Nothing anyone says will change my opinion on Steinman and I refuse to be dictated to about how I should feel about the increase in his contribution to this album.
But it's okay to dismiss the other songwwriters by calling their songs 'fillers' before we know anything of THEIR contributions? I think that's a bit of a double standard.

I think to dismiss any songwriter is very disrespectful. Anyone that can get a song on a Meat Loaf album deserves all the respect in the world.
Meat is the one picking the songs and he clearly is leaning towards Steinman songs. Doesn't mean the other writers weren't up to par but as Meat has said he wants to work with Jim again and now he is.
