Of course, you're absolutely correct. We'll have some country line dancing songs on one side of the album and Meat Loaf rock songs on the other side. It will work perfectly.
How FCOL ended up sounding isn't exactly "just a standard" ballad. It became a signature Steinman track with a sound that obviously wasn't there originally to begin with. This isn't just because of the absence of the orchestra. The whole pacing and singing of it definitely has a more Nashville approach than a classic Meat Loaf/Steinman one. In my opinion all this stuff reaffirms that Bat needed both Meat AND Jim to work. Meat isn't some form of X Factor vocalist stand in with Jim always having the sound and songs ready with or without it. I just don't believe it nor do I believe in crazy 27 minute Paradises nor that Paradise even would have existed without Meat.
