Not as good as Bat II but still not all bad

Review Score: (6/10)
Let's face it, Jim Steinman is the main driving force behind Meat Loaf. Jim Steinman+Meat Loaf=unstoppable. Jim Steinman-Meatloaf=still doing good. Meat Loaf-JimSteinman=average to mediocre. Without Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf flat out looses a great chunk of the intensity he has while working with Steinman. Surprizingly, Original Sin, one of the few Steinman songs on here, was one of the bigger dissapointments. He didn't have anywhere near the energy of Pandora's Box or even Taylor Dayne while doing this song. That in no way means the album was all bad. I'd Lie For You in particular is just as good as many of Meat's other songs. Where The Rubber Meets the Road, Runnin For the Red Light and Not a Dry Eye are all very well done and worth the album cost in themselves. Other songs: Left in the Dark (another Steinman dissapointment), Martha (ugh), and Where Angels Sing are better off skipped. It's an over all mediocre album with a bare minimum of good songs to actually make it worth picking up.
