"Life is a Lemon..." is amazing. The album is really frontloaded, though, and should probably just end at "Objects..." - which would still make it 50+ mins!

Oh, the album is definitely frontloaded - it's difficult to disagree with that, but I still prefer this to the first Bat Out of Hell because it's more excessive, more over-the-top and darker, too.

I'll bet Muse have this album in their record collections - the intro to 'Out of the Frying Pan' struck me as being quite Muse-like.

This is the album that I think Noel Gallagher thought he was making with Oasis in 1996/1997 until the coke wore off and he realised he'd made Be Here Now instead. Every song a fucking epic.

Man, 'It Just Won't Quit' is stunning... it starts off quietly enough and then just piles on hook after hook.
