Meat Loaf, Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Album review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. April 19th 2010.

Almost 40 years since his first foray into the music business, larger than life showman Meat Loaf has released his 11th studio album, bizarrely titled, Hang Cool Teddy Bear.

More importantly it the fourth studio album that the singer has had no collaboration with Jim Steinman, and in parts it shows that however much Meat Loaf is a talent in his own right, the one person who truly understands him and the best out of out of him is Steinman.

L.S. Media Rating **

When Meat Loaf released Hang Cool Teddy Bear in 2010, there was an element of joy that the man had released his greatest piece of work since 1993’s Bat out of Hell II. There were some real high’s to be found within the tracks and the posturing and good will extended with the addition of Patti Russo and Cher adding the class of feminine perspective to Meat’s tireless and overtly male mannerisms.
