What should 'Brave & Crazy' sound like?
 

In the last few days most of the fans were talking about his/her expectation of Brave & Crazy. I'm with the Steinman style but I'm just curious what should Brave & Crazy (or any new Meat album) sound like. So, vote!

I hope it follows the vein of the last two albums

It should sound like whatever Meat decides it should sound like

This topic is not about what Meat wants, it's about what fans want. ;)

I was going to say that...(though I didn't want to be picky as your info says you're from Budapest rather than the UK ;) ) big difference between what it "should" sound like and what we hope it will sound like. I'm thinking it's probably the second one!

I don't know what to pick based on that list! :lol:

I'd imagine it'll be closer to HCTB and HIAHB as that's what he's doing in this era, but who knows...he might suprise us all, might be something completely different that none of us will guess!

What kind of style you want? - is it clearer? ;)

I think the wording of your poll options betrays your own preferences and disappointment in his newer work ;) I wouldn't call HIAH "light" at all.

I think Meat found his musical style, the one he's been working towards, with his last two albums, and for me, in 2012/3, this is what I hope to hear more of. I love the "live" sound that Paul creates for us, and would expect Meat will move his style on creatively. This is also what I would like. I don't want him to go back, but keep moving forward, and I love the current blend of heavy guitar and Justin's brilliant piano. I opted for HIAH because there wasn't one that said "Keep moving forward, and surprise and delight me"

I can't decide what to vote for... I have high expectations about Brave and crazy and I know it will be another GREAT album !!!! :D

I don't call HCTB light either. But I call HIAHB light. It's not my preferences. HIAHB was one of his lightest album with soft ballads and easy rock songs. rap is rap, I wasn't pejorative. I was pejorative with Desmond Child like almost everybody here. ;)

You say you have expectation. What's that?

That's what I said .. it's your preference; you consider HIAH "light". Some don't. I think there is incredible depth in the songs, and the music isn't what I'd ever describe as "light"; it just isn't like Steinman. And my choice would be to keep moving forward based on the style that emerged in his last two albums.

... or backwards depending on your opinion. I'd like it to be more like Steinman, in fact by Steinman, they need to collaborate now !

OK .... moving ahead and exploring new avenues .. walking into the future .. experimenting with new and different sounds and styles, rather than returning to the style he started out with and pursued in the 90s.

You may well consider that a retrograde step in terms of meeting your wishes .. but it's not moving back, it's pursiung something new ..

I'm sure Meat and Jim will never collaborate again and I'd be surprised if Meat recorded any Steinman song on the new album but... Meat is 65 years old and most of his fans became his fans because of Bat and heavy Steinman songs.

Meat is not young. I think he doesn't need to change the world so I don't undertand his future searching. He has fans and they are a little bit older and more old-fashioned than Justin Bieber's fans so I'm with people who want to see more Steinman songs. It will not happen because Meat wants to be young and maybe a little be scared to get back his succesful style...

Yes its moving on, or in a different direction - and if Jim is not up for it then he has no choice - but Meat is better with Jim and vice versa. Meat + Jim is where it all started, why we're all here, and why we continue to be here ...

It's called creative and artistic drive .. as Meat recently said when asked what his greatest accomplishment is to date “I haven’t had it yet, still working on it. When you can answer that question, it’s time to quit.” and "I look at (my work) artistically, because I have a lot to say"

The best Meat Loaf albums sound big - really BIG, DECADENT and EXTRAVAGANT!

Needs songs that can justify that though. That's where many of the songs on TMIL fell short IMHO.

Meat and Jim together would be brilliant... Also loved Bad Attitude too, Paul and Sarah great writers :)

Time will tell...:D woop! woop!

Steinman sound. needs what part of my body.

I wouldn't mind a mix of Steinman, Rick Brantely and James Michael. I reckon that'd make for a pretty awesome album :D

If it's the Steinman sound, the part of the body part that it needs is below the waist. In my faded levis.

:D

Whilst Jim Stienman may have written the songs that first made me notice Meat, my continued presence here has nothing to do with Jim Stienman, I'm here because I'm interested in and like Meat.

I buy a Meat Loaf album to hear Meat Loaf, it doesn't worry me who else is involved, be it Rob Cavallo, Jack Black or even Jim Stienman. I have enjoyed the albums that Meat has released without Jim, just as much as I have enjoyed any of the others and if you asked me what my favourite album was, it would be HIAH.

I trust Meat to release an album that I will enjoy and so far he hasn't disappointed and I continue to have every faith that will continue into the future.

A mix of Bad attitude and HCTB would please me the most but I'm open to anything music wise :D

I think it should sound however the heck Meat & co want it to sound ;)
