The former was one of the best metal albums I've heard in a long time. Not only was it intense, dark, and hard-hitting, but it had an atmospheric chill to it, and it was melodic and well-written. "Motherland" is quite similar to "Pandemonium" in that regard, although this most recent effort is simply a good, solid metal album. "Motherland" is more balanced throughout; there is not a bad song on this record. The highlights, however, are not quite as good as the previious album. For example, "Bullet for You" is a love song, a typical ballad. The ballad from "Pandemonium" was a song called "Little Drops of Heaven," which was a perfect metal ballad with lyrics more haunting and deep than the simple love song would typically be. It's much of the same for the other tracks. Overall excellent stuff. Song structures and production are amazing, the band has never sounded better. If you liked their previous work or are a fan of hard rock, pop-metal, or metal in general, pick this up. While it may not be the masterpiece that "Pandemonium" was, it certainly is up there with the best rock albums of 2013, and it shows that even when this band is not at the top of their songwriting game, it's still head and shoulders above most of what's out there today. Review: Yes, yes, yes... - Mother Land and Pandemonium are both HUGE offerings of M E T A L and seduction. I know of no other band that so easily moves between ripping your head off and cradling you in a warm and fuzzy love song like the totally commercial pop sounding Little Drops of Heaven. Pretty Maids rant against "the machine" and delve into the human psyche like few other bands can. I mean, c'mon... how about that original out take from the Ice Man? That's great stuff. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B0YL0E0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #148,953 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #68,099 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (143) | | Date First Available | January 19, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 8024391059326 | | Label | FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2017 | | Product Dimensions | 4.91 x 5.63 x 0.38 inches; 3.68 ounces | ## Images ![Motherland - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eZDasDSfL.jpg) ![Motherland - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XDat0jjbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still Great, but not "Pandemonium" *by C***R on June 16, 2013* It is a tribute to the greatness of Pretty Maids' last album, "Pandemonium," that I'm still giving their leatst effort 5 stars.

I know of no other band that so easily moves between ripping your head off and cradling you in a warm and fuzzy love song like the totally commercial pop sounding Little Drops of Heaven. Pretty Maids rant against "the machine" and delve into the human psyche like few other bands can. I mean, c'mon... how about that original out take from the Ice Man? That's great stuff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do these guys ever disappoint? *by J***R on June 2, 2013* Pretty Maids released their "Motherland" CD in 2013. Much like all their other albums, this is pretty straight forward melodic hard rock with hints of metal at times. This could easily be one of the Maids best records, and it's easily one of my favorites. The first thing that jumped out to me was, this album is really well produced and has some powerfully written songs. Most of the songs seem to deal with political upheaval and issues, but they don't go all Rage Against the Machine on us here. Pretty Maids simply state how much the world sucks on a daily basis. The songs are also pretty rocking throughout; there are the occasional ballads( and lets face it, these guys can make a ballad) which slow the record down a bit, but nothing too awful for my tastes. My favorite tracks were "Mother of All Lies," "Motherland," "Who,What,Where,When" and "Bullet For You." The rest are winners though as well. This album would have been five-stars for me, but there was just the littlest amount of filler that crept in and kept it from that designation. The songs that are good, are really good, but some songs just seemed a little to boring for me. Overall really strong offering. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/12732391-motherland](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/12732391-motherland) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
