That's your opinion and I respect that. I disagree... but we'll move on.

You have limited Steinman-esque qualities in the album. It COULD have been a hell of a lot better. But saying it's a fanastic sounding album is going way over the top, it's a good album. If it was fantastic it would have been a success, and it did poorly in the end. Also listen to the songs left in the dark, surfs up, out of the frying pan, rock & roll dreams that were recorded again on different albums.. it makes the quality of the BFG one seem very poor. Yet again that's my opinion.

Exactly which makes me wonder why such a thing DID happen on BFG. That's why I think Jim's heart wasn't in the right place around that period.
