Originally created by Jim Steinman, this album is a conceptual work that revolves around the history of Peter Pan, reaching the status of opera rock with a Baroque epic Wagnerian that makes it an absolute masterpiece.
With a superb and bombastic production, the magnificent voice of Meat Loaf is what gives credibility to this fantastic work, in which the production of Todd Rundgren plays an essential role, providing the ideal setting for the bombastic ideas of the genius Steinman and the dramatic interpretation of Meat Loaf.
Songs of more than eight minutes in length, with rhythmic, melodic, complex and versatile schemes, are mixed with other more direct and easily assimilated ones, which achieve the perfect balance.
The rhythm changes are abundant as we can hear in the ten minutes of the song that gives the album its title or in "Paradise By The Dashboard", or leave us mired in ballads like the beautiful "Two Out Of Three Ain´t Bad".
The album would reach the chilling figure of over 14 million copies sold, remaining on the charts for no less than 471 consecutive weeks.
