For me it's about power and technique. The old version of SITS (Stand in the storm for those new here or acronym deficient like myself) was my favorite, as is the old version of Prize Fight Lover.
Meat sang the older versions with power and like Meat Loaf.
The new versions are in 'new incarnation Meat Loaf' mode with the slidey vocals the seem to droop down to no sound, and then blast out a yell, and I just find that, while it does show more emotion, it doesn't hook me, but rather distracts me from the song. And actually, turns me off from listening entirely.
Also agreed about the chopping up of words on this version and mashing them, it just sounds weird.
