Good chorus. I don't know more than 1 or 2 songs from Meatloaf. so I cannot really compare too much, but I think you made a nice song. As a mix it sounds a bit over-compressed - maybe the song would be even better if there were more space for all instruments? Just saying - it is of course a matter of personal taste how dynamic you want a track to be.  Thanks for sharing! Will Hi Will. Many thanks for the review - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

ROG & Eddie,
I love the way you have captured the Meatloaf vibe... Excellent mix and a good vocal by Eddie.
Much enjoyed!
Bob

I don't think I was ever a fan of Meatloaf but I'll stand with my bic - or is it cellphone lights now?  I also thought the bass could've been beefier. Otherwise I thought it was a very cool production and the bribery was obviously worth it. Josie, SO nice to get a review from you, many thanks. You could be right about the bass - I'm working in some new monitor speakers and they're taking a bit of getting used to. Next time the bass will probably rattle the windows! Cheers, ROG.

Great job channelling the big man!! Both the sentiment of the song, and the music (particularly the quick chord changes at the end of some lines) really capture the Steinman thing. I've always been a big fan myself and you guys have captured his essence well! Very nice!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg. You know I always value your opinion, so really pleased to get all the positive comments. Many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

Well, after I picked up the monitors and put them back on the shelf I was able to enjoy the production...
Man, that drum kit sounds HUGE.
I know absolutely nothing about Meatloaf...but what a classic rock sound!
Rock on...

If you do ever get motivated to listen to any of his stuff, also research Jim Steinman who writes and produces most of it. Meatloaf hits have run the gamut from hard edge rockers (Bat Out Of Hell) to soft ballads ( Anything For Love, and the Diane Warren penned I'd Lie For You.) But Steinman himself has put out some stuff with him singing (with most of Meatloaf's band and backing singers) that are great. Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through.

J&B Hi J&B, Yes, it's a hotter mix than I usually go for, but the Meatloaf rock tracks tend to be quite powerful. As Eddie said, there's a lot of variety in Steinman/Meatloaf material and it's all very theatrical - the Bat Out Of Hell DVD has some wonderful videos. So, glad your monitors survived the listen and many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

Hi there J&B and many thanks for that.
As far as I can tell, Meatloaf's music tends to be one of those things which polarises opinion - either
you love it or hate it. I fall into the first category, but trying to write in that style was a big
challenge and the feedback is most welcome.
Working at the moment on a track which I think Bud will like, if only for the title!
Watch this space....
ROG.
