Notes:

Braver Than We Are is the thirteenth studio album by American singer Meat Loaf, released in Europe on September 9, 2016 by Caroline International S&D and scheduled to be released in the United States on September 16, 2016 by 429 Records.

Meat Loaf first announced that he had begun working with Jim Steinman again on The Jonathan Ross Show in April 2013. "We've been communicating back and forth for the last six months every day by email," he explained to Jonathan Ross. At this time, Steinman was only contributing two songs to the album, though Meat Loaf was hoping he would contribute a third song. "We've cut three tracks, we're getting ready to cut three more, and then we'll hopefully cut three with Steinman." He had planned to begin working with Steinman in January 2014, with an expected release of September later that year. Ellen Foley and Karla DeVito were approached to record duets on the album.

The original title for the album was announced as Brave & Crazy, but was subsequently changed to Braver Than We Are, the title of a Jim Steinman composition which was rewritten and recorded for this album as "Going All the Way Is Just the Start". An Exclusive Edition of the album, sold at various chains like Target, Tesco and Media Markt will contain 3 exclusive bonus tracks. The same tracks will be included in the Japanese edition.
