On their 1989 sophomore release,
Time Will Tell,
Fifth Angel emulate the highbrow metal approach of their successful Seattle brethren
Queensrÿche (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
