4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly not the worst...in fact, pretty good, November 12, 2002

This review is from: Midnight at the Lost & Found (Audio CD)

Aftert hearing of the NUMEROUS negative reviews that were given for Midnight At The Lost And Found, Meat Loaf third LP album (and the first without the help of then former writer Jim Steinman), my first thought was what was all their beef with this album. I decided to buy the album to try to complete the Meat Loaf collection that I had (along with Dead Ringer), and I have to say that I am NOT disappointed in this record. In fact, I will take a chance with this review not being one that many will like me giving, and say that you should definitly check out this album.

The start of this album is a song that SOMEHOW didn't make Meat's Very Best Of record, Razor's Edge. Then the memorable title track. Then Meat seems to break out of the former mold and tries to make this album sound a whole lot different than Bat Out Of Hell, which is good, since too much of a good thing can spell diaster for many artists. Wolf At Your Door is the first piece of evidence that suggests this, and it does a good job at doing it. The Promised Land has a church-gospel feel to it (which Meat would later do for Is Nothing Sacred [Very Best Of]). You Can't Never Be Too Sure About The Girl sould like the prelude to what Modern Girl [Bad Attitude] would be. The rest of the album makes a good case that Meat can function without Steinmen (if he couldn't, he would've had Steinemn's complete efforts for Welcome To The Neighborhood, in which the beautiful I'd Lie For You And That's The Truth resides).

The only thing really bad about this album is Meat's actual voice. You can tell that, starting with this one, his voice changes. When his voice goes soft, it's the voice that you hear now one Bat Out Of Hell II, but when he goes strong and shouting, his voice is the original BOH sound. Although it doesn't fully damage the CD, it certainly can be noticed. Another reason why many people probably disliked this CD is because people wanted, still, another Bat Out Of Hell, and instead, Meat delivered a different sound.

It is a sound that makes Midnight Meat's most underrated album ever, and if you really listen, you will come to like this album. The different sound this time make Midnight a fresh sound that you probably wouldn't be likely to find anywhere else, and it will be something you'll like, dispite all the negativity it gathers from those that were expecting another BOH or Dead Ringer.

anyone who thinks Bat Out Of Hell is the only meatloaf cd, check this one out. easily as good as BOOH. Meatloaf is one of our most talented singers today.

Look, the 80's were a blur of alchol and cocaine...most of the music that evolved from it was a bit crap. that being said I love this album. This and Bad Attidude are his best albums from the 80's. Wolf at Your Door is a great song taken from Meat's own problems with money at the time and is every bit as good his other songs. Title song great and Razor's Edge is hard core rock. Honestly, i think his worst album was Couldn't Have Said it Better. Meat can make it without Steinmen no problem. When they work together it is true magic and Steinmen is a god of lyrics (i do adore him), but Meat can and has managed on his own. Check this album out. IMO it is far better than Dead Ringer, which got on my nerves.
