Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting with songwriter Jim Steinman after years of legal and personal disputes, this massive, belated sequel improbably dominated the global charts at the height of the grunge era. The bombastic production utilizes soaring choirs, symphonic orchestration, and Jim Steinman's trademark operatic melodrama to deliver a triumphant, deeply romantic arena rock spectacle.
