Need Your help!
Think about buying BBIS but don´t know if it´s worth the cost. The only song that I know from is Getting away with murder it´s good, but not great. How are the other songs?
At the amazon Z-Shop is only one copy, should i buy it?

I don't really think so, unless you want it so you can have a complete Meat Loaf collection. Bad Attitude and MATLAF are albums with much better songs in my opinion.

If you're a ML fan - you do have to have this album. Although it is considered one of the worst ones - I actually like it a lot. It's better to make up your own mind. I actually like it much better than Midnight At The Lost And Found.

Monday morning tidy up ... moving to TT&BH forum.

BTW ... I'd say buy it, but then again I'm a completeist

AndrewG · 24 Apr 2006, 12:49

Yeah I think the songs are really not that bad at all. I like "Execution Day", "BFIS", "Night of the Soft Parade" and "Rock and Roll Hero". I prefer this album over MATLAF I think. Like Andy, I'm a completist too so if anyone asks me should I buy this particular Meat Loaf album I'll always say yes as I've got all of them.

Benny · 24 Apr 2006, 17:53

Buy it, it's a really great album

Caelan · 24 Apr 2006, 18:12

Me too...both on good album and the song. I am actually surprised that he has made a video out of Getting Away With Murder. I personally think that video is absolutely brilliant but song is...not the best on the album? Is it just me?

ChloeLee88 · 25 Apr 2006, 01:45

Hmmm...yeah, the song isnt bad....but i think there is better on the album.

I am listening to album right now - I think it's a great album. I mean...this ain't Steinman...it ain't neverending ballads...but, boy, does it rock....

rockfenris2005 · 25 Apr 2006, 10:29

It's rubbish, IMO.

You know what I find amusing?

That when I respond to your little personal attacks they are promptly removed by the (generous) moderators of this forum.

Meanwhile you're offensive and, perhaps even, frightening assessment of Mr. Steinman @ The Dream Engine remains. I am terrified of people like you

*AndyK* · 26 Apr 2006, 12:14

Right!

You two, stop it now! Public warning for the pair of you to quit the bickering!

No more.

Comprende?

Pudding · 26 Apr 2006, 12:14

The album doesn't do much for me

Pud

rockfenris2005 · 26 Apr 2006, 12:15

I did not start the bickering. If people make personal attacks toward me I will not be civil and kind. I will respond and not let them get away with hurting me

I apologize for that.

*AndyK* · 26 Apr 2006, 12:20

If you feel you're being attacked personally, then there is a route for dealing with it, a pointless public slanging match does nothing for the discussion.

End of story

Now, back to the topic. IMO it's the weakest of Meat's offerings, some good songs spoiled by the much publiscised production of Frank Farian ... having said that I still like it far more than much else that is offered in the record stores by other artists!

mikeloaf · 27 Apr 2006, 01:00

I have BBIS. I like it, the title track itself is good and most of the other tracks are good to listen to aswell. I think it's important to remember that 1977 and 1986 were very different music wise. I've looked on amazon and virgin etc. these albums are £ 10 or less. If you love it great, if you don't so what?
I brought it in 1994 I listen to it every so often and skip the tracks I don't like, simple!

Back to the subject...R., did you buy the album? I can't wait to hear what you think of it!!!

**RadioMaster** · 27 Apr 2006, 14:59

Not yet, i´d like to buy it with some other meat albums that i haven´t got, together. Surching still for good offers of dead ringer, bat attitude, live around the world, etc.
When I bought it, i will let you know

I had most of the old albums on tapes so now I am replacing them with CD's.

1. Dead Ringer I had no problem getting from Amazon merchant really inexpensive.
2. Bad Attitude - having bad problems with receiving it - whatever you do - don't buy it from Amazon. They promised me February delivery, now it's postponed until June. They are shipping Heaven and Hell separately at least so I will have that earlier.
3. Live Around The World I bought when it first came out - 2 CD's great album - has some songs that I've never heard before like What you see is what you get. And I also love Whatever Happened to Saturday Night on this album which I don't think was released before on the record.

Good luck shopping!!!
