Faster Than The Speed Of Night (1983)
Distinctive vocals, that’s for sure. But my overall displeasure at the musical results is just as distinct.
There’s one great female-Meatloaf-ian song (no, not the “I’d do anything for love…” one), but most of it is just embarrassing and/or head-shaking and giggle-producing.
And it’s covers plus hired songwriting; nothing from Ms. Tyler. I *hate* that.
“I’m livin’ in a powder keg and kickin’up sparks…” *blazingly defiant, energy coursing through me, shown in my eyes and crooked smile*
Mine’s better :P
