Reviews Customer Reviews for Midnight At The Lost And Found      definitely underrated...it's really pretty enjoyable      Rating:      First, the fact that this is an obscure album shouldn't put you off buying it. Since most the albums of the 70's pale in comparison to Bat Out Of Hell, it's not surprising that this little gem got tossed by the wayside in the Bat's wake. This is NOTHING like Bat Out Of Hell. At all. If you buy this expecting something like Bat you will almost certainly hate it. Meat Loaf actually co-wrote many of the songs, and though he has basically disowned the album, it's really not bad. Actually, I've owned it for ages and still enjoy listening to it. The songs are all short, simple, and catchy - perfect driving music. Lyrics are pretty good considering Steinman's absence. The whole album reminds me of Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy (though Zevon was a much better songwriter). Meat sings quite well on the songs even though they are not of the epic stature he truly excels in. The band is also in prime, rock solid form. Highlights include the great title track, "Keep Driving," "Razor's Edge," and "You Never Can Be Too Sure About the Girl." The only song I really don't like is the last one since it is just a fluffy, pointless ballad. If you like straightforward rock with a good groove then you should have a good time with this album.     Customer Reviews for Midnight At The Lost And Found Cd      This is not like BAT OUT OF HELL      Rating:      I bought this at a store in Ontario. Its awesome! The year is 1983, Meat's Bat is soaring, his follow up, horribly underrated. Could have been produced better, probably why ;o) none the less, excellent. This album comes out, things look sort one radio-played over 5 songs from the new album. 2 others, that you don't hear too often, probly cause they take more on a classical sounding means rock n roll vocals gone soft to high. Then you hear this MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST & FOUND. What do you notice? No theatrics? Things start off sorta slow with this Razor's Edge track, if you go on Meat's german site you can hear a kick ass live version back in the same year. Very hard. Then Midnight comes on, and it sounds like something you wouldn't hear by Meat. That's cause these songs aren't written by Steinman. Do not avoid this CD, the vocals very rarely lack, except for last track and the odd parts. But over all its fantastic, cause the songs are so much more rocker. Wolf at your door carries this riff that sounds like R.E.M. but really good, REM copied this i bet ;o) Next track is bit slow, but nice quick solo. I like it, probly most similar to Meat songs. Next one is a Chuck Berry one, sounds just like a 50's tune. Nice bar track, alot of them are. Its not 80's metal, but whole album sounds more like a laid back rock album. The next one, is very good, there's a certain sound to describe this one, but its probly one of my favourites. This album don't sound as thick as people wanted like from Bat. Next song, well it sucks. I listen to it time to time, but its to poppy. Someone cover it make it better! Next one is southern rock style, its a bit slow with a nice solo. Its a duet unlike paradise, more serious. All the songs are shorter, and this is a nice one. This next song great bass line! What a song its very good, album could have been produced little better. I just don't like how Meat sings "away" Its where ya can tell his voice was abit untrained there. Oh well, now this last song. Not a way to end this album, I didn't like it, stilldon't quite. I'll listen to it again, but like another song on this album *prisilla* you don't wanna share it with your friends. (all out of 5 stars) Razor's Edge **** (5 when live) (remember meatloaf.de) Midnight ... **** (5 when live, (live around the world & various bootlegs) WOlf at your door ***** Keep Driving **** Promised Land ***** You Never Can Be Too ****** Priscila ** Don't You Look At Me **** (sometimes 5) If You Really Want To **** Fallen Angel *** WARNING!! This is not like BAT OUT OF HELL, its a standard rock album, on par with those big bands that did an album really well and recorded another and was still great but didn't live up to speed. This one can and often does, I like to drink to this. Some nice classic rockers in here. This is not like BAT OUT OF HELL!
