The article represents an eccentric point of view, to be sure. Not quite sure what the rationale was for rating BTWA so lowly, and yet HCTB so highly, for instance. And if you're going to include 'Stoney and Meat Loaf', then you might as well thrown in 'Free For All', too ... I have no objection to a good rant when it is well thought-out, but this could have done with a re-draft or two ... I would also mention my general agreement with the assessment of BBIS, but I best not go into that, lest I upset Wario ... :-)

I get the old thing on Bat...sometimes i just want more depth that wasn't around in 70s recordings... and Dead Ringer's production again lacked depth for me but Bat 2 is timeless to my ears. Jim's production on it makes it impossible to tie it down to a time period whereas you can tell the others were from the decades they were.

And i love the live versions as well :-)

tuesday random boring fact... that advert was broadcast on ch4, in the adverts just before Meat Loaf, live in the neighbourhood was broadcast :-P

Actually, you know what? Age really has nothing to do with that. I don't even know why I said that.

I listen to Orgasmatron (Motorhead) and the original album "Black Sabbath" just fine, in fact I'll put the entire catalog of Dio, Rainbow, Sabbath or Motorhead on and I enjoy different aspects of both the newer and older stuff.

I fell in love with Meat after hearing CHISB and MSO...That is my first impression of all of those songs.

So what it comes down to is that I honestly don't think I have given Bat 1 and Bat 2 much of a chance on their own. (Similar to what some are doing with Braver Than We Are).

I've got to do that one day. Just try to erase all of the other versions I "grew up on" and try the originals.

It's hard with Meat though...Harder for me than it was to open up to older Motorhead or Sabbath...

Reminds me of Star Trek. I worked my way back to watching as old as TNG, but I can't watch the TOS...It bothers me. Some things just don't age well, like the original Doctor Who series. I just can't watch it...I think sometimes you just have to grow up with it to still want to watch it. I grew up with my dad watching TNG...I can't say that that's my issue with Bat 1 or Bat 2 though. They have aged well. They're kind of timeless.

There's just a blocker there. I'd love to investigate further one day. I probably will.

'Young people ...' :-P You just listed all the things I like the most.

This site gave Braver than we are 4/5 stars. So if 4/5 stars is the worse album just image how many stars Bat out of Hell must get LOL

Yeah something's just not right.

Conspiracy theories - GO.

This article is a :shit:
The writer don't know everything about the Meat albums. :evil: If he knows, then the article should be much, much, much more positive.

Very short inaccurate descriptions for a few albums. He probably didn't listen to.

BBIS that low is an insult. As is CHSIB.

Miss the point.... totally. Ridiculous!
:mad:

What a crock
