I think that what the thread below this shows quite nicely is that, whilst we all love Jim Steinman, everyone has some albums that they love more than others. I personally really loved Braver Than We Are, but I accept that not everyone will.

What I would suggest though is that you give the songs a bit more time to get under your skin. When I first listened to it, I found that there were some tracks I instantly fell in love with but others that I didn't really get at first but now find I love more and more. Maybe listen to the album a few more times and see if it grows on you...?
