I can't, I took it back to the shop the next day. I don't usually give up on an album that quickly but it had no redeeming features. Even IWDAFLBIWDT wasn't as good as I remembered. I don't like the last two proper songs on the new album as they are again too long and don't go anywhere. I love long songs and listen to loads of prog stuff like Dream Theater, Rush, Tool etc but these were just dull. Steinman seems to write these bridges and choruses that go on forever. I don't mind if the songs shift and change and have cool solo's but these were just repetitive.
Also I'm not saying that I personally don't think Meat Loaf is cool just that he's not someone that is perceived as cool. His songs don't get on the radio much and he's seen as more of a guilty pleasure than anything else.
