For quite a while, I have been delaying the pleasure of listening to Fifth Angel's sophomore album, and I have only the band's namesake album to blame. Fifth Angel had such a humongous impact on me, that it literally "forbade" me to move on to this one. The reason was simple; released in the mid-'80s, Fifth Angel was/is/will always be a heavy/power metal behemoth, unlike Time Will Tell, whose songs were "adulterated" with the glam/hard n' heavy rock spree that prevailed in the late '80s. Be that as it may, the album still kicks ass, but I have it on good authority when I say that distance from the debut should be taken first, in order to enjoy the sophomore affair.
