The fact that this is the third best selling album of all time sounds weird on paper, and I usually forget why until I actually play it. This is probably among the best mixture between rock and roll and Broadway that exists, and sounds so full of life. Some of it is a little too cheesy for words, but it’s a classic for a reason. B

This is so over the top melodramatic, I kind of can't help but like it. I was surprised to hear what sounded like influences for Hedwig and the Angry Inch in this record. Apparently this is adapted from a rock-and-roll musical interpretation of Peter Pan; well now I'm going to have to go back and listen again and pay more attention to the lyrics.

Never listened to this, but apparently I knew the singles from the radio. Really enjoyed it though, and I'm not that surprised. I was super into Bat Out of Hell 2 when I was a kid. 4/5
