It's 2h22 in the morning, I'm 27 years old, and I just need to share my love for Meat Loaf.

I discovered Bat Out of Hell a month ago and my god that album is so awesome. I'm normally into rock, electronic/instrumental and indie music, but for some reason this theatrical over the top performer completely won me over. The music videos are so mesmerizing and from the heart, and the album just flows so well. I can really become one with it.

And Bat Out of Hell 2 just does it again. Such an amazing album, different from the first, but still so damn good and beautiful.

For me, Bad Attitude is his third best album (Bat Out of Hell 3 doesn't really work for me). I'm still slowly dipping my toes into the other albums (Dead Ringer is recommended a lot, but you can really hear the damage to his voice in that one and it really puts me of).

Also lots of love to Jim Steinmann for writing most of these incredible songs.

Hope you guys have artists that just took a hold of your soul like that, it's such an amazing feeling. Especially with other stuff in my life that is still tough, stuff like this is extra important. Love you all!

I'm right there with you, I grew up with the Greatest Hits album my dad had and always loved listening to it.

The title is pretty funny out of context though lmao
