it's rock & roll that got smaller. Even with grandiosity back in fashion (the Killers, My Chemical Romance), you can bet that this Texas-bred,Broadway-on-steroids rock Pavarotti's voice and sensibility will still be too ginormous for the cool part of the room. But there are moments on Bat Out of Hell III to convince even die-hard minimalists that behemoth is better. ''Blind as a Bat,'' for one, single-handedly redeems the powerballad, with Meat Loaf delivering his most impassioned vocals since the original Bat in 1977, skillfully crescendoing from feminine quiver to full Opera Boy blast. Armed with a great forgiveness-begging chorus(''Your love is blind, blind as a bat/Your heart is kind, mine's painted black''), Meat Loaf doesn't just aim at the back row; he goes for — and hits — back rows three states away.
