MEAT LOAF "braver than we are" cd, 2016:

career stats:
studio albums.......13
singles.................39

this album....................#31 US...#17 AU...#4 UK
singles:
"going all the way is just the start".....no chart action
"speaking in tongues".......................no chart action

Meat's latest effort...
pretty well universally slammed or received luke warm reviews...
Steinman back in charge here...
not new songs but previously unreleased JS tracks, one is a cover of a Bonnie track off
her "faster than the speed of night" album, "loving you is a dirty job (but someones gotta do it)"....
Meat apparently wanted to do a duet with her on the album, no details on which track, but she declined anyway....
several duets on here though with female singers ive never heard of...
songs range from just under two minutes to almost twelve minutes in length, typical of his albums...
mainly ballads and soft rock on here, nothing really genuine rock, well, maybe one track...
he's lost the strength in his voice and just about all the octaves he once had, as the songs are well within his capabilities...
another good album from The Meat, but a bit more meat and less veggies would have been nice,
but the sax work on my favourite track makes up for the lack of meat....

I LIKE THIS ALBUM
