pandemonium", I remember checking it out once and wasn't blown away by it. So I don't think I ever played it again. After watching the video for the new song, I gave the new disc a spin. Holy fucking shitballs, this is one fucking awesome disc. I love just about every track on here!! "Motherland" kicks all kind of ass. So now, I must find "Pandemonium" and re-check it out. To me, "Motherland" blew me away from the first play, something "Pandemonium" did not.

'Spooked' is still my personal favourite from these guys, with the Jap bonus tracks. I also agree that anything before 'Jump The Gun' is insignificant, but everything onwards, including that CD is great to excellent. Love 'Jump the gun!'

Love Games & Rodeo are AWESOME, Yellow Rain is great......the others I can live without.

[AlphaMale]

Did the singer sound different on the earlier stuff? I heard a track the other day from one of their earlier discs and the singers voice wasn't as good as the recent releases.

[Glen]

defo pulling this out tonight - topped my 2014 list and I haven't listened to it in over a year!!!

[AlphaMale]

I listened to this and Pandemonium mix cd I made. Some awesome stuff.

 

Can't wait for a new cd.

Invu is just fucking insanely awesome!

 

Id go as far as to call it a classic, what a ear crushing perfectly produced, professional sounding, and overall overwhelming recording and sound, this song landed on my top 20 of all time sometime in the mid 2014's, and has done nothing but work it's way up that list since, I am totally taken back by this song, and I dont see them ever being able to top it on an individual level, but PM have done that a few times yet here I sit, commenting on this song, a fucking legendary track, insanely awesome is a good start, but if you feel about this track the way I do, I have a hard time even fishing out the proper words to describe it, everything just seems so minimal, like any words I use are discrediting the track, maybe Im just to passionate about it, but I cant help what I hear, only comment on how it sits in my brain after hearing it, I could never not like this song or hear it to many times, it's one of probably a handful of songs ever, in the history of music that seems to get better every time I hear it!!!

Ha, I can recall reporters and journalists of various fanzines still searching for the missing link of evolution from Red, Hot And Heavy.
