That was so good for a 2000's pop rock album, wow. Yes, it did have the pop rock sound but it also managed to mix it with some post riffs and general post-ish vibes, which was very pleasant to hear. The album also fit well to my sleepy mood I had at the moment of listening. I would actually recommend.

First of all... His name was Robert Paulson.
Alright, now that we have a Fight Club reference behind us, I would like to actually talk about the album. So, wow, just wow. This is not what I expected. I haven't heard Meat Loaf's music before and mainly knew the guy from, well, Fight Club movie, but I did stumble upon his albums many times in record stores. The covers were really fun, including Bar Out Of Hell's cover, but I was expecting something that would sound more like ZZ Top or maybe Motorhead, but I was pleasantly surprised it was something more. The whole album sounded like combination of Elvis Presley, Queen, Frank Zappa, Kiss, 70's and 80's progressive rock, symphonic sound and also american vibes. The first track made me feel like this album might be perfect, this opening was so spectacular I couldn't let myself not smile, just pure happiness. Next songs weren't as perfect but Meat Loaf showed that he can make great music and I enjoyed the rest of the album almost on the same level. So, considering all the circumstances, I think that there is only one possible rating for this album. Pleasant surprise you were, Robert Paulson, pleasant surprise.

Enjoyable.

I am radioheading it.

I am not sure if this album is a perfect choice for long sunny car drive but hey, I enjoyed it. And Harry Nilsson spirit is always welcomed.

Great album for breakfast.

I was shooting metal ducks with an air gun while listemimng to this. Nice experimence and the music to it.

Better than expected but I am still not a hip-hop lover even though I am enjoying it more and more.

So this is what this whole Rush is about...

To be honest, it's a great album with some classic hits, but as a whole it's not a masterpiece.

Chill album, good for my yesterday's evening. I recommend.

I have to say, I've never been a big Metallica fan, that's for sure. On the other hand, this album has always been my favorite Metallica album. It's the most progressive album of theirs, it's really really pleasant with some classic songs and my favorites from the band. The only issue is of course the lack of bass, obviously - it's diabolical. But well, to be honest, I can't deny how influential
Metallica always was and how much impact on metal music that I love they had. Add that to the fact that this list doesn't have that huge of a competition of my actually favorite albums besides a few, I might aswell rate this one like that...

That was very nice, good vocals, very positive sound.

Ah, a breath of fresh air after the last album. This is good, really good. I think I will be coming back to this album, which maybe will even make this album go up in my rating, we will see. But I have to say I loved it, I just need to hear it few more times to decide if it will be one of my favorites.

Just end my suffering already.

Surprisingly good, I was expecting something dull and boring, and also too long but it's actually very pleasant.

Not bad

Started off worse, then got way better.
