Everything is permitted is one of my favorites. I especially love thinking about Jim writing the song. I like the imagine he was reading The Brothers Karamazov and that its to Dostoevsky just as Wuthering Heights is to Its all Coming back to me Now.
It also makes me think what the fully realized Dead Ringer album would have been like. I like to think of the album as something like Crime and Punishment except Raskolnikov (Meat Loaf) has a girlfriend and tries to use the excess of love to defend murder. Dead Ringer and More than You Deserve don't really fit though
