Meatloaf announced Tuesday at the release of his Third album Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose “With a ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ record, you either love it, and you really love it, or you hate it, and you really hate it and you despise everything about it,” he told Reuters in an interview. “Those people that hate it need psychological help,” he said. The first single, “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now,” has reached the top five in Britain, Germany and Switzerland, but the beefy Texan acknowledged success in Europe does not always cross the Atlantic.  Meatloaf also announced that this would be the last album in the series. It was delayed after a legal dispute with songwriter Jim Steinman, with Meat Loaf claiming Steinman wrongfully registered the “Bat Out Of Hell” phrase as his trademark.Meat Loaf has since dropped the multimillion-dollar lawsuit, calling it a dispute “between lawyers.” “It wasn’t between Jim, and me” he said. I personally loved the Bat out of Hell albums and can’t wait to get my hands on this newest addition to the greatest rock-operas ever written.
