As a kid, this was my first exposure to the concept of “bait and switch”. There is no way that the music came any where close to matching the cover art.

I don't know what you mean. That cover screams jangly, piano based, theatrical, multi-part songs to me!

Most of what I know about Meat Loaf comes from the 2000 VH1 Made for TV Movie "Meat Loaf: To Hell and Back"

The important thing about this album is just to remember to have fun. It’s over the top and spectacular.

Meat Loaf (and Jim Steinman) is one of my greatest guilty pleasures. Big, dumb, fun and over-the-top melodrama that rarely fails to put a smile on my face.

I love Meat Loaf. Over the top late 70s Rock is so much fun. The reason this album is such a standout is because it’s all killer, no filler. Queen and Kiss both have their moments but neither have an album that is as good as this from beginning to end.
This makes me wanna stay up until 4 AM on a smoking Marlboro Reds while drinking malt liquor.

This album is both the pinnacle of ROCK and the perfect example of why punk needed to happen
I dunno I could list a whole lot public school boy noodly prog that’s got to be way higher in the punk rock crosshairs over this.

No hate for the Bat. It is just so over top.
Oh it is totally, it’s almost more of a musical theatre soundtrack than a popular music album.
I equally can’t imagine a punk act appearing on tv with an “I hate Meat Loaf” t shirt.
