Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended as a vocal vehicle for Meat Loaf, this solo endeavor features Jim Steinman delivering his own bombastic, highly theatrical rock compositions. The record is characterized by its dramatic spoken-word interludes, massive Wall of Sound production techniques, and epic teenage-rebellion narratives.
