Customer Reviews
Easily One Of Rock's Greatest Albums!!
If I had to burn my rock CD collection but were aloud to keep a handful, I know that Meatloaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" would be one of albums that i'd save straight away.
This album is just pure genius and one cannon't fail to be surprised when knowing that it's still a bestseller even today, three decades after it was first released.
Awesome songs, awesome album, do yourself a favour and buy it!
Best album ever?
Definitely one of the best albums, anyway - Steinman's songs are superb, ideally capturing classical rock 'n' roll (or Wagnerian Rock, as he calls it himself). Meat never sounded better, and the instumentation is spot on.
Rock perfection.
By the way, those of you who call it overblown and pompous - it's SUPPOSED to be overblown and pompous, if you don't get that, you're missing the point.
Check out the sequels, too.
Pure rock histrionics...
This album is way over the top both musically and lyrically, but I guess that's part of the fun. Early CD versions sound rather flat but later pressings, particularly the 25 Anniversary edition are a significant improvement. I personally prefer the more stripped-down type of rock such as Alice In Chains or Nirvana, but I can see Bat out of Hell's appeal through some pretty good songs like For Crying out load and 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
