Meat Loaf has come out with some great albums in his time, but it has to be said that this isn't one of them. The album is listenable to, but that is about as far as it goes. It lacks Jim Steinman's input (who brought use some of the great Meat Loaf songs like Bat Out of Hell), but strangely enough the only two songs by him are two of the worst on the album.
A couple of the singles are quite good - 'Where the Rubber Meets the Road' and 'I'd Lie for You', but the others shouldn't be given house room. There are also a couple of songs that weren't released as singles which are pretty good, namely 'Amnesty is Granted' and the two ballads at the end - 'Martha' and 'Where Angels Sing'.
My Advice would be listen to it (if you can borrow it from the library or a friend or something), as it is worth listening to a couple of times, but don't go out and buy it unless you are an avid unshakable Meat Loaf fan - you will be dissapointed. Get one of his better albums, like Bat Out of Hell I/II, Bad Attitude or Dead Ringer.
