You're probably better off with this:

the "let me sleep on it" segment has always been one of the most excruciating passages in rock history

otm. I like the album but that fucking segment makes the song feel 20 minutes long and sucks

Bat out of Hell was a formative album for me but I basically always skip "Paradise" entirely

It will grow weary in a few weeks and you will never listen to it again. but till then it RAWKS.

This turned out to be a largely accurate prediction.

According to Meat Loaf's autobiography, Davis commented that "actors don't make records" and challenged Steinman's writing abilities and knowledge of rock music:

Do you know how to write a song? Do you know anything about writing? If you're going to write for records, it goes like this: A, B, C, B, C, C. I don't know what you're doing. You're doing A, D, F, G, B, D, C. You don't know how to write a song.... Have you ever listened to pop music? Have you ever heard any rock-and-roll music.... You should go downstairs when you leave here...and buy some rock-and-roll records.[18]

Meat Loaf asserts "Jim, at the time, knew every record ever made. [He] is a walking rock encyclopedia." Although Steinman laughed off the insults, the singer screamed "Fuck you, Clive!" from the street up to his building.[19]
