Title: Why oh why?
Review: This is not a good album. I am a huge fan of Jim Steinman and his music and the way Meatloaf gets the messages across. Meatloaf's amazing voice and stage presence are un-Paralleled. I usually enjoy Meat's non Steinman albums (such as this one is), because they try and are usually very good imitations of the Steinman albums (Bat I & II, Dead Ringer) but he totally missed here. James Michael who wrote the main tracks, is off the mark as is the Production. The songs have no climax no catchy refrains and seem to go nowhere. His last non-Steinman album was "Welcome To The Neighborhood"... not a masterpiece but enjoyable tracks like "Where The Rubber Meets The Road", "I'd Lie for You..." & "Martha". Sadly there are very few if any songs on here that you would even want to listen to twice. Upsetting that I have to write this but true... But not to worry, it appears Steinman is ready to work with the big guy again, and Bat III could be out as soon as 2005!!!
