Description by OLDIES.com:
The "melodic" hard rocking band Fifth Angel released this, their second album, in 1988 to an appreciative public. (Today critics declare that the group was always underrated). Out of print for many years, this album is filled with the Heavy Metal and hard Rock which made the group famous on tunes such as "Cathedral", "Midnight Love", and "We Rule".

On their 1989 sophomore release, Time Will Tell, Fifth Angel emulate the highbrow metal approach of their successful Seattle brethren Queensr?che (clearly their intention), but more often resemble L.A.'s Dokken when they launch their aggressive staccato riffs and made-to-order pop-metal anthems like "Midnight Love," "Wait for Me," and "We Rule." Nevertheless, a few exceptions are worth noting: "Broken Dreams" is given a very beautiful acoustic introduction, "Angel of Mercy" rocks out rather convincingly, and, by the era's standards, "So Long" is a pleasantly well-executed power ballad. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
