CD Description
The '80s didn't start out easy for the previous decade's rock sensation Meat Loaf. Coming off his 1978 tour de force BAT OUT OF HELL, Meat Loaf experienced problems both personally (his throat would mysteriously act up, affecting his voice) and professionally (constant battling with his songwriter Jim Steinman, and filing for bankruptcy due to numerous lawsuits). Still, 1981's DEAD RINGER showed that Meat Loaf stillhad what it took to pull of another solid slice of theatrical rock, even though it was tough finding a stateside audience for his music in the fickle, fashion-conscious '80s. Thiswasn't the case in Europe, where Meat Loaf was still a major concert attraction and chart force, and where his third release, 1983's MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST AND FOUND, performed respectfully on the U.K. album charts. Meat Loaf did without BATproducer Todd Rundgren on DEAD RINGER, but he still had Steinman on board. With MIDNIGHT, though, Steinman had bailed out as well, leaving Meat Loaf to fend for himself. Still, such selections as the title track and "The Promised Land" showed that the classic Meat Loaf sound remained intact.

Customer Reviews

Is This Meat Loaf?
Midnight At The Lost And Found, Meat's 3rd album and without Jim Steinman writing the songs.
The rock opera sound and heavy guitars from Bat Out Of Hell and Dead Ringer are gone and enter all the 80's keyboards and country guitars and a little distortion.
The album will go down in my history as Meat's worst effort, it's not bad but it's not meat loaf.
Highlights are Razor's Edge, Midnight At The Lost and Found (the only song he sings live of this album in the last 20 years)and If Your Really Want To, which were all singles of this album.
If you ever get your hands on Hits Out Of Hell DVD or video the videos to the above tracks are quite funny cause they are very tacky.
Only other highlight is the promised land, a good country jam, the rest listen with caution, titles like Wolf At Your Door, well.
A disapointed but for the price, it's worth a listen cause it's Meat Loaf as you never heard him before.

Classic, if slightly different, Loaf
Finally got this CD after losing my cassette tape over seven years ago. Very different from Bat, Dead Ringer etc., and much less 'epic' in stature, but still a good album.
Highlights include 'Promised Land' and the title track.
Not one of his most memorable albums, but something a bit out of the ordinary and of interest to die-hard Loafers.

Fast Rock as it should be
This album was a bit of a suprise for me, I found it to have a much faster tempo than the more common MeatLoaf albums. My favourites have to be 'Razor's Edge' and 'Keep Driving' mainly because they are catchy. 'Midnight at the Lost& Found' has to be classed my least favourite song as it's just too jerky and not what I have come to love and expect off of Meat. From song six the album does slow down and settles into the pace of the slower rock love songs style that Meat is well known for.
