I think it is excellent - the crticism that is! Bat I was slated, and Meat Loaf was called the "worst rock band in the world". That album went on to sell the odd copy or two

.
Meat is renegade and different - to some people you just say "Meat Loaf" and they snigger. But most admit to owning at least one of his albums. And ALL know who he is - that says something, 30 years after his career started!
He's selling out arena tours 30 years on, he must be doing something right.
