HCTB because the overall atmosphere surrounding the album is better.
Bat III wasn't what I expected, Steinman wasn't directly involved and contributed only a handful of (old) songs, too much focusing on Desmond & Co., it didn't appear like a real Meat Loaf album to me and it's certainly not what a Bat album is supposed to be. I had an unpleasant feeling once I saw the IACBTM video, I disliked the promo, was disappointed by the second single and depressed by the way the tour went. That has somehow spoilt the album for me, in spite of some pretty good songs. With regard to HCTB it's only Patrick that gives me stomach ache.
