I'll copy & paste what I told Riff Raff:
You know what; I'm on the fence about recommending it. I mean, I'd say check it out, but do so before you buy it. I've seen a lot of hate for it the past week and very little positive, but I'm enjoying it - it might have helped that I had low expectations after so much negative feedback. The fact is, Meat does not sound very good, but I think the songs are good and the female vocals lift the album. So, an enjoyable album imo, but not quite a Meat Loaf classic.
Anyway, I had a bit of luck today. Found the following two albums at the local electronic market's bargain bin. Both came out in June this year and I've been meaning to get both since, but never got around to it. Now I'm glad I waited, as I paid 10 euro for both.
Garbage - Strange Little Birds
The Kills - Ash & Ice
