An absolute classic...mostly!
This will always be one of my favourite albums, always fun and memorable, featuring Meat Loaf's best known songs.


The songwriting from Jim Steinman is outstanding, and the music always has a great amount energy, whether the song is fast or slow.

For me personally, the only track that lets the album down is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", which starts off fine, but is ruined at the point Ellen Foley comes in. Foley herself is not to blame, but at this point the song becomes repetitive and silly, particularly the part with the baseball commentary running through "bases".
