In light of the other recent thread, I figured Id take a look at each album, and note the weird ass logic of the record company.

Bat Out of Hell (1997): All singles were logical and sucessful, good job record company!

Bat Out of Hell
Took The Words
Two Out of THree
Paradise

Dead Ringer (1981): The title track was a success and the album surpassed 1 million units. Fantastic single choices, tho none charted well besides DRFL. Great job record company!

Im Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
Readem and Weep
Dead Ringer
Readem and Weep
Peel Out

Midnight (1983): The record company again release the three most logical song choices. Three of the best songs on the album sands Wolf At Your Door (which wouldve been honestly a better single then if you Really Want to). But OK job record company.

Razor's Edge
Midnight
If You Really Want To

Bad Attitude (1984): Again logical logical choices, all of which I wouldve released. Wish they charted better, especially piece of the Action. That shouldve been an 80's anthem!

Modern Girl
Nowhere Fast
Surfs Up
Piece of the Action
Sailor to a Siren

Blind before I Stop (1986): this is where Im perplexed. RnR Mercenaries was a good lead of but... Getting Away With Murder? Really? Special Girl? Really? Say what you will about Masculine, it wouldve been a far better single and its cheesy and catchy. It may have been a sleeper hit! I still think with it being in the set longer then the rest of the songs, Masculine was Meat's first choice in single.

Rock & Roll Mercenaries
Getting Away With Murder
Blind before I Stop
Special Girl

Bat 2 (1993) and WTTN (1995): A sweep of utterly INGENIOUS single releases, all of which were logical and charted successfully except Redlight. nothing more needs to be said. Great Great great job MCA. You were the best for Meat.

AFL
Lemon
RRD
Objects
Lie For You
Not A Dry Eye
Redlight

CHSIB (2003): Logical song choices until Man Of Steel. Why Not Testify. That makes no sense! DIST was an amazing amazing single choice, I wish it gained more of a following

CHSIB
DIST
Man Of Steel

Bat 3 (2006): Ugh.... This was a disaster. IACBTMN was a good lead off but... CRY OVER ME? Come On! If they released Blind as a Bat, then Break It it wouldve been so much more successful. or ho about an edited down FUTURE. Jennifer Hutchison was HUGE in 2006! where was the logic?!

IACBTMN
Cry Over Me

HCTB (2010): This suffered from teh record company F'ing over the Los Angeloser release. THEN releasing IF I CANT HAVE YOu and PEACE ONE ARTH. WHY. If It Rains would have been HUGE and LA had a fun catchy video! Logic was not with them.

Los Angeloser (Kinda)
Peace on Earth
If i Cant have You

HIAHB (2012): No comment. this was just awful. i have no words. WHy All of me? Why... The Giving Tree was on this album. THE GIVING TREE.

All of Me
