I agree completely. Fanastic album. Every song is catchy and has to be one of the 10 best 70's albums.

Meat Loaf was paid a fortune to perform at the AFL grand final last year.... was awful, apart from the final siren the worst part of the day
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

Some will dismiss it as cheesy and over the top, but there's hardly ever been a better written and arranged album. The title track is particularly badass. Todd Rungren does the motorcycle better than Mick Mars ever tried too.

Love the album and it always puts me in a great mood.

Love it...I've been able to recite word-for-word the play-by-play in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" since I was 14

I still laugh very hard when I think of the story that jimed14 told about when he and his friend ran in to Meat Loaf in Vegas and asked him what "that" was that he wouldn't do for love.

The song really is awesome though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbQLB0q3hts
