I won't say that topping Bat is impossible, because I don't know what the future will bring. Maybe some people think Bat 2 is better. Maybe some people will Bat 3 will be better. Maybe some day another songwriter will come along that might be better than Jim. Some will say that's impossible, but how do you know the future? How do you know what else is out there that you haven't heard? I don't know every other songwriter or album in the world that exists so I can't really say that it is the best album. But I'm not really interested in making comparisons. I don't find that an interesting topic, so I wouldn't go into that subject anyway, at least not often.

Personally I wouldn't say that Do It is the wrong song for Meat. I would say that we don't really know Meat as well as we could if we didn't expect him to do such a song. I don't think of it in terms of the rhythm or style (almost rap-like), but that it is different (refreshing), and a good message...DO IT!!! Listening to him performing that song reminds me of him doing the last minute of All Revved Up in Storytellers. It shows that classic, virtually limitless Meat Loaf energy.
