"Jim Steinman is a man who accepted excess into his heart in the way a Christian must accept God into his soul...Probably the ultimate definition of the genius-as-madman. Creator of the most gloriously pounding, emotionally derailed, headily deranged, chrome hard, wildly demented, madly powerful, too real, wholly unreal, sexually monumental, totally melodramatic all-time masterpiece albums ever made."
