Album Review

Although Meat Loaf has made several albums since Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell is an explicit sequel to that milestone of '70s pop culture. Reprising the formula of the original nearly to the letter, Back Into Hell is bombastic and has too much detail, thanks to the pseudo-operatic splendor of Jim Steinman's grandly cinematic songs. From the arrangements to the lengths of the tracks, everything on the album is overstated; even the album version of the hit single, "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)," is 12 minutes long. Yet that's precisely the point of this album, and is also why it works so well. No other rock & roller besides Meat Loaf could pull off the humor and theatricality of Back Into Hell and make it seem real. In that sense, it's a worthy successor to the original.

great job meat loaf, i love how you have albums that have sequels like bat outta hell 1 2 3

Amazing Sequal

Meat Loaf has come back and bigger than ever with Bat Out of Hell two. With the hillarious and funny rant of Wasted Youth to the Opera-esque Rock Song I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are is just crying for perforance as a Rock Ballad as well. I would recommend this article to anyone, wether you Love Meat Loaf or you've never heard of him.

Not a bad attempt

Yes this isn't the first album, and yes it does copy alot of the idea of the first album, and yes it really isn't that original, but other than that, if your a new fan of Meatloaf this album works, but if your a fan of the Classic original it only works on one level, this could have being created into a double album under the original title. Now that would of been a great idea. As for the third album called Bat Out Of Hell 3, well I guest "two out of three ain't bad"

Marvin Lee Aday is a singer and occasional actor who, for reasons never definitively answered, has recorded under the name Meat Loaf. In all likelihood a childhood nickname, the tag stuck, and many puns followed as the performer — who tipped the scales at well over 300 pounds — became one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970s before enjoying a commercial renaissance two decades later. Meat Loaf was born in Dallas, TX. The product of a family of gospel singers, he moved to Los Angeles...
