Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

There are few genres of music that polarise opinion more than Rock/Opera. Music lovers usually refer to the album Bat Out of Hell when they want to show how good it can be when the right combination of perfect voice and right songwriter/producer are beside them, for arguably the immense, silky voice of Meat Loaf has never been better when he had the deftness of music skill in Jim Steinman plugging away beside him, nor perhaps when that double act was complimented by the addition of the terrific Ellen Foley as female vocalist on some of the tracks.
