    Latest Meat Loaf's album is simply overdone. Although the songs have their potential, it has been just wasted by for ex. too experimental vocal modulation. While the first, pathetic song "All Of Me" can tune positively, the rest of the material is just weak. And I'll not mention collaborations with rappers.

    Ultimately scuppered by too many leaden ballads and self-indulgent guest spots, this outing leaves the future looking very unclear once more for Meat Loaf and offers little to those who aren't already die-hard fans.

    If the songs don't quite deliver upon their promise, at least Crook's production and Meat Loaf's performance keep things interesting.

    It's "disappointing" only because it isn't dreadful in funnier, more interesting ways.
