* IndecisiveParody: There are split opinions on how much Music/BruceSpringsteen influenced the album and whether it was meant to be a parody. According to Jim Steinman, he only saw Springsteen as a partial inspiration and did not understand the constant comparison, whereas Music/ToddRundgren saw it as a parody of Springsteen. In the end, the resulting album was far more over the top than Springsteen's initial influence.
