I Love You, Meatloaf!

Yeah, yeah, sure, the cool kids are excited because White Magic and Joanna Newsom both have albums coming out in October, but who cares? Because Meatloaf is releasing "Bat out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose" on Halloween and I officially declare it ALBUM OF THE YEAR! I am 100% serious. It is everything you could ever want in a musical experience--nay, a musical journey to awesomeness! It's like every coke jam and power ballad in the world mushed up into a giant ball of HOLY SHIT. It's like Tenacious D but for serious! (I think.) I'm telling you, the existence of this album, at this exact point in time, has renewed my faith in ROCK. Oh, it makes me so glad.

P.S. Did you know that the original "Bat Out of Hell" is the 3rd best-selling album of all time? I don't know if that's accurate but I heard it from a music-nerd I know and I believe it! This Halloween, prepare to be blown away by the hardest rocking man in hard-rockingness: MEATLOAF I LOVE YOU!
