MEATLOAF "bat out of hell II:back into hell" cd, 1993.
yep!...the Meat is back under the articulate wings of producer Jim Steinman on this one....
great to see these two working together again as a team for the first time since 1981's "deadringer" album, without Steinman always appears to be like a bat without its ultrasonic radar operational IMO!.
but here he is in fine form, some newly written classic songs for this one and some covers from Steinmans 1981 "bad for good" album, pretty hard to give any cover version the full "***", but in this case it is justified as these songs are simply meatloaf songs, initially written for Steinman for him but used on his own album instead, quite simply, if you like the epic songs of Meat's first two albums then you will also love this one as i do and its impossible to criticise Meatloaf when he is working with the great Jim Steinman who always brings out the best in him everytime!
and you just got to love song titles that read like novels, pretty sure only Jim couls get away with being this pretentious...but then again so are his songs!
