Well I'm going to chip in my five cents worth and say that I LOVED the Bat 3 version and it was right up there in my top 3 on that particular album.
I dispute the "lack of Steinman feel" about Bat 2 as well. that album was and will always remain a masterclass in sheer musical perfection. That album holds very very special meaning to me and I could listen to it daily without ever getting tired of it. For me, that album was like the Sun and the Moon coming into perfect alignment and as much as I have enjoyed Meat's other albums over the years, Bat 2 remains my all time favourite.
