Trackers:

Overwrought and undeniable, Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell remains both

one of rock's biggest--and least likely--hit albums. The byproduct of

a partnership between beefy singer Marvin Lee "Meat Loaf" Aday and

fellow journeyman/National Lampoon Road Show cast member Jim Steinman,

Bat out of Hell met 1977's vaunted Year of Punk with a blast of

neo-operatic, Wagnerian-scaled bombast (based on Peter Pan, no less)

that was as reactionary as anything the spiked set and their supporters

could possibly imagine--13 million units worth, and counting. Bat seems

to have thrived on the same formula that's made Andrew Lloyd Webber a

multimillionaire knight: if you do kitsch, do it big. And what could be

more kitschy and emblematic of the '70s than the ubiquitous "classic rock"

(an overused adjective that applies all too well here) of "Two out of

Three Ain't Bad" or the breathless nookie-quest, "Paradise by the

Dashboard Light," replete with Phil Rizzuto calling the play-by-play? This

digitally remastered edition also includes '78-vintage bonus live cuts of

"Bolero" (the live show's equally over-the-top opener) and "Bat out of

Hell" that showcase the production's energetic, perfectionist bent. The

sonic upgrading here also underscores the oft-overlooked efforts of

producer Todd Rundgren. --Jerry McCulley (courtesy of amazon.com)
