The Daily Express gave HCTB four out of five stars in their album review today, scoring it higher than albums by Paul Weller, Kate Nash and Donny Osmond. I know you like it but would you give it four stars? Simon Gage wrote: "Everything you love about Meat Loaf is here on his 11th studio album, from the over-the-top sleeve to the drama of the voice and the crash, bang, wallop of it all. More than just a collection of songs, Mr Loaf takes you on a journey with the tracks linked into a loose kind of story. Throw in Hugh Laurie on piano (yes, you read that right), some classic production from new collaborator Rob Cavallo, of Green Day fame, The Darkness's Justin Hawkins, who co-wrote a couple of the songs, on guitar and you have a flavour-filled rock album to make you smile." I think he agrees with you. It could be that Meat has survived the disaster of TMIL. HCTB is starting to sound like it might be his most commercial non-Jim album ever. | |
