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.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
