CD reissue. This album probably contains one of Meat Loaf's most interesting collection of songs. The pairing of the epic rocker Meat Loaf with German producer Frank Farian, turned out into a good ride to obscure-pop-heaven. The production is tight as hell, even more synth-laden with a fully 80's sound. The album has become somewhat of a favorite for fans, with the epic ballad "Standing On The Outside" and the duet "Rock 'n' Roll Mercenaries", featuring English singer John Parr, may be seen as a couple of Meat Loaf's best songs ever. Stand out rock tracks like "Masculine", "Blind Before I Stop" and "Rock 'n' Roll Hero" makes Meat Loaf sounding as good as ever.
