Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell 3

Well, I woke this morning fully intending to have a day off but the first thing I see as I flick on the tv is something advertising te new single from Meatloaf. That means I decide to get my laptop out to see what his new offering is like and that means my brain kicks into gear and here I am writing in my blog and i'm about to start on some work.

So anyway, my thoughts on Meatloafs new single, 'The Monster is Loose'. Well first of all I had better explain that I am a bit of a closet Meatloaf fan (I hope none of my friends are reading this!) but 'The Monster is Loose' realy doesn't fulfil my expectations. Considering this offering is supposed to be Bat OUt of Hell 3 it offers none of the passion that the previous two managed and in my humble opinion has none of the top 10 qualities that kept Bat out of Hell in the charts for 474 weeks (did you know that the album still sells approx 200,000 copies per year?) or Bat out of Hell 2 at number one for 7 weeks in the uk charts (another random fact: Bat out of Hell 2 reached number one in 28 countries!).

One thing I have always liked about Meatloaf is definately still there though is a theatrical side of the music and although I have not been that impressed by the title track on this occasion, I have found other tracks that I really do like. Check some out for yourself below, I have included the 'trailer' (I thought only films had those) of Bat out of Hell 3 and also a video of another song off the album (which was on a previous one as well so I have no idea why its on there but I do like it, a lot!

Its All Coming Back To Me Now
