Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose

Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is LooseAfter yet another legal fallout with songwriter Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf was forced to turn to Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, producer Desmond Child and others for most of the material on the latest Bat installment. Consequently, there’s a surplus of histrionic heavy-metal numbers and an absence of Steinman’s usual arena-opera epics.
