I first heard this album in 2003. I wasn't sure what I felt about it at first as it was a bit different from what I was expecting. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it. This is my second copy as I wore the first one out!!!! It's a must buy for any Meat Loaf fan.
Meatloaf is a great artist and this latest tribute of his to our music industry is absolutely brill!!! The song is so catchy and you will be singing along as soon as you hear it. Meatloafs voice is very powerful along with the other artist singing the song with him. Absolutely Brilliant.
If you love Meat Loaf... REALLY love Meat Loaf, how can you be without this album? The title track alone is enough to buy this for... and the hidden Mercury Blues Track is ace (but not as good as the live version from the Melbourne concert). If you like the Loaf in moderation.. maybe have the Bat albums.. well, this is really for real fans... you might just think 'oh, more of the same' and switch off.
But, Loaf fans, we all know that most things Loaf ROCK!
Oh, P.S., the Stephen Trask cover is a bit rubbish... the original Hedwig version is much better!
