Thunder - Ballads by Thunder(mp3 320)ICM369 ___________________________________________ Thunder are a very underrated rock band from the UK. They were formed in 1989 by singer Danny Bowes and guitarist Luke Morley, who had previously been together in a band called Terraplane. The singer has an excellent and very powerful voice and Bowes is a great guitarist, they specialise in quite commercial and catchy songs, and are known for the quality of their ballads hence this album which is a collection of their ballads from over the years. It is worth mentioning some of the standout tracks, though, as they deserve a place in any rock fan's record collection. Love walked in leads off which is quite apt since it's one of the best and most known songs. Castles in the sand is brilliant, Its about feeling that love has passed you by, that you keep building castles in the sand only to see them washed away. Low life in high places is a very well written song, the theme is pretty self evident from the title its about how some of the worst of human behaviour comes from people who have risen to powerful positions, especially politicians. It includes some nice acoustic guitars and Bowes voice is in good form. A better man as with a number of their ballads, its a song that you could wallow in if you were in a mood to just wallow in ballads! It does have a positive outlook though; it's basically saying that when I look in the mirror, I see a better man and thats because of the love that he feels for the woman in his life. I picked this album up very cheap in a sale so am very happy with it. However, they never managed to achieve huge commercial success but have been feted by many people in the rock business as one of the genre's hidden gems. I'm sure that Axl Rose once said they were a band that he liked and that they were once picked to tour with Aerosmith. ____________________ 1. Love Walked In 2. Don't Wait for Me 3.

Thank you so much ICM369!
Fantastic album.
I remember having Backstreet Symphoney as a teenager and that it was my ultimate favorite, but this album tops that by a mile....absolutely perfect!
