Meat Loaf - Two Out Of Three Aint Bad Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Review by Colin At Powermax

Meat Loaf's album Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad Paradise By The Dashboard Light is a classic rock masterpiece that showcases the singer's powerful vocals and theatrical flair. The album, released in 1977, features some of Meat Loaf's most iconic tracks, including the epic "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and the heart-wrenching ballad "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad."

The album's opening track, "Bat Out of Hell," sets the tone for what's to come, with its soaring guitar riffs and dramatic lyrics. Meat Loaf's voice is at its most expressive on this track, as he belts out lines like "Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes." The title track, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," is a slow-burning ballad that showcases Meat Loaf's ability to convey emotion through his voice.

Of course, it's the album's centerpiece, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," that remains one of the most beloved rock anthems of all time. Clocking in at over eight minutes, the song tells the story of a young couple's first sexual encounter, with Meat Loaf and guest vocalist Ellen Foley trading verses and building to a climactic finish. The song's mix of rock and roll energy and romantic drama has made it a staple of classic rock radio and a fan favorite for decades.
