RJ, although I understand perfectly what you're saying, in my opinion, although most songwriters who can sing write songs for their voices, Jim never really wrote songs completely suitable to his voice.
All his songs are grandiose and, therefore, require "big" voices - Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler to name just a few for them to sound right.
This, of course, is my opinion why people would, in fact, compare, BFG with ML albums and some - like me - will find BFG lacking.
But even without any comparison, I would have found BFG extremely weak record performance wise while chock full of great songs.
