Music reviews of Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell (Deluxe Edition)
Music Review: Raving Rock and Roll
Rating: 4 Stars
I can't speak to how the tracks match up to tracks on previous releases. Go read other reviews for that. I can only speak for the songs and Meatloaf and say they are top notch. If you already have this album/CD, then there probably is no reason to buy it again hoping for improvements. But if you don't have it - and you like Meatloaf - then you won't be disappointed. And if you EVER get a chance to see him in concert, stay up all night if necessary with your fingertips on the keyboard to book tickets as soon as they go on sale. He is a DYNAMITE performer.
Description of Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell (Deluxe Edition)
At a certain point, bad taste and bombast become so excessive and so grandiose that they're no longer an easily dismissed irritation but an astonishing monument to warped imagination. Such a monument is Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell, the long-delayed sequel to 1977's Bat out of Hell. Once again songwriter-producer Jim Steinman has isolated high-school parking-lot aphorisms and inflated them to Wagner-on-Broadway proportions, casting Mr. Loaf as a heavy-metal Ezio Pinza. Typical of the album's strategy is its big hit single, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Steinman piles on the guitars, drums, synthesizers, and choral voices as if he were Phil Spector producing Kiss playing the Who songbook. The rest of the album tackles the themes of teenage lust, frustration, and rock & roll fantasies in similar fashion. It's somehow beside the point to complain about the puerile lyrics, the leaden rhythms, the derivative melodies, the histrionic vocals, or the overblown arrangements. Steinman knows how to push his audience's buttons, and with Meat Loaf's help, he hits those buttons with a sledgehammer. --Geoffrey HimesGeneral CDs
