Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If it ain't broke then why fix it? Fittingly, Couldn't Have Said It Better--Meat Loaf's first studio album since 1995's Welcome to the Neighbourhood--is squarely in the lung-belting rock-operatic mould of dynamic former classics such as Bat Out of Hell--that's to say none of it is a million miles away from Vegas-era Elvis, The Rocky Horror Show and what German composer Richard Wagner might have sounded like if he rode around on a large motorbike courting ladies in his favourite frilly shirt. Yes, in Meat Loaf's wide-of-girth pop world all songs are super-animated epics in which lusty choirs soar, hearts are thumped and hankies are wrung, where grand pianos are assaulted in a manner which would make Jerry Lee Lewis flinch and where the production work makes Phil Spector's Wall of Sound look like a garden fence. But that's what folks like about the big fella--Meat Loaf doesn't do "understatement". At one end of the scale, the mighty soft-metal title track--one of a number of songs copenned by James Michael and Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx--is so overbearingly beefy it can only be likened to being seduced on the sofa by someone from World Wrestling Entertainment while the rollicking, testosterone-dripping over-exuberance of "Tear Me Down"--replete with a loopy, spoken-word Texan history segment--is essentially Robbie Williams' "Let Me Entertain You" in a hairy chest wig. At the other end of the spectrum, even soppy ballads such as "Did I Say That" are about as subtle as an avalanche. Couldn't Have Said It Better is noisy polished fun all round. It is audibly apparent that Mr Loaf still possesses meat in abundance. --Kevin Maidment
Description
Larger-than-life, multi-million-selling man-mountain MarvinLee Aday returns with his ninth studio album, the follow-upto 1995's 'Welcome to the Neighborhood'. With tracks by a collection of songwriters including Diane Warren and Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, this solid Meat Loaf album features plentyof the customary theatrical bombast. Includes the title-track single and a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young'.
