| 3.5 great | manosg EMERITUS | January 22nd 22 |
Very rarely a sequel is as good as the original, but this is one of the rare cases. Bat Out of Hell II is bombastic, theatrical, cheesy and as fun as it gets.

Honestly... it's quite good. There are some tracks that are just, lacking, but generally there is more than enough to like here. The Jim Steinman-isms are pouring out of every hole. I love that, but it is not for everyone.

The most beautiful album that rock and roll ever had to offer.

The songs are far too long and overblown. Also some of these songs, in all there 12-minute long glory, have lyrics which make absolutely no sense.

The first song, "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is very long. It is a good song but could have been shorter. This is a good rock album but dosn't live up to Meat Loaf potential. Sequels normally are never as good as the first.

The original Bat Out Of Hell is a great album. It's epic and strong. The songs never seem to get old and are catchy and well written. After several listens, I decided that the sequel couldnt be that bad, so I bought it. On my first listen, the intro got me pumped up. The piano started playing and the guitar kicked in and the drums and I thought I was in for another great album. I started to doubt the album at about 5:40 when the synth choir came in, and by the time of the duet, I was ready for the next song. The rest of the album seemed cheesy and incomplete. It seems that Meat Loaf tried too hard to make the songs catchy and ended up making them mediocre. By the beginning of the first song, I just turned the album off.
So why a 2? Well, I would do anything for love saved this album, and Meat Loaf's Singing is good. The lyrics are pretty well written, even if their cliche. Definetly not as good as the first.
Im discouraged to listen to the III now.
