Bad Attitude (album)

Bad Attitude (English for " bad attitude " ') is the fourth studio album by the American rock singer Meat Loaf, which is produced in England and was published in 1984 as the successor to Midnight at the Lost and Found.

Background

In the U.S., the album by label RCA Records was first published in April 1985 with a slightly altered track list and alternate mixes of some songs. It contains two songs by Jim Steinman, both previously recorded at an earlier date, as well as a duet with Roger Daltrey. According to Meat Loaf 's autobiography, he asked Jim Steinman to write the whole album, but the wait for new songs ended in a long waiting time, which is why Meat Loaf recorded two previously published songs by Jim Steinman and went on with other songwriters. Worldwide the album sold about 300,000 copies. Two singles were released from the album decoupled: Modern Girl, which became a hit in the U.S., and nowhere fast.
