Yes, cannot simply dismiss as "pop power ballads" there is an element x there and an edge. They take melodic ideas surprising directions which sound great. I like the little excursion from around 1:30
This music, especially the guitars remind me a lot of the British band Wishbone Ash. Argus is the album that came out in ‘72. Wishbone Ash song: blowin free th-cam.com/video/VnsZ1N_cI3Y/w-d-xo.html
