Advantages: 2 discs with all your favourites

Disadvantages: One of many 'greatest hits' albums by 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 Come Through, Modern Girl, Objects in the Rear View Mirror, I'd Do Anything for Love.
I would recommend this album for any Meat Loaf fan but if you only intend buying one Meat Loaf album then I would recommend this over the rest. He has a lot of great songs which arn't on this album namely Good Girls go to Heaven, More than you Deserve, Out of the Frying Pan and many others, however as a first Meat Loaf album purchase I was completely satisfied.

I adore Meat Loaf and his music, have all his albums and go to all his UK concerts. I bought this album about 7 years ago and still listen to it regularly so if you fancy it, go for it and enjoy.
