IMO, the original is one of the best albums to come out of the seventies. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out.

Jim Steinman never fails to deliver.
Fixed it for you. Meat Loaf has failed to deliver a number of times, but not when he's singing Jim's stuff. Of course, this will probably be the last collaboration, what with the lawsuit and all...

Agreed. And there's even some debate about this album even being a 'collaboration'. It appears that it's more along the lines of "Meatloaf covers some Steinman tunes".
I love the original Bat out of Hell. One of the first CDs I owned back in the 80s when my friends didn't even know what CDs were. I love the over-the-top, almost musical theater style hard rock that the Steinman/Loaf combination delivers. I didn't even know there was a third album out before reading this thread. I'll have to check this one out.

Try listening to Jim's bad for good CD. Great songs horrible voice. I guess some of meat's stuff hasn't been great but he can do it without Jim. I don't think Jim wrote anything on his last CD and it also has some great songs.
I do agree that they both do there best work with each other. It's to bad the couldn't put aside there ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- and work together on bat 3 and write all new songs.

Am I the only one who has trouble telling the difference between 85% of the songs on those albums?

No, not at all. Steinman's a bit of a one-trick pony (although I do enjoy the one trick), and you can usually pick out his songs in about 10 seconds.
Stuff he's done that wasn't sung by Meatloaf:
Total Eclipse of the Heart
Holding out for a Hero
It's All Coming Back to Me Now

Oh GOD... I was in Quebec City when that last one came out... they literally had it playing from every window, every car, I swear they must have installed speakers in the street lights so that those without radios could always hear it. No matter where you went, if you opened a window, you could hear that song. For months.
