Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell from 1977 is completely over the top in the best possible way, with huge songs, dramatic vocals and Jim Steinman writing as if every track should be a finale. “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” and the title track are the big ones, but the whole album works because it commits fully to the drama. Loud, theatrical and impossible to mistake for anything else, this is one of those records that simply goes for it.
