You mean metal ballads? Seems like there were thousands of them in the heyday of it.

Great White - Save Your Love
Tesla - Modern Day Cowboy
Kix - Don't Close Your Eyes
Def Leppard - Too Late For Love
Dokken - Alone Again
Ratt - Closer to my Heart

Those are ones I remember liking at the time.

Magnum - Wings of Heaven (1988)

Review
Oh, what a joy this album is. Not only is it a joy for fans and music lovers alike, but a joy for the Magnum camp as well. For years they had chipped away at that untenable stone called 'recognition' and finally, with this release, it cracked. Rightly so, as well. Wings of Heaven is a masterpiece and deserving of all the praise it receives!

Back in the days of the late eighties, when music as a whole was beginning to pick itself out of the mire of crap produced during 'the electronic age', Magnum had begun to show a more commercial vein to their music, a direction which suited them financially but weighed heavily upon their critical appreciation. Suspicions were that Magnum would, with their following album, confirm rumours that their mystical, eloquent past was now dead and commercial pop-rock was their future. What a kick in the teeth for commercialism Wings of Heaven proved!

Merging the modern rock sound with the experience of over ten years on the road, Wings of Heaven sounds like nothing else in its genre. It could be accused of being sensationalist and overly-produced were it not for the tight lesh Clarkin and the rest of the Magnum boys keep on the tracks. Veering dangerously close at times to that precipice called commercial, the album is given an edgy-ness with aligns brilliantly with the overall battered vision and theme of the album which makes it, at times, spellbinding.

There's no doubting that the maturity of Clarkin's songwriting blossomed here. Tracks such as the driving 'Days of no Trust', the lofty 'Wild Swan' and the vast, expansive and epic 'Don't Wake the Lion' are a fitting tribute to a remarkable and woefully understated musician.

The vibrancy of the album is given in the form of the astounding 'Start Talking Love' and 'Different Worlds', whilst 'One Step Away' and 'Pray for the Day' are tracks any self-respecting musician would like in their portfolio. As for 'It must of been Love', well, who didn't record this for their partner when they first heard it?

A brilliant and, most importantly, well deserved album.
