Before Nirvana came along in the early 1990s and effectively vanquished pop-friendly metal, the bands on Monster Ballads ruled the airwaves. While most of the acts on this compilation were very much at home playing glammed-out rock & roll, these leather-clad, bouffanted rockers all found that getting in touch with their sensitive sides could prove equally lucrative. Among the many guilty pleasures on the disc are Skid Row's dramatic "I Remember You," Whitesnake's wistful "Is This Love," Extreme's acoustic anthem "More Than Words," and, of course, Poison's pensive classic, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Get ready to raise those lighters high.

Before Nirvana came along in the early 1990s and effectively vanquished pop-friendly metal, the bands on MONSTER BALLADS ruled the airwaves.

Among the many guilty pleasures on the disc are Skid Row's dramatic "I Remember You," Whitesnake's wistful "Is This Love," Extreme's acoustic anthem "More Than Words," and, of course, Poison's pensive classic, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Get ready to raise those lighters high.
Throughout the age of hair metal, the power ballad stood as the obligatory inclusion on every album by any sensible band. This 18-song offering takes some of the best from that era and puts it all on one disc. Thankfully, these are all the original recordings, avoiding the trend of re-recording songs and presenting them as originals, which has recently become more common than ever. Some of the biggest numbers are here, including Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," Warrant's "Heaven," and Extreme's "More Than Words." For the power ballad fan, this is a solid record from start to finish, and a compilation well worth the sticker price. ~ Rob Theakston
