Yeah, I said the same thing before, so I agree with you totally. I hope Jim is currently working with other artists. No 'Bat out of Hell IV', please!! Two were enough and classics. The third was a good Meat Loaf album (I like the non Steinman songs)like 'Bad Attitude' is a good Meat Loaf album but all the Steinman songs were lifeless compared to original versions in my opinion, so I skip them when I listen to that album.

Let the 'Bat out of Hell' name rest in peace...until it (hopefully) comes bursting out of a graveyard once again when the musical opens!! :)

I agree. It's natural at his age, though. He said he was going to retire about, what, 8 years ago (the last tour, the last album etc.). Whatever happened to that decision???

Perhaps he is "slow" compared to other artists who release mediocre albums and songs every three years. I think Jim spends the necessary time writing the songs (however long it takes) until their are up to his standards. He's said in interviews that it's an agonizing process for him...so it takes time. And like you said I also think his songs are always worth waiting for. The quality remains the same in my opinion.

I'm still enjoying listening to all the demos released last year. That was a nice gesture to fans waiting for new stuff...
