92. Alive

White of High · 09 Dec 2006, 14:39

This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!!

Alive (7)

It's ambivalent to me. It's a hit, but really pop. Like a typicall Desmond hit. It's not a Bat song, it's okay on WTTN or CHSIB but not on bat. That's happy, funny rockdisco... Average...

My score: 7

mszee · 09 Dec 2006, 19:00

Average for me too...like it because it's upbeat and sort of defiant...so...

Ummm...yes...same score...7/10

geordieloaf · 09 Dec 2006, 19:02

I love this song. One of the best on the album imo. Great vocals good upbeat song.
9/10

9/10

*AndyK* · 09 Dec 2006, 20:41

Couple thuis with Monstro live and you've got a great concert opener IMO, or perhaps a greast first encore song. Love it to bits 9/10

luk.out.of.hell · 09 Dec 2006, 21:07

10/10

This is the best on the album 10/10. I hope I get to hear it live! Really up beat track, great lyrics, well balanced musically. Really great.

Pudding · 10 Dec 2006, 01:32

It's a bit average for me

6.5/10

MeatGrl1 · 10 Dec 2006, 01:32

The lyrics are kick ass.
It has a very catchy and upbeat sound that just makes me want to dance.
I totally love this track.

10/10

Rockette · 10 Dec 2006, 03:00

Loving the triumphant lyrics, the tune, the works. 8/10

evil nickname · 10 Dec 2006, 12:08

Song's alright in a Bon Jovi album-filler kinda way. Don't like the all-choir take on the verse after the bridge and solo. Good enough song, but not for a Bat album.

7.5/10

Bart · 11 Dec 2006, 14:49

All these violins. Is that a piano? They did not put some efforts in arranging it!
Boring sound. Dull.
The background vocals in the extro are nice, way to short ofcourse. And than suddenly the song is over. No extensions. 5/10.

**allrevvedup** · 11 Dec 2006, 14:55

i definitely don't have an urge to dance to this...then again there's little i have an urge to dance to!

not bad but not great

6.5

Eddie's Teddy · 11 Dec 2006, 15:21

Didn't like it at first but then one day whilst listening to Bat III with my headphones on I suddenly thought "WOW!!" and got really lost in the song. I absolutely adore it now. So 9/10 for me.

duke knooby · 11 Dec 2006, 22:11

love it, 8 again

Paul191 · 11 Dec 2006, 23:39

Love it to bits!

10/10

robgomm · 15 Dec 2006, 12:24

Cracking song. Why shouldn't there be a pop type song on a Bat album? You seem to think only certain types of songs belong on a Bat album which is ridiculous, if something is good enough, it makes the album. Especially such a great song as this. Coupled with Monstro as the lead-in makes it even better.

9 out of 10

Jeanie · 16 Dec 2006, 04:07

I love everything about this song. "Alive" is one of my most favorites on the album.

10/10 for me.

One of my faves, don't think i could suggest an improvement to it so its a 10/10 for me

Evil One · 21 Jan 2007, 14:13

I really like this song.

samurai7 · 22 Jan 2007, 04:30

I like this one. It's (almost) everything a Meat Loaf song should be. Massive chorus, massive arrangement. As good as any other non-Steinman Meat Loaf song. Still not convinced it's a Bat song, though.
