Review Score:

(8/10)
This is a really great compilation of music..all the hits are here, "I Would Do Anything For Love", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", "Two Out Of Three Aint Bad", "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth"(Steinman paints the perfect picture of first love) "I'd Lie For You And That's The Truth"(surprisingly obscure considering it cracked the top 20), "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through", and "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are". There is also a minor chart entry included in "Not A Dry Eye In The House", and some classic album tracks, "Bat Out Of Hell", "Heaven Can Wait", "Dead Ringer For Love"(featuring Cher), "Midnight At The Lost And Found", and "Modern Girl". The best thing about buying this compilation is track one of the first disc, a new song penned by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Jim Steinman called "Home By Now/Now Matter What", all I can say is wow..it is simply brilliant. It could easily be one of the best songs I have ever heard. Some other things this collection has going for it are two other new tracks, and a rocking remix of "Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back". This compilation is just about perfect, I could do without the tracks from the period between the two "Bat Out Of Hell" albums, but their inclusion makes it a bit more comprehensive. With Meat's powerful voice and Steinman's witty, yet heartfelt images, how could you go wrong??
