In The Land Of The Pig, The Butcher Is King (9)
I think this is the best real song on Bat Out Of Hell 3. When I heard at first time by Paul Crook, I didn't understand what happened with Jim Steinman (particulary after If It Ain't Broke). It not a sophisticated song, but it's really hevy. Heavier than Life Is A Lemon. Meat's voice is okay but I think if he wants to sing the original orchestra version (what is download from net by Rob Evan) he could not do that. It's strange thing, because normally I'd prefer the big orchestra, but I don't feel the power in Rob's version. The guitars are heavy, that's great... that would be better with a louder symphonic background but I write it on Desmond's count. It's a good angry, political song... I really like it.
My score: 9
