Title: Avoid. For All That Is Good And Holy In This World Avoid.
Review: It is sad, and more than a little scary, to see how many reviews use the word "classic" to describe this roadkill of an album. To do so further reduces the word to utterly uselessness."Bat Out of Hell" remains what is was in 1978 -- a horrifically bad set of songs made all the worse by the bombastic and pompous production. That people still listen to this today just goes to show that no one has even gone broke underestimating the taste of the American public. If you have not had a copy of this for the past 28 years you need to think long and hard: If you have gone so long without it, why buy it now?Overwrought and completely and utterly unlistenable, it is claptrap like this that remind us just what it was that punk was (thankfully) rebelling against in the first place.Avoid. For all that is good and holy in this world, AVOID!
