iTunes Review

Like a deranged combination of Yes and Born to Run-era Springsteen, Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell took over AM and FM radio waves months after its 1977 release. After kicking around for years (he once recorded for Motown), heavyweight singer Marvin Lee Aday teamed with mad-visionary songwriter Jim Steinman and producer Todd Rundgren for one of the most spectacular expressions of teen angst ever recorded. The ballad "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" was the disc's Top 40 breakthrough, but it's full-throttle narrative extravaganzas like "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" that pushed this one all the way over the top — and we do mean over the top. Fourteen-times platinum, Bat has more than proved its status as a crowd pleaser; it spawned a multi-platinum sequel in the early '90s.

make like a bat out of hell and get this

this cd is awesome, simply the best by meat loaf. i personally am a metal fan. but the vocals and all around music brought me into listen to them. i just wish there were more bands like this. the best songs on hnere are probly bat out of hell, you took the words right out of my mouth (hot summer night), heaven can wait, two out of three ain't bad, and paradise by the dashboard light. what a cd, what a band, what a classic.

One of my FAVORITE albums!

If you love rocking out, but at the same time want a singable melody and some emotional songs, Bat Out of Hell is the perfect album. Beginning with almost 2 minutes of insane guitar and ending with a heartbreaking piano ballad, it's filled with great songs (all at least 4 minutes long). My favorite songs would most likely be Bat Out of Hell, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, and For Crying Out Loud (the sample 30 sec. for this song doesn't do it justice- it's extremely powerful and amazing). While I haven't listened to the two new live songs at the end, I would recommend buying the first 7 songs individually, paying only $6.93 instead of the asking price of almost $12.

A Must Have for any True Rock collection!

First off it was produced by Todd Rundgren based on a percentage deal that made him a pile of Money.Then you have the intro that is incredible, then you have tunes with humor and meaning like You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth & Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Slow balads: Heaven Can Wait, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad and For Crying Out Loud. Meat Loaf and Jim Steiman work togather like a glove on the lyrics and music. This is, I feel the best of the three Bat Out Of Hell CD's, but you must have all three to see the progression in the music and the man! Own this Music!

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...
