Product 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

Different and great
I felt I have to write a review myself after having read many of the reviews here. I'll say straightaway that I absolutely love this album. Yeah sure, it's different from Dead Ringer and Bat Out Of Hell but I have great memories in connection with this album. I don't think that anyone who really likes Meat Loaf would be disappointed by Midnight At The Lost And Found. This album is way too underrated. Come on, go for it - especially for this price!

This is the only Meat Loaf album which doesn't do it for me.
It's totally different. Nothing from Mr. Steinman (I believe they were not getting on too well) and Meat co-wrote a lot of this album. The songs are short (the album is, too) and all the bombastic theatrics of the operatic rock which set us on fire during his first two albums are no longer there. A shame.

Fantastic
I am a big Meat Loaf fAn so some might say i'm biased, but this album is fantastic and massively underrated. THis was one of the first albums Meat released without steinman songs as a feature, and i think it rocks!
Buy it! A must for every Meat Fan!!!!
