The latest instalment was produced by Desmond Child - who has worked with Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Cher - and who wanted Meat Loaf to tone down the pomp and sing from the heart.
Child asked Meat Loaf to be "less theatrical" and the star says the songs became "more personal", applying them to his own life rather than playing a part.
Just so that someone states the obvious: Meat Loaf "less theatrical"? "Tone down the pomp?" Is that defeating the point?
"Hey, Slayer, why don't you slow down a bit, try using just one bass drum, and maybe sing a nice vocal melody over the guitars?" "Hey, Yes, why don't you try writing a concise song with verse-verse-chorus structure, say about 3:30 long?'
