Kickin' Power Ballads |
|
If you enjoy blazin' lead vocals, sharp guitars, and a mood for love, this cd is something to celebrate. Gone are the days of strong bgv's and super air guitar solos. Monster Ballads has plenty of big hair for your liking. With bands like Warrant, Poison, Damn Yankees and Mr. Big... Monster ballads is the only one who wants to be with you. |

every soft monster needs a hug |
First of all, I am NOT usually a fan of ballads, especially discs that gather a variety of ballads and stick them all in one place. To me, that's WAY too much. My head can only absorb a couple ballads at a time, and more often than not, I need a few rockers placed between each of the ballads to change the mood.
With that said, I love Monster Ballads. Sometimes we can't explain why we love the things we love- we just do! This is clearly an example of that.
Some of these songs have been played a lot when they were first released, such as "Almost Paradise", "More Than Words", and "When I'm With You". Other songs have been played more as the years have gone by, such as "Heaven", "Is This Love?", and "Wind of Change" (my personal favorite song). Actually, "High Enough" is probably my favorite song, with "When I'm With You" close behind.
I know many people will turn their head at such a compilation, completely certain it's not worth the money. But man... I just really like this collection of tunes. Maybe it's the memories of the late 80's calling, or maybe the vocal melodies just connect with me. I really don't know why I like it so much. I really do think it's worth owning. |

I bought this so the DJ at my Wedding could play some of the songs and give me & the other 80's Rock lovers a blast from the past. We did have a blast, totally. Great CD !!!!!!! |

All the Cheese |
|
This album epitomizes the cheese apparent in heavy metal. After being the rebellion soundtrack of choice in the 80s, it was overtaken by rap, whose top stars were criminal gangsters. This album has all the songs that made metal so great back in the day, only to lose their sense of humor later on as it's big stars turned into old men. Why would a bunch of jocks turn this into a popularity game? To some one like me who drinks every day, I love most of these songs, but where's the humor? |

A great running CD |
This CD is good to put into your Walkman and take a long run with.
There's not much to say except that the CD is all around good owing to a strong selection of songs. Well worth the purchase price and something that you'll listen to often over the years (as I have). |
