I had pretty much the same reaction. I thought the song was pretty boring until I just focused on the vocals. Lambert wails the second half. I do think Lambert is the closest thing to this generations Meat Loaf. Sony's been pulling the Youtubes of this, but it's like whack-a-mole. Search and it's probably up again.
I'd give about anything to hear him do Body. Just a vocal and simple arrangement would do. Actually, I'd take any Jim song performed by him. Maybe, if they do a "Songs from Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical" type album...
