Active compensatory factors: Where would Meatloaf be without Jim Steinman? It would be Meatloaf who? And yet this solo album is also nowhere near as successful without Meatloaf on vocals.

Jim writes these operatic style songs - heavy on heroic myth and melodrama, that were used on Bat Out of Hell and subsequent Meatloaf albums (the successful ones). Many of the Bad For Good songs were later done by Meat.
Done here they are better than demos but Jim can't sell a song like Meatloaf can so I end up heading back to Deadringer or the Bat Out of Hell albums more often than Bad For Good.
Dance in My Pants is my chosen track because it recasts Paradise by the Dashboard Light to a dance routine rather than baseball and it's a barrel of laughs.
Where do they all belong? This was his only solo album but his oversized grand songs do turn up most notably on Meatloaf albums, plus Bonnie Tyler's albums.
