I love this album. I think I know every word to every song on this album. It may be over the top, it may be extravagant, but you know what? I love it regardless. Meat Loaf has one hell of a voice, Jim Steinman's songwriting is at its best and his piano playing is awesome (the opening to "Bat Out Of Hell". I mean come on), and Todd Rundgren's guitar work (see: the motorcycle sequence in the titular track) is phenomenal.
This album is sick.

As Rocky said above, it's incredibly over the top, extravagant to the point of vulgarity. But, sometimes, that's a good thing! Not everything should be measured and cool. I'm not a great fan of most of Meat Loaf's stuff from what I've heard, but here it plain works. Steinman and Loaf have a good go at blotting out the sun with sheer sonic oomph, and while it ain't perfect it's still admirable.
Also that title track? Stone cold fuckin' classic.

I'm not a huge meatloaf fan, so I can't appreciate too much of the album, but I gotta give him credit for that intro. I mean that's gotta be one of the most exciting starts to an album ever.

I'm not crazy about this album, but I love that a corny overblown good time can crack the BEA top 400.
