Meat Loaf Artist Snapshot:

Who would have ever thought that opera-rock fronted by a 300 pound-plus singer would equal massive chart success worldwide? That's exactly what happened with Marvin Aday, better known as Meat Loaf. Along with collaborator/producer Jim Steinman, he created one of rock's biggest and most enduring albums--1977's epic BAT OUT OF HELL. Combining a theater-trained voice as big as his frame (he'd previously acted and sung in ROCK HORROR PICTURE SHOW among others) with Springsteen-plus arena-rock production, Meat Loaf took the world by storm, but faded away shortly thereafter. His massive comeback 16 years later with BAT OUT OF HELL II was a storybook ending that caught the music industry by surprise and earned the singer a Grammy award.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (12/11/98, p.81) - "...This set recaps the sweeping grandeur of his mega-million selling BAT OUT OF HELL bow and all the cheesier, histrionic singles that followed..." - Rating: B
Mojo (Publisher) (2/04, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad' and 'Bat Out Of Hell' remain glorious masterpieces of Saturday night yearning and rebel-without-a-cause drama."

While Meat Loaf?s previous anthology, 1984?s HITS OUT OF HELL, contained most of the radio hits you?d expect from the first part of his career, it obviously didn?t contain any selections from his mid-'90s "second coming" (with BAT OUT HELL II and the monster hit ?I Would Do Anything For Love?). 1998?s double disc THE VERY BEST OF corrects this, containing a more extensive track listing than its predecessor and clocking in at nearly two hours with a more expansive 18 tracks. If you?re an aficionado of '70s arena rock (Queen, Elton John, Styx, etc.), then Meat Loaf?s THE VERY BEST OF will likely become a permanent denizen of your CD player. Standouts include such early classics as ?Two Out of Three Ain?t Bad? and ?Paradise by the Dashboard Light,? as well as oft-overlooked mid-career standouts ?Dead Ringer For Love? and ?Midnight at the Lost and Found,? and of course the '90s "comeback" tracks ?I Would Do Anything For Love? and ?Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through."
