Meat Loaf, po wielu perypetiach życia prywatnego, zwany przez fachową prasę "Ryszardem Wagnerem Rocka" dokonał bodaj największego come-backu w historii rocka - w 1993 roku, kiedy dla mocnego gitarowego grania powoli zapalało się czerwone światło, ukazał się epicki, liryczny i rockowy, jak nic innego rockowe nie jest album "Bat Out Of Hell II - Back Into Hell": po raz kolejny Meat dowiódł kunsztu swego głosu, fascynacji soulem, poświęcenia dla gospel i przede wszystkim miłości do rocka. Jego glos w ´I Would Do Anything For Love´ jest porazajacy, przeszywajacy i pelen prawdy.Gdy dobrych pare lat temu zobaczylem teledysk w konwencji pieknej i besti nie moglem sie oderwac od szklanego ekranu, nagralem go i czasami sluchalem po kilka razy.

At a certain point, bad taste and bombast becomes so excessive and so grandiose that they're no longer an easily dismissed irritation but an astonishing monument to the warped imagination. Such a monument is Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, the long-delayed sequel to 1977's Bat Out of Hell. Once again songwriter/producer Jim Steinman has isolated high-school parking-lot aphorisms and inflated them to Wagner-on-Broadway proportions, casting Mr. Loaf as a heavy-metal Ezio Pinza. Typical of the album's strategy is its big hit single, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Steinman piles on the guitars, drums, synthesizers, and choral voices as if he were Phil Spector producing Kiss playing the Who songbook. The rest of the album tackles the themes of teenage lust, frustration, and rock & roll fantasies in similar fashion. It's somehow beside the point to complain about the puerile lyrics, the leaden rhythms, the derivative melodies, the histrionic vocals, or the overblown arrangements. Steinman knows how to push his audience's buttons, and with Meat Loaf's help, he hits those buttons with a sledgehammer.
