Maybe I don't, but I am not demanding anything amazingly witty. My own lyrics are probably nothing to write home about either but some of the things on HCTB are just beyond acceptable imo. I was very happy with the quality and ideas on WTTN and CHSIB and Bat 3, thus proving I don't demand Steinman to be behind every song. Meat's got a good enough voice to make even flat ideas sound good. I definitely think though Meat has hit a low with these songs lyrics and I know some less hardcore Meat Loaf enthusiasts who think exactly the same way. HCTB definitely divided fans and I am certainly on the side of not liking it. This is not to say Meat's voice or the production were bad. These were beyond amazing imo but overall the songs simply sucked hence my extremely low ratings for most of these. The voice manipulation I also don't get. As we have discussed before Meat would have had to have sung these songs quite decently for him to sound THAT good.
