Another Jim Steinman classic.
Lyrically,you can compare Read 'em And Weep to For Crying Out Loud.
As I said on that forum,F.C.O.L. lists all the ways the singer loves his girl.The last chorus of Read 'em And Weep lists all the conceqences of a break up. Jim can put into one song what most other song writers coudn't put into ten albums.
White Of High said that there needed to be more pain.

I think Meat translates this song perfectly.Not that you need to,but have you seen the video?I'm sure that the crew hammerd red hot nails into his kneecaps before filming because sometimes he looks in physical pain.

The only music I listen to anymore is Meat Loaf (not very good for an all round musical review I know,but i'm beyond caring

)but even by Meat's standards this song is still worth at least a.....
9/10 Listen And Weep
