Power Ballads Gold Review by Rob Theakston
Like spandex pants, pyrotechnics, and concept records, the power ballad is as essential to a proper hard-rockin' band as a mid-concert guitar or drum solo. Giving the band a moment to show its sensitive side was just as important as the hardest song on the album, striking a balance and making the music accessible to those who like a little love in their rock. A time-honored tradition since the '70s, this two-disc compilation is not just a reasonably priced two-disc session, it's an anthropological barometer mapping the evolution of the power ballad. Metal love song compilations come and go, but never has this song style been so meticulously documented so well. Every single important moment in the history of power ballads is included in this 30-song session. From its early origins from classic rock bands like Styx, Kiss, Nazareth, and Foreigner; to its prime time golden years as a crucial centerpiece in a hair metal band's oeuvre (Poison, Extreme, Warrant, etc.), it's all here. Songs that transcended hard-rocking FM stations to soft rock background stations and back again. Lacking filler completely, this is a collection that is essential for any serious fan of the song style that has touched so many lives.

Best Ballads is an unofficial 2005 compilation CD for Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. It features 14 Malmsteen/Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force songs and one track when he was a member of Alcatrazz. No label listed but was most likely an alleged release from Bulgaria or Ukraine, both or neither.

"Best Ballads," released in 1996, is a compilation album by the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath, focusing on their most powerful and emotional ballads. The collection showcases the band's ability to blend heavy riffs with poignant lyrics, highlighting the softer side of their music. Key tracks often featured include "Changes," "Dear Father," and "Lonely Is the Word," each illustrating the band's range beyond typical metal themes. The album serves as a great introduction for new listeners and offers a nostalgic experience for longtime fans.
