It's hard to say. I don't actually think Bat 3 works as a cohesive album like WTTN definitely does and even BBIS, DR and BA but I think it has some killer songs. Even HIAH has a great "All of Me" in my opinion and I really like "Keep Driving" on MATLAF. Finally Prize Fight Lover, albeit dropped from HCTB is I think one of the best songs Meat has ever recorded and one of his most impressive vocal performances from recent years.

Note : This list can be reversed.

so youre saying Meat's albums either degrade in quality or upgrade in quality with each passing album?

I think Ive made an update:

MATLAF

Vickip · 24 Jul 2012, 18:56

[1]HIAHB / HCTB ----> tied
[2]CHSIB
[3]WTTN
[4]Bat ----> I prefer the way he sings the songs live now over the originals
[5]Bat 2 ----> I prefer the way he sings the songs live now over the originals
[6]Bat 3
[7]All the rest ----> No particular order

Adje · 24 Jul 2012, 20:01

I stick to my earlier list with one exception. I recently played Bat 3 again and I'm tired of HiaH so they switch places. Bat3 is now on place 8 and HiaH on 9.

I also gave HCTB a new chance but it hasn't changed my feelings. So the new list:

01 Bat 1
02 Bat 2
03 Couldn't Have said it better
04 Blind Before I Stop
05 Welcome to the Neighbourhood
06 Dead Ringer
07 Bad Attitude
08 Bat3
09 Hell in a Handbasket
10 Midnight at the Lost and Found
11 Stoney and Meatloaf
12 Hang Cool Teddy Bear

1. Hell In A Handbasket
2. Bat Out of Hell
3. Bat Out of Hell II : Back Into Hell
4. Couldn't Have Said It Better
5. Bat Out of Hell III : The Monster Is Loose
6. Hang Cool Teddy Bear
7. Welcome To The Neighbourhood
8. Dead Ringer For Love
9. Bad Attitude
10. Midnight at The Lost and Found
11. Blind Before I Stop

I haven't included Stoney and Meat Loaf because I have never heard the album to be able to make a fair judgement on it.

Numbers 3-6 on my list will vary in order sometimes depending on how I feel at the time but Numbers 1,2 and 7-11 don't ususually change.

Wario · 30 Jul 2012, 17:31

always wondered how Fire Ball/cowboy would rank them.

Paul Richardson · 30 Jul 2012, 23:21

01 Bat 1
02 Bat 2
03 Bat 3
04 Dead Ringer
05 Hang Cool Teddy Bear
06 Hell In A Handbasket
07 Welcome To The Neighbourhood
08 Bad Attitude
09 Couldn't Have Said It Better
10 Midnight At The Lost And Found
11 Blind Before I Stop
12 Stoney And Meat Loaf

01-04 I love with a passion, 05 I genuinely think is the greatest non Steinman album, 06 is probably higher up because its new, 07-08 have a couple of songs each which are great (guess which ?), the rest 09-12 have nothing to redeem them ... and actually I actively dislike them. Typical Meat Loaf - genius one moment and ...

misterfive · 03 Aug 2012, 00:34

-Best from Left to Right-

The Very Best - Bat Out Of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II Back Into Hell, Dead Ringer, The Best Of Meatloaf (the with A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste and Home By Now No Matter What).
