I bought this CD for my husband as it was one of his favorite "albums" when he was younger. He listens to it while commuting to or from work and tells me it helps to make the drive much more tolerable! This CD is one of the classics (if you are a Meatloaf fan.)

All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
There is no other album like Bat Out of Hell, unless you want to count the sequel. This is Grand Guignol pop -- epic, gothic, operatic, and silly, and it's appealing because of all of this. Jim Steinman was a composer without peer, simply because nobody else wanted to make mini-epics like this. And there never could have been a singer more suited for his compositions than Meat Loaf, a singer partial to bombast, albeit shaded bombast. The compositions are staggeringly ridiculous, yet Meat Loaf finds the emotional core in each song, bringing true heartbreak to "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" and sly humor to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." There's no discounting ...
