Free Music Notes for Bat out of Hell
Free Music Review: Bat out of Hell...still love it after all these years!
Hit: 5 Stars
I first got hooked on this album when I was barely a teenager and could listen to it over and over. Now 30 yrs later I still occasionally enjoy listening to it. I no longer listen to rock music as I didn't care for the path it took over the years and pretty well only listen to country music now a days but Bat out of Hell has a timeless quality about it that I think I will still enjoy it in another 30 yrs. It is a great album in my opinion.Free Music Review: Awesome

It begins... Bat out of hell! The glorious pounding of the piano begins, it builds! A breezy guitar line and airous drums only put in the freedom of being a bat out of hell. Cruising down the highway on your Harley!
That my friends, is the greatest 2 minutes of this album!
Eh, who am I kidding? This whole album, from beginning to end, is a boring, overwrought, cheesy, shallow piece of _____. Yes, it is quite like the emotions of being young (believe me, I know what this album is trying to say), but it doesn't help that this album tries to take itself waaaaay to seriously. He didn't even write the songs. Jim Steinman wrote them. If Jim's name would have been on here instead of Meatloaf's, maybe this album would have gotten my understanding or at least the respect that he's actually expressing himself (even if it's total _____).
So that alone is bad. It's Jim thoughts, so people would think it's the work of him, even though he didn't sing them. Depeche Mode's Martin Gore and Dave Gahan work together fine because it's simply not labeled Dave Gahan.
Even if you don't factor in the horrid lyrics and the whole damn reason why it was made, the music is boring, and Meatloaf is one of the worst singers I've ever heard. If the music had any chance of living, Meatloaf would kill it anyway. It is one of the most boring voices period. The only thing that has saved him from falling into another reject is his supposedly super trained voice. Well, ________ that. If he can't use that training to make something memorable, then you don't have talent. Technical or trained techniques are only good if they are used to make something memorable. I'm not affected at all. Whatever skills he possesses, it certainly doesn't work on me. So he fails as a singer, no matter what.
If you like this album, then you can enjoy it all. But for me, it's just a poor excuse for love ballads and rockers that don't have any energy at all. I'm going to listen to Big Star now. Bye.

Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album in 1977 when I was eleven years old and it blew me away; I loved the Beatles at the time, but this was the first individual album that I went nuts over. I bought the original CD when it was released and then the remastered version recently. There's not much I can say about the content of the CD that hasn't yet been said here other than its having aged extremely well.
