Bad for GoodNovember 1, 2008 T. Ezzell(Georgia) Great CD, Great Price. If you are a Jim Steinman or Meatloaf fan, then this CD is for you.
Fantastic "Album"April 28, 2008 Darren A. Somsen(Salt Lake City, UT) I originally owned this on cassette in 1985. Steinman had been responsible for Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" as producer and songwriter. On "Bad For Good" he sings/growls/screams/performs his own songs (many of which ended up on "Bat Out of Hell II"). Steinman's producing style is very distinct. For fans his style is unmistakeable. From Air Supply to Bonnie Tyler, he's helped them create some very memorable songs. On his own album, it's timeless. Although originally released in 1981, the entire album is listenable from beginning to end. Backed up with the talent of Todd Rungren and Ellen Foley, Steinman's "Bad For Good" is a welcomed addition to any CD collection.

I love the sound of this album. Most of these songs have been resurrected in various guises, but this is really the last pure Steinman album that I can listen to with no reservations as far as production goes. The Pandora's Box album and "Bat II" sound very dated to me, very digital. But "Bad For Good" sounds more like "Bat I," and whereas the compositions are reliably over the top, the production is not too thick or gimmicky. A good example is "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through," which is much more tastefully arranged on this album than in Meat Loaf's later version and moves at a much snappier clip. Steinman's voice is not Meat Loaf's, so do not get your expectations up and just enjoy it for what it is. "Stark Raving Love" would later be cannibalized to form the meat of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For a Hero." I think it's a very enjoyable album, and it sounds great.

Ok, so he doesn't quite sound like MeatLoaf, but this guy's the real genius behind the music.

What makes Jim Steinman think he can sing? His songs are great, but best sung by people who actually can carry a tune like Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, etc.
