It still dogged his career. I mean if Bat Out Of Hell didn't have Bat Out Of Hell in it I think it would've done just as well on Paradise by the dashboard lights alone but lets face it, it created a need for Meat and Jim to top it and it caused their works to suffer. If they were just building up to it, the other works would have gotten better instead of varrying in both production and execution. And I think Bat Out Of Hell would've sounded ALOT better on Bat 3.
