  • Brilliant Homage to 1950s Teen Boy Fantasies
Michael Lee Aday, aka Meat Loaf, had performed on stage in productions of HAIR and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, and had developed into the larger-than-life performer stage productions often require. When he and Jim Sharman became friends, they agreed that three of Steinman’s songs for an unproduced musical titled NEVERLAND (“Bat Out of Hell,” “Heaven Can Wait,” and “All Revved Up With No Place to Go”) had potential as the foundation of an album—and the result was a collection of songs that virtually every recording company turned down. The album BAT OUT OF HELL was eventually recorded and quietly released by a minor label, Cleveland International, in 1977. It was not an instant success, but over time word of mouth began to boost sales, and at present it is one of the very few albums to have sold in excess of forty million copies. Critics of the album tend to dismiss it as excessively theatrical, bombastic, and lyrically trivial—and they are right. The songs are hormone-hysterical reflections of teenage angst, a 1950s teenage fantasy created and interpreted by people who play it out with remarkable conviction. Everything here is excessively big, the arrangements, the character vocals and choral explosions, nods to heavy metal imagery, the self-indulgent teenage rock and roll mentality. And it’s easy to recognize the show’s theatrical roots: everything sounds like it has been lifted from a Broadway show. BAT OUT OF HELL isn’t just an album, it’s a performance piece, and Meat Loaf is its star. And he delivers. Meat Loaf’s soaring, muscular, emotional voice is what makes the album work—it’s impossible to imagine any other singer pulling it off. He shifts from rock and roll kitsch like “Bat Out of Hell” and “All Revved Up With No Place To Go” into unexpected power ballads like “Heaven Can Wait” and “For Crying Out Loud.” “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” is also a knock out, the most obviously theatrical song on the album, unexpectedly and wickedly funny in its portrait of a “first time” car sex fantasy. The “big” song from BAT OUT OF HELL, of course, is “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” an odd sort of love song that denies love. And it’s all incredibly listenable and a lot of fun, a reflection of a rock and roll era that existed primarily in the minds of teenage boys half a century ago. Then as now, BAT OUT OF HELL provokes very mixed reactions. A lot of people absolutely despise the thing, and they do so pretty much for the very reasons its fans like it. Me, I think it’s a knock out. Strongly recommended. GFT, Amazon Reviewer ... show more

  • Meatlof - Big And Bombastic
Ahhh....Meatloaf, people either love him or hate him. Bat Out Of Hell was one of the biggest selling albums of the 70's. For some it was the ultimate over the top bombastic monster of an album, for others it was a prime example of overbearing pomp rock crap. Personally, I have always loved this album. Meatloaf had a unique and powerful voice and he was one hell of a stage performer. I played this thing to death when I owned it on vinyl and finally replaced my old record with this compact disc. The album boasts and all star cast with all of the songs written by Jim Steinman, and the album produced by Todd Rundgren. Several huge hit singles came from the disc including the title track, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth and the classic teenage lust anthem Paradise By The Dashboard Light. All Revved Up With No Place To Go also received some AOR airplay. The rest of the album is fleshed out with two bombastic power ballads Heaven Can Wait and the big finale For Crying Out Loud. I know people who absolutely hate this album and I can understand why, but it clicked with me right from the beginning and I have always enjoyed it. Yes it is almost Andrew Lloyed Webber-ish in its scope and every thing Meat does is over the top, but Bat remains a unique and powerful album that in my opinion deserves the big sales that it achieved. ... show more
