Don't you thinks its a coincidence that Meat's most successful albums had "Songs by Jim Steinman" on the front cover? And what was Meat doing when "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" were topping the charts? He was recording "Midnight At The Lost And Found" which debuted at the bottom of the Top 200, "Bad Attitude" which only had one song on "The Very Best Of Meat Loaf", "Blind Before I Stop" which is almost completely forgotten by the public. "Welcome To The Neighborhood" succeeded simply because it was the next album after BAT2. "I'd Lie For You" sounds like an "Anything For Love" ripoff. Steinman didn't even have involvement on "The Monster Is Loose", and if Meat was the big face of BOOH, how come that didn't storm the charts? It seems that everytime Steinman used the name in association with himself, big things happened. Because of the failure of TMIL, I think it changes things... Because of the failure of all the other albums, it makes the matter more complicated than it looks.
