*ahem*
First of all, I am one of those irritating music nerds who feels perfectly comfortable comparing tow 'different' pieces of work. The Teletubbies single and The Beatles 'Love Me Do' are both incredibly different. Which one's better?
As for Bat Out Of Hell being the best album ever. It's quite probably not. Nor is CHIB.
Bat Out Of Hell is a fantastically cohenrent piece of music with a unifying theme. As is BAT II, whcih I happen to prefer.
CHSIB is (please don't kill me) just plain old rock by numbers. I don't feel anything going on apart from the vocals. Those vocals are the only thing breathing life into that record.
But erm, apples and oranges I guess.
