Masculine is saved IMO by the excellent live version on the 'Objects' single. The album version is OK, but the live version, I think, is quality. I think it's really cool how Meat took a song that was relatively unheard of and, let's be honest, probably not universally like, and completely changed it; basically making it awesome.
"If you're looking for love... ohhhhhh you've come to the right place."
My two least favourite songs are "Priscilla" and "You Never Can Be Too Sure...". Both very eighties and just not Meat Loaf! Rest of this album is OK, with a few gems.
I didn't like Martha at first, but it grew on me. It's odd because most Meat songs are about youth etc, whereas this was completely the opposite. That was the point of the album though, was'nt it? The progression from young to old?
I like 'Because of You'. There aren't many more romantic lines than; "Life is beautiful because of you."
