PANDORA'S BOX Original Sin
Virgin/EMI (2006)
The guise for this 1990 album was effectively a solo album by songwriter and Meatloaf collaborator Jim Steinman.
The album continues in the same grandiose big production format you’d expect from Bat Out Of Hell, with orchestration, female choruses, vocal harmonies, operatic hard rock.
The excellent 'It’s All Coming Back To Me Now' was also a hit for Celine Dion.
'Twentieth Century Fox' hints at 80s power pop/pretend rock. 'Safe Sex' hints at Mike/Mechanics too.
If you like it grandiose and epic, this is the album. Comes with a bonus DVD of videos et al.
