Pow, Pow Pow, CA Power cricket bat

Advantages: Good weight, durable, Higher middle, good value
Disadvantages: protective cover can crack on the bat edges

...Like the pick up, for a 2.14lb bat it really does feel lighter than it should. This is mainly thanks to the way the bat is made, I take my hat off to the manufacturer for doing a fine job in that regard. The weight is a perfect balance, it is heavy enough to generate the power you need to get maximum value for your shots without compromising speed and maneuverability to deal with those difficult deliveries such as a fierce yorker which simply needs to be dug out. The weight is perfect to facilitate a full range of shots from cutting and pulling short deliveries to cover driving and playing short sharp shots such as the leg glance. The bat does not hamper any shot play. But the higher middle does lend itself towards driving. There is generally more power generated, the key is the timing it really is a stroke makers bat, rather than...

Bat Out Of Hell - Truly Amazing!

Advantages: Just a fantastic rock album!
Disadvantages: None!

...Bat Out Of Hell is an album, which was released by Meat Loaf in October 1977. The album contains 7 songs and is 46:33 long. The songs were produced and written by Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren. It is the the third best-selling album worldwide - which gives you an idea of just how fantastic it truly is! 1. Bat Out Of Hell (9:48) 2. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (5:04) 3. Heaven Can't Wait (4:38) 4. All Revved Up With No Place To Go (4:19) 5. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (5:23) 6. Paradise By The Dashboard Light (8:28) 7. For Crying Out Loud (5:45) I'd heard my brother and dad saying how good Meat Loaf was, but as i didn't really like alot of the music that they do, i thought he would just be another one of these people who scream songs and you can't tell a word that they are saying. Upon listening to the 'Bat Out...

beast of a bat

Advantages: a really nice middle
Disadvantages: Kashmir Willow

...LOOKS This Bat in my view is one of the best looking bats around and has not got to much pictures on the bat like the Kookaburra angry beast. I think the blue and red go very well together and really look good. Even the grip fits in with the style having blue slashes on it done by "the beast". The beast itself is not overdone but it still noticeable from a distance. I think the fact that the wood is unbleached giving it a more white effect looks better for it's style than a darker wood. I love the looks because you can really show the bat off and not worry about being seen bating with it. POWER The middle on this bat is awesome you can hit a cricket ball miles and you really know when you have caught it right. As for the bat itself it is very forgiving of bad shots and has a lot of power. The bat has great power considering it is...

Bat Out Of Hell - Great Eardrum Exercise

Advantages: Iconic album, brilliant songs, awesome voice.
Disadvantages: Not everyones taste, maybe too much disparity in song types for just 7 songs.

...Introduction Bat out of Hell is the third best selling album of all time, behind Thriller and Back In Black, and here's why I think that might be... I first heard the song Bat Out Of Hell eight years ago, when I was only ten, and didn't think that much to it. What I didn't realise however, was what I had heard on the free Daily Mail CD of Power Ballads, was an awfully watered down and pitifully edited four minute version of the song. I soon came to realise that Bat Out Of Hell was only to be listened to if you have the original edit, and ten minutes to spare, when my dad delved into his dusty record collection and cranked up the volume on his old player, just to prove that what I had listened to was not what Meat Loaf intended to be heard, and I quickly disposed of the god awful free CD. So I sat and listened, and thought the song...

Hells Bells - Like a Bat out of Hell

Advantages: An absolute classic album
Disadvantages: None

...Is it really thirty years since this album was originally released ?(well coming up for 29 to be precise becasue it was originally released on 21 October 1977). This is rightly rated as one of the greatest albums ever produced, and despite their only being seven tracks on the album, each of them is quite lengthy in nature. This is definitely a case of quality and quantity. If there is anybody out there who has never heard of Meatloaf, or have only grown up with the later stuff such as I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that) then you haven't lived. This is the ultimate in classic rock, and there really isn't a weak track on the album. Bat out of Hell is Meatloafs (aka Marvin Lee Aday) second album and by far his most successful. The artwork on the album cover is second to none and depicts a motorbike riding off like a bat...

Review of Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf

Like a bat out of CIAO

Advantages: Full of classic songs, The man is superb
Disadvantages: Could have added a few more tracks maybe

...Oh well, I thought I would try my hand at writing a review about a music CD for once, I have avoided this, as although I like to listen to music, I seem to struggle actually writing opinions on it, I guess it down to my limited musical terms vocabulary or something DOH, so here goes. Meatloaf, you either love him or hate him, I personally love him (well not literary if you know what I mean), he has got to go down as one of the most expressive and hard-working rock legends out there, I mean have you ever seen him perform, the guy puts everything into it. Anyway, I have owned the “Bat out of Hell” CD for many a year, and have to say it is one of my all-time favourites, it was actually first released in the late 70’s but is absolutely age-less and every track is written the famous music writer, Jim Steinman, who has...

Review of Bat Out Of Hell [Remastered] - Meat Loaf

Where Batman Began

Advantages: Overall Excellent
Disadvantages: Under-appreciated

...I?ve reviewed a fair amount of old black and white films on this site and if you?re to take a quick glance through you?d be forgiven for thinking that I generally don?t like them. However, even though I rate them low I do like a lot of them personally but I rate them more on how what they deserve relative to other films and what I think the vast majority of people will like. Another reason why I?ve rated so many badly is I simply have a lot more to say about films I don?t like or films that aren?t any good than films I do like. The Bat is probably the oldest film I?ve reviewed so far, being made in 1926, and I just had to write a review because of how good it was and completely against the grain of pathetic, half-assed mystery/horror films it is. It?s not a ?so-bad-it?s-good? film. It?s just an overall truly excellent film. The opening...

H & B CA-5555 Car MP3 Player - One of the best

Advantages: Plays MP3s via USB port and SD memory card
Disadvantages: None

...CA-5555 Car Audio MP3 Player The CD has a standard fitting and it was very easy to fit into my Ford Mondeo Mrk1. A cage is provided to facilitate the fitting. You also get a set of removal keys to help with the removal of the unit if you need to do that. The ISO connector provided makes the connection to the audio speakers a piece of cake provide you get the correct wiring harness for your car if the car has not got an ISO connector. I rewired mine and all I had to provide was the +12Volt (permanent to battery) , switched +12Volt (Ignition Key) and Ground.The other connections were the 8 wires for the 4 speakers. If your car has an ISO connector you just plug it in ... as easy as that. There is connectors for a preamp connection and a subwoofer if you need them. Also a Mobile Mute facility (the audio is muted when the mobile is...

Review of H & B CA-5555Car

The bats are out again

Advantages: Great music and lyrics, well written and performed
Disadvantages: Songs tend to be a bit long

...While the Bay City Rollers have always been my favorite group, I love Meat Loaf too. I know these acts are so different from each other that it can be really hard to believe that anyone could like both. So go ahead and call me crazy. I don?t know if I can put my finger on any one quality that Meat Loaf has that I like about his music any more than I could about the Bay City Rollers. For me, it?s a combination of things. I like hard rock anyway, especially since some the best rock bands, like Heart, comes out of Seattle and I just live on the other side of the state in Spokane. But I digress. What I like about Meat Loaf is that he can be so hard rock in a song and in that same song do this about face and the song becomes slower, kind of tender and, well, sometimes almost loving. I particularly like Meat Loaf?s CD, Bat of Hell...
