The Very Best Of Meat Loaf - Meat Loaf

I absolutely love this album. When I was younger my older cousin played Meat Loaf all the time and I loved listening to it. When I was older I heard Bat out of Hell on the radio and was reminded of its brilliance. As soon as I heard it, I went on the hunt for a Meat Loaf greatest hits album in the hope that after hearing it I would still enjoy it the way I did when I was younger. I came across the Very Best of Meat Loaf and bought it as it seemed to be of good value for money with having 2 discs and more of the classic Meat Loaf songs than any other Meat Loaf album, songs including Bat out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Rock and Roll Dreams ...  Read the complete review

I've been a fan of Meatloaf since the eighties, I worked in a photo lab and we always had Meatloaf or something similar playing in the background, usually the Hits Out Of Hell album and we used to get lots of comments on how much better our background music was compared to other places. I bought this album after developing a nostalgic craving for some of the music I used to listen to and this one seemed to contain many of the songs I used to love. I bought it on ebay for £4.99 including p&p so it was a bargain! The album contains 2 CDs and the tracks are as follows: Disc One 1.Home By Now/No Matter What 2. Life Is A Lemon And I ...  Read the complete review

It is over 20 years since Meat Loaf burst onto the scene with the album Bat out of Hell. This was an album which set new standards in rock production and in doing so defined a whole new rock music genre. Meat Loafs gothic grand rock style was built on the extraordinary song-writing and production talents of Jim Steinman. Meat Loafs appeal was wide and fans closer to the heavy metal scene mingled with lovers of strong ballads in the queues at the music store and they bought the album in millions. In addition to the song Bat out of Hell songs like Heaven Can Wait' ,Paradise by the Dashboard Light' and the powerful You took the Words Right Out of my Mouth' ...  Read the complete review
