Pretty Maids-Future World (1987)

"Future World" was the second album by the Danish band Pretty Maids, the work that opened the American market for them and, along with their debut "Red, Hot and Heavy", is considered their two best contributions to hard rock and heavy metal, as well as their most successful albums. Released in 1987, three years after their debut, Pretty Maids steered their style towards an Americanized sound with catchy choruses, powerful and sharp guitars, which, along with the interplay of keyboards, placed them among the best heavy metal albums of the late eighties. Tracks like the superb "Needles in the Dark" and "Loud 'n' Proud" alternate with more melodic songs such as "Eye of the Storm" and "Long Way Go", clear AOR tracks like "Rodeo", and epic heavy ballads like "Yellow Rain". From here the band would release great albums such as the following "Jump The Gun" (1990), where they had the collaboration of Roger Glover in the production, which would be a massive success in Japan or the laborious "Pandemonium" (2010), with which they managed to make a truly enviable album of great heavy metal.
