I don't think it is an age thing, if that helps. I'm 27
To me, Bat Out Of Hell means Meat and Jim (yes, I know Todd Rundgren produces Bat I)... it means love, lust, sex, hard times, parties, depression, elation, a journey through times and places and situations, from extreme to extreme.... TMIL is a great album, no doubt about it. Doesn't fit my Bat criteria though. A great album nonetheless.
