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

background

In the USA, the album was only released by RCA Records in April 1985 with a slightly changed track list and alternative mixes of some songs. It includes two songs by Jim Steinman , both recorded earlier, and a duet with Roger Daltrey . According to Meat Loaf's autobiography , he asked Jim Steinman to write the entire album, but the wait for new songs finally seemed too long, so Meat Loaf recorded two previously released songs by Jim Steinman and continued with other songwriters. The album sold around 300,000 times worldwide.
