Hysteria

didn't like it

Meg

2.4

Not a big fan of this album. 1 stand out track.

Ehhh

Certainly not bad for a hair metal album. As I've often found with these sorts of albums, you'll have a small number of terrific songs, and then a large amount of filler that tends to blur together. I concede that the 'filler' on this album is of a higher quality, but still, very few tracks standing out to me beyond the ones you'd expect, e.g. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Hysteria".

Rätt kass alltså

Not my cup of tea. 80s hair rock gets super repetitive!

1:orna behöver sparas till sämre grejer, men det här var riktigt mjäkig rock.

WAYYYY too long. Five minutes was pushing it. I've always hair metal and this album didn't change that in the slightest. Oh! And every song sound the same. Generally just such a terrible experience. Thumbs way down.

Genuinely terrible, couldn't even finish it

So boring. This is not for me.

Review - argh hair metal is all bad there are no good hair metal albums the defining features of hair metal are inherently dislikeable arghhhh. Cool they kept the one armed drummer though. Score - 2.5/10 Need to listen? NO

I never minded listening to anything by them and today I learnt how right I was. I expected some copycats of the hard rock of Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath (but 10-15 years too late) but this album is actually much worse: here we are rather in the neighborhood of Bon Jovi... This leopard is lucky to be deaf because the music is shite

Now, I'm not a big fan of heavy metal, especially not of lightweight hair metal. And this has all the worst features of those genres coupled with excessive production. I did listen to the whole thing. I don't think this is an album I needed to hear.

I mean it's cool you can drum with one arm but that's the only cool thing about this album

A star for each arm the drummer has.

I cannot believe there's people out there that like this. What is going on with the world. All respect to the one armed drummer though Will I listen to again: 0%

I'm sure this probably says a lot more about me than it does about the music, but I hate it when everyone in a room sings along to a song they all know. One time, my wife brought me to some sort of dueling piano bar where everyone would drink and sing along to songs like Tiny Dancer and Piano Man and stuff like that and it just made my skin crawl. I told her wasn't feeling well and had to go to the bathroom and I just went outside and sat in the cold. In January. In Canada. I couldn't even sit in the lobby. Arena Rock pushes the same buttons for me. I'm sure I heard a piano version of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" that night.

Ok, another old man rant...I suppose if I had been nearer 13 rather than 30 and never heard any real music when this lot peaked I may have been able to say "Armageddon It." I didn't then and I'm still not. They were successful enough though so it must have meant something to many. Just leaves me cold though. Have to admit this is the first album I have skipped through several tracks - I have heard (and hated) them enough before to know I would happily die without having to hear any of this again. Come back Joni, all is forgiven!

Hilarious, and I think I'm laughing AT them, not WITH them? Yer man is very horny, but doesn't really have many words to express it. Special mention for 'Gods of War', a rare venture away from his pants into 'political' introspection, with guest lyrics by a small child. My high(low)light was definitely 'Love Bites', in which an existential crisis arrives for the singer in the form of catching his own eye in a mirror while fucking. Truly abysmal.

Not a fan

I just can’t stand Def Leppard

SEVEN SINGLES‽ There were SEVEN singles from this album? Are you kidding me‽ And “Women” — an altogether terrible song (“Skin on skin/Let the love begin”) — was the SECOND single? Really? If there’s one thing the music industry does best, it’s pummel us with a band’s underserving follow-up to their big hit album (in this case, PYROMANIA). Whatever good will I may have felt towards some of these catchy songs, it’s all been beaten out of me by rock and 80s radio playing these songs to death. The entire thing is an overproduced, bloated mess. Every track is too long. This album’s more than 62 minutes long and could easily lose 20 minutes.

This is some good old bad music. Great move to keep the drummer who lost an arm, that’s awesome of them. That’s the only compliment I really have of this album, that they weren’t mean to their drummer. The songwriting is so dated, the songs are so boring, the lyrics suck, everything about this is bad.

Rough one for me. I made it through. This is just not my genre.

i can’t do hair metal for over an hour man

Disappointing.

Utterly soulless.

The first time I ever heard a Def Leppard song was in a movie during a scene in a strip club (the song playing was, to no one's shock, "Pour Some Sugar on Me"). I think that story encapsulates my feeling towards this album. Its too cocky (pun intended), overproduced, far too long, and I required a cold shower afterwards. If you like it, hey, good for you. But I wouldn't be caught within 10 feet of a strip club, and I wouldn't be caught listening to this album ever again.

Oh dear. Absolutely terrible. Formulaic, predictable, pish.

From Apple Music’s information about this album: ‘Pyromania had infused the group’s metal anthems with an expansive pop sheen, and here they sought to channel an even wider range of influences into their sound.’ If this is them adding a range of influences to their sound then I dread to think what them playing it safe would sound like.

Absolute dogshit - like Spin̈al Tap made manifest. Hated the guitar tone, hated every middle 8, hated the guitar pick slides that were thrown in, hated the china cymbals being massively overplayed, hated the lyrics (“Skin on skin, let the love begin. Women”). Just all around awfulness.

Ville heller hørt ALT annet. HATER denne skiva. HATER dette bandet.

It's not necessarily *that* awful, I just wanted it to end as soon as possible and never want to hear it again.

Lowest common denominator hair-based shitrock of the most MOTR kind. How the actual chuff is on anyone’s list of anything that doesn’t start “The Worst…” is beyond me. I resent this album and all who scooped it out of the afterbirth of early 90s bilge rock 🤮🤮🤮

I love the genre but this album sounds like shit

Me aburrió bastante, sobre todo la segunda mitad, pero definitivamente podría ser peor. Varias de sus canciones me aburren durante los estribillos pero me gustan más en sus versos, como Love Bites. Mi favorito, como parece ser el de todos según las reproducciones de Spotify, Hysteria, cuyo punteo me parece muy lindo, pero diría que es mi preferido sólo por eso. En general, no está mal pero no es mi estilo y no lo escucharía de nuevo.

I'm almost 800 albums in on this thing, and this might be the album I've struggled to get through the most. My heart sank when I saw it was over an hour long. Glam metal is probably my least favorite music genre. Vapid and uninteresting.

This is awful. Dreadful AOR....very suitable for the US market of the time. Good production though.

Starts with a power ballad, never improves. Of course, I knew every song so part of my problem is the ubiquity of this album. One more year to Appetite!

i listened to and liked this as a child. here's what nice thing i have to say: this is probably one of the best albums of a terrible genre in a terrible time in music. this music is not good. I apologize to my youth self.

Meh

Ugh, no thank you

Lige lovlig meget hår i det metal.

Unrelenting dogshit. Morrissey is more subversive and Belle and Sebastian rock harder than this

The hottest of hot garbage.

Yuck. Some of the dumbest lyrics around (Woman - really?) and formulaic cock rock. A chore to get through.

Makes me think of old movies and feel nostalgic for an older time I wasn't alive for. Overall generic fucking dogshit garbage that I wanted to turn off halfway through the first song. A full hour is ridiculous.

metal with the energy of Celine Dion. objectively speaking, on a technical level, this is musical diarrhea.

I have to agree with Robby, Def Leppard Sucks! If someone told me they made this album specifically to annoy me I would believe them. I hate the singer, I hate group chanted vocals, I hate when rock music is overproduced. This album has all those things! On top of that, every song is three minutes too long, making for a bloated turd of an album. Dear god I hope this is the only album by these dorks on this list.

Really cheesy and over-produced. Hard to believe that the band came out of the gritty, steely, grey Sheffield terraced houses - feels like this was born straight out of a sleazy LA studio. This is an album you either adore or despise. I'm definitely the latter. Best Tracks: - Run Riot - Hysteria Worst Tracks: - Don't Shoot Shot Gun - Pour Some Sugar On Me Rating: 2/10

Das ist doch ein KI-Fake. So klingt doch keine Rockband aus Fleisch und Blut.

Horrible

literal garbage - corny, generic, way too long

i think this might be top 5 worst genres ever conceived

Get out

Probably more like a 2 but it annoyed the hell out of me so like

One small step for corny hairmetal - a giant leap off the edge for all of music

I despise this kind of music. The fact that this is over an hour long is just… The awful vocals, the corny lyrics, the reverb on the drums, everything about this is bad.

Shit, couldn't make myself to listen to it fully

Rendyrka glam rock. Helt forferdelig for meg. Føles falsk, for meg.

Excellent example of 20th century AI as anyone who has ever gone head over heels at the speed of light would immediately guess. Some well executed heavy rock with a nod to pop. As disposable now as it was when it came out, crowding talented and constructive artists from the market.

I basically had 1 star in mind when I pulled this. I hated Def Leppard as a kid. To me they were so boring, just a slog of a band in a genre that’s supposed to be fun and stupid. Having listened to it now as an adult…. It fucking sucks. Okay the only positive is the production is excellent. Other than that how can anyone like this crap. The hair metal ballad might be the worst type of song in existence.

Stupid cock rock

This would be awesome if I was black out drunk at a frat party.

God awful lyrics. God awful guitar tone. Embodies all the worst things about 80s rock

"One part lover, one part child" what did he mean by this anyway this just doesn't hit the same when it's not being blasted over the speakers on the Gravitron

Not only are all these songs cheesy, they also suck.

Listened to half thought it was worth 2 stars. Listened to the 2nd half, went to the trouble of getting an email to allow me to edit my score. 1 star

This is tiresome stuff. The uk equivalent to the hair metal bands if the 80s. Yet the singles are good (animal and pour some sugar on me). The rest is not worth anybodies time unless they have it to waste.

Overheard my brother play Def Leppard a lot - one star.

*vocals are screaming, instrumentals are loud and banging, hard to define as music, definitely not veil to listen to.

Genuinely terrible in every way

80's hair rock in it's purest form. Some would take this as a very good thing. I am not that someone. Van Halen without energy. Toto without Toto. Frat boys gone "hard". I hated them in the 80's. I was hoping that 40ish years later I'd come back with fresh ears and find what I was missing. I was missing nothing. It was bad then and aged poorly. This brought a visceral skin crawling sense of disgust and ick from beginning to end. Keep your simple syrup to yourself, Def Leppard, that's not hot.

Ass.

I really dont enjoy most of what came out in the 80s, this Included. All of the quintessential 80s tropes just don’t do it for me. It’s a fine album but I don’t enjoy anything about it.

Meh

All sounds the same

God awful, all the songs sound the same. Hair rock would have to be the worst sub genre.

This just sucks. I dislike everything about it. If AI made a rock album I suspect it'd sound like this. It just feels soulless. I guess the saving grace is that it is exactly how they wanted it to sound, so it's not like a good band that just made a bad recording. I hate the drum sound, the production, the guitar sounds, the guitar playing, the fact that it's like heavy rock with all the heavy bits removed, I dislike the vocals, the backing vocals and just how it makes me feel in general. Interestingly it has clearly influenced a bunch of things I do like and I was trying to figure out why I liked them. Some of them had better guitar parts, or at least parts that are played more naturally and not mixed to sound sterile. Also though I'm not sure there is a song on this album that doesn't lumber along at about 104bpm. It's so slow. There is no upbeat number, just naff big plodding snare hits with canyon reverb on. Gah.

What is this album doing on THIS list? Seriously?? It was trash then and it’s trash now. The non-popular songs are awful, as are the popular ones.

proto butt rock. 👎

Eu tenho muita dificuldade com esses arena rock da década de 80 super produzidos. A menos que haja alguma memória afetiva, é realmente difícil eu gostar. Dito isso, nunca vi muita graça em Def Leppard e assim sigo. Achei um disco longo e plástico que não me acrescentou muita coisa, nem mesmo pra compreender esse tipo de sonoridade.

I was pretty familiar with more than half of these songs, which is testament to their popularity in 1989 and 1990. I'm not sure if I've heard any of them since 1995, which is testament to their staying power. Cheese metal perfected.

What tripe and what a waste of time

Heavy metal is hard to listen to or appreciate the talent of the musicians for me. I did listen to at least half a song but sadly this sound is not for my ears.

Can't stand this.

"Hard" hair rock. Seems counter intuitive. Purposely misspelling the name to be "less punk" confuses me. Pour Some Sugar on Me is truly a shit song. The lyrics are so juvenile and lame.

I only made it through 2 songs. Really hated this.

I’m so happy hair metal days are over…

made me sad. the musical equivalent of being forced to sing happy birthday to a coworker on your lunch break. a lame attempt to manufacture excitement from nothing. unearned and uncalled for. empty. forced. probably fun for a fleeting moment for those who don't know any better. i expected to dislike this, but i didn't expect it to be so boring. the "hooks" don't work. the songs are too long. rot. or if i'm more charitable, music to have a dalliance with at fourteen, but to move on from once you realize there's a big, beautiful, genuine world out there.

Well, it happened. I thought that chocolate cake would remain on the bottom for me throughout this experience but hysteria is the worst album. I’ve heard so far on this list the whole 62 minutes and 32 seconds feels like parody to me. I get that this was pop back in the day, but even for pop music These songs are just silly. I ended up listening to this album twice hoping that my first impression was just some type of Grammy shell shock but the second lesson was worse than the first this fucking singer man. So some backstory, I used to work a karaoke night at a really shitty bar in the suburbs my dad had a DJ company and he got the gig and the place was too trashy for him so I took over night after night. Pour some sugar on me would be sung multiple times tonight actually and it was an immediate excuse to get downright gross clientele there we’re all coheads And racist and had that special meth allure. Miley saving Grace on these karaoke nights was a little old woman who would come in dressed, had to toe and pink cowgirl outfit she would come in and request. These boots are made for walking by Nancy Sinatra. She would sing it. Everyone would share she’d walk right out. I loved her. She was the best I drinking years were haunted by this. Pour some Sugar over me song coyote, ugly come out, and I think it revitalize this trash heap. Song became a Q for everyone in a bar to fake the sexiest. I remember one time I was at Joe’s on weed and the song came on. Everyone’s backs turned and they screaming at the stage the DJ playing it. I took advantage of the moment and started drinking everyone’s beers behind their back because I was broke and then I urinated in a garbage can None the wiser that’s what I think I was pretty drunk. I get why this band exist. I understand why the album was made. These guys are just getting paid. My mom and my aunt’s all we put on Def Leppard. I get it not hating on the band not judging anyone who likes the band teach their own but why the fuck was this album on this 1001 list. Why do I need to hear this album before I die? What was significant substantial innovative about this Chazy ass album. God of war has a decent beginning, and I started to become optimistic that there might be some hidden gems, but I was wrong. The song quickly jumped right back into the same formula. I think the reason I’m so mad at them and so mad that I had to hear this is I’m such a fan of reversing audio And making audio interesting by stretching it and time warping it and their use of that effect throughout this album, it is so on the surface like they took away form highlighted it clicked reverse, and left it weird effect man, this is some trippy shit. Congrats hysteria you are my least favorite album so far

Just… horrible. Truly, I’m unsure if there’s an album in existance that represents more of what I hate in music. I thought about making a list of everything I hate, but it’s more effective to express one sentiment - when I listened to this, my mind wandered to those in my life I hate most loving this shit.

No.

oh my god i didn't know i didn't like def leppard AT ALL. sheeeeesh.

Hysteria sounds like every musical idea and recording they had was fed back into a machine and sythesized so many times that the end result is a blur of 80's hair rock, with no clear definition, thoughtfullness or soul. Hysteria is everything that sucks about 80's music and a lot of 80's pop culture. If anyone listens to Sonic Youth and asks "why?!" I'll show them Hysteria.

notttt my type of music

Hair rock balladeers are like stupid chotchkies sold on late night TV. Cute, amusing, and maybe a bit entertaining. At the end of the day, it all ends up at Goodwill or the landfill. Such is Def Leppard.

Bro it didn’t save my review I wrote but this is just bland hard rock that’s really hard to take seriously. Lyrical content is garbage and musical content has much to gain. Edit: (2->1) Calling this album a piece of garbage would be a compliment to this album in my eyes.

Def Leppard was a pedestrian band at best. They had one sound, no variations, no real talent. Hated them then, and I hate them even more now.

Turgid and unimaginative. And LOOOOOONG.

This was bad. Everything that irked me about this ban, and the rest of its genre, is on this album.

Oof this was a slog. Barely a 2, maybe a 1 if I'm annoyed on Monday. Happy Monday!

dogshit retard music thats literally only on here because of pour some sugar on me

3/10

I know why they spelled their name wrong: they're barely literate. I usually avoid hair metal but I'm performing my duty of listening to "500 necessary albums and 501 mediocre/poor/absolutely shithouse British albums from '80s and '90s." (You can see why they renamed it..too wordy) What I didn't realise is that when you dig beneath the cliches and hairspray is that they have produced the most inane lyrics of all time. Love Bites is meant to be a song of tortured love. But any 10-year old would be embarrassed. Truly laughably awful album. Aaaannnd it's long. FML.

Awful. Just plain, awful cock rock

Couldn’t wait for this album to end

Let’s just say this didn’t leave me in a hysteria.

Heel taai. 2/10

This might be a tad better than its predecessor, Pyromania, but it's still generic hair metal. It should've stayed where it belongs to: the '80s.

Classic rock at its very worst. It's not the worst album to listen to but its such an incredibly uncreative and boring record. The hit songs are all overplayed to the point of being grating to the ears and the deep cuts have nothing interesting buried in the album. I've listened to less enjoyable albums but none are as bland or undeserving of being on the list as this one. If you want cliché 1987 hair metal you're better off with Whitesnake or Guns 'N Roses.

Shit album and band as a whole.

Pour some sugar on this shit cause it ain't sweet... kinda boring

slick, gaudy and utterly vacuous

I already know the title track and Pour some sugar on me. -Highlights: Women, Rocket, Love bites -Armaggedon It,Run Riot and Hysteria were fine -Some of the tracks get overly goofy and "dramatic" at times or take themselves to seriously -Suffers of glam metal syndrome -Overall, it's fine for a glam metal album, if you like the classic glam metal sound you'd probably love this album. 3.7/10

siis tiesinhän toki että en mikään leppard fani ole mutta mitä helveTTIÄ on tämä??? aivan vitun peppukuolaa koko albumi. erityisesti vokaalit ovat niin vitun väkisin vängättyjä.. . tämä on musiikkia 50 äo australialaisille insesti punaniskoille. semmosille jotka eivät syö paskaa vaan laittaa suuhun ja maiskuttelee ja lipoilee sitä paskaa suussa kieli käy ympyrää siellä suussa kokoajan rikkoo paskaa paloiksi sillä kielellä suussa pureskelee ja 50/50 että nielaiseeko. tunnin verran laitoin salapoliisihatun päähän ja suurennuslasin silmälle enkä löytänyt yhtä vitun hyvää asiaa tästä albumista. brittipojat larppaa amerikkalaisia, pitäis ampua vittu päähän, aseella. excitable

This sucks. Absolutely infuriating inclusion on this list. Bland garbage best forgotten.

Literally no band outside of the hair metal genre has cited Def Leppard as a massive influence in the nearly 40 years this album had existed. Yes, it had radio singles. Yes, their drummer lost an arm. Yes, this sucks as big and loud as it could legally suck.

Doing an album a day has really solidified how this is not my type of music. I sigh every time I get a hard rock band.

Thriller-esque these nuts. this shit sucks.

Def Leppard is trash

Awful cheesy shite

no sta roba non riesco proprio ad ascoltarla

More than once I found myself checking back on my app thinking the album ended and it started playing Guns 'n Roses (derogatory), only to find out it was still in fact Hysteria by Def Leppard. This album is too long and does not nearly do enough to deserve the length. First 5 songs are alright and the rest is completely forgettable.

Couldn’t get past 3 or 4 songs. Garbage.

There are only two hair metal bands that I find acceptable: Van Halen (bc Eddie may he rest in peace) and Bon Jovi cause they have some actually good songs. Def Leppard is not one of them. This album and this band is ridiculous and just awful. This is neither metal nor hard rock it’s just some pop artists who think they know rock. It’s quite disgusting. All of their songs sound the exact same. All of their lyrics are just about girls, sex, partying, and drinking. Dudes really have a one track mind. Musically they all sound the same. EXACT SAME. Some might say oH bUt ThEy HaD sEvEn SiNgLeS. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE IMPRESSED BY THAT? Seven carbon copy singles. Big freaking whoop. This band is a disgrace to anything resembling rock, they’re absolute trash and deserve no place on this list.

Ah fuck off with this trash.

Do I really have to listen to a whole HOUR of this? I'm not even halfway through the first song and I'm cringing hard. "WOMEN - mEn CAnT LiVe wITouT eM!" Good God. I actually have to switch to headphones, because I'm worried my neighbours will hear me listening to this utter shite. Rocket sounds like exactly the same song as the first, but over SIX minutes long. Do I sense a formula here? Animal isn't actually a bad song, if you ignore how gross and creepy the lyrics are. Is there some sort of deeper meaning here, or are Def Leppard advocating for a return to wanton barbarity? Maybe we'll never know. 'Love Bites' is about 5 mins and 47 seconds too long. That's all I've got for this one. 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' sounds like some sort of horrific love-child of Kiss and AC/DC attempting to record a cover of Led Zeppelin's Black Dog, purely based on a memory of someone describing it to them several years previously. Almost at the halfway point here, and oh God, the next song is a pun involving sex and the end of the world somehow...I think I'm going to have to pack it in. I think this will only be the second album I wasn't able to finish, the first being the Christina Aguilera one. This is the type of album where I feel like I have to listen to something incredible right afterwards, because, what if I died suddenly and THAT was the last album I listened to? In this case I thought for a few mins about what might be the antithesis of Hysteria by Def Leppard. I'm still not sure, but I've settled on Sufjan Stevens' "Javelin" for now.

Absolutely horrible

Awful cheesy rock

Production wise way more polished than Pyromania, but it sounds reconstituted and bloated. Songs sound the same, again. Overall: 2/10

I am dumbfounded by the high ratings given to this album. This is heavily produced garbage. The 80s were the worst thing to happen to the world: Reagan, Thatcher, day-glo clothes, coke, synthesizers, and hair metal. Barf.

Awesome thanks.

naja, mehr gewollt als gut

Just hate Def Lappard. Will not listen.

What Paul said….

ug

The worst of the "rock icons". The further behind we left this trash the better music became.

So outdated... I had never really listened to Def Leppard and I will never again.

Not great

I can fully admit that this doesn't suck as much as Pyromania. I still find it very difficult to listen to. Pop "metal" is just not a vibe I enjoy. From an enjoyment perspective, I'll call this a 1.5 (rounded down per protocol).

hair metal sucks. the music is bad, and the lyrics are even worse. def leppard cares more about their looks than their sound and it shows, as their music is repetitive, soulless, and just plain awful.

Not me

Please, I can't... When is this app going to give me something that's not insufferable?

i hope i can give zero stars, wtf was that?

This was mega popular and I didn't like it then. I hate it even moreso now. It's really vacuous and indulgent. Bleh!

nah i know this, it fucking sucks. i can tolerate metal and appreciate it, even though its not my thing, but this is way too overproduced and im impressed how this has a 3.40 average review. because its disguting the amount of layers of effects they introduce to the songs. 80s are cool and stuff but this is the kind of thing that makes me wanna puke whenever i need to listen to something made in the 80s.

Not a fan.

I once had the misfortune to witness the awful, dreary, third division Def Leppard live (I'd gone to see the band third on the bill). Back then, the drummer still had both arms. They were awful then, but this, this album is even worse. Dreadful.

Pure 80s trash, hated it when it came out still do

Definitely not a Def Leppard fan. Interesting personal note though. I had never connected the song Hysteria with the album. I was familiar with the song, didn’t know the title, and didn’t know what it was about.

yeah no. i can't take this music seriously. this is an easy one to cull from this list.

I was really hoping that this would be at the very least marginally easier to stomach than Pyromania was. It is in fact even more of a slog to listen to and get through. It's impressive to make something so boring and uninteresting and also give it such a needlessly long run time in the pre-CD era. It's absolutely mind boggling to me that this among the most sold albums of all time. After two records I now think that Def Leppard is perhaps the most boring and uninteresting and overrated band relative to "success" that there might be.

Terrible. I really struggled to finish it.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE THIS BAND SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR DEF LEPPARD. Yeah I really hate this band. It all sucks. HATE HATE HATE

"I don't want to touch you too much, baby 'Cause makin' love to you might drive me crazy"... This sounds like a vapid parody form start to finish, and it encapsulates everything I hate about 80s glam/hard rock music. For one full hour. 1 star for every arm on Rick Allen.

I definitely remember this band and a lot of the tracks from this album because it was released when I was about 20 or so, and it got a lot of airplay and dorm play. Didn't really do it for me back then. It's not bad, just holds no interest for me. Still have the same reaction today. Just not interested.

Nope. Hate hair metal

So bad. This kind of music is the only one that this project has not been able to shake me of my dislike for! I even enjoy some country now. But this. Man. Shit drum sounds. Shit lyrics. General shit ambiance. Doesn't come across any having any degree of legit human authenticity to it. Contrived bullshit designed to make them rich and popular with the ladies. I can't argue with their motivation, but it doesn't mean I want to hear the outcome!

Terrible, never liked it

Garbage. Ok, Pour Some Sugar on Me was a stripper hit. Overproduced garbage.

Maybe if i had heard this with fresh ears in 1987. The hair metal of the 80s were a joke and an example of lameness when I started listening to music. Nothing about listening to this album has changed my mind.

Boring

Going from the Beatles' *Abbey Road* to Def Leppard's *Hysteria* tells you everything you need to know about this app. The background vocals and chord changes between the verses and choruses are quite smart in a number of cuts ("Rocket" or "Love Bites" come to mind here), making this band an iconic one in this eighties hard-rock/pop metal subgenre. Too bad such subgenre is too damn cheesy and has aged horribly... if it wasn't *already* horrible when this album came out, that is. Number of albums left to review: 717 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 141 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 69 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 78 (including this one)

I didn't give the last Def Leppard LP a 1 because I thought the hit, "Photograph" wasn't a bad song. There is no such song on this album. In fact "Pour Some Sugar on Me" could be the worst song on the album.

Well we certainly have had some bad albums recently, but this one takes the cake. Someone mentioned this is pop trying to be heavy metal and that's a good description, but they should have also added that its shite. Everything about this starting from the horrible cover, inane lyrics and hackneyed guitar riffs and choruses scream CLICHE! Truly execrable.

Öde.

Second album for me from the auditory impaired felines. Hair metal was at it's peak in 1987 when this album was released. However, only a short 3 years later the genre would be swept off with derision into irrelevancy, to never re-appear or be resurrected in any significant way, except on a list of 1001 must listen albums. Other genres that similarly died out after over-saturating pop culture such as disco, new wave and punk, did eventually see somewhat of a resurgence in recent years, and continue to exert a viable influence on today's music, but not hair metal. That's not to say the genre didn't produce some legit and worthwhile music (mostly limited to G 'n R though), but I believe a list curated by professional music critics should do a better job of separating out chaff like this that may have topped the charts in it's time, but now is little more than nostalgia for those who once enjoyed it in their youth. Chart topper =/= quality. I'm too young to have lived through the hysteria of Def Leppard, and for that, I'm infinitely grateful. 1 glass of water to wash down the sugar rush. 🥛

Not my sort of thing

I let this wash over me like a bad background record in a lunchtime diner. It's desperately of its era and woefully short of redeeming features. An album that marked a period of time that has now passed.

Des siècles d'évolution musicale pour arriver à ça... Prefs: Hysteria? jsp tout est pourri Moins pref: Excitable pire chanson de tous les temps

My initial thought is that this is what you get when you try to put Bon Jovi together with about a quarter of the budget. It's so boring. Pop hard rock for the easy to please. I strongly suspect that if their drummer had been a better driver it wouldn't even be on this list, but that's the power of a good story, I guess.

A bit shit.

Sorry, nej, låter som all 80-talsrock/ett metoo-ärende

Music I'd tolerate playing on the radio or bar. But not my cup of tea.

Det här är det dåliga.

I never understand what reason anyone might have to pick this over music such as, say, Led Zeppelin’s. To me, Def Leppard always sounded like a vastly inferior wannabe.

Better than bon Jovi

Not my cup of 🫖

I loathe Def Leppard.

Best Song: Run Riot. Only because around the three minute mark there is a brief guitar solo that reminds you that music can be fun and interesting. Worst Song: Love Bites. Why this one over the dozen other nearly identical soulless entries? I don't know. They're all bad. Overall: This is a low water mark in rock music history. Def Leppard lacks the edge of other hair metal bands like Motley Crue, the vocal talent of groups like Boston who could actually pull off these kind of ballads, and the passion of literally any other band. The instrumentation is uninteresting. The vocals sound like sick cats stage whispering from the far end of a wind tunnel. The lyrics are so dumb they feel like parodies. "Don't Shoot Shot Gun"? Kill me.

could hardly make it through

Not my scene.

These songs don't need to be 5-6 minutes long. This album doesn't need to be an hour long. An hour of glam rock gets so repetitive that it becomes genuine torture and every flaw becomes more pronounced (The cheesy lyrics, weird song structures, overproduction..) Def Leppard, KISS, AC/DC, Mötley Crue, Bon Jovi... it's all the same, really. This is what people who exclusively listen to pop and hip-hop (nothing wrong with that) think all rock is like, because they heard it in their dad's car once. Glam rock is such an odd genre. Insert arm joke here.

Sorry musste nach der Hälfte abbrechen und hab dann nur noch in die nächsten reingehört, was ich dann als gute Entscheidung befunden habe. Erst Guns n' Roses und jetzt das ist einfach zu viel. 3/10

Wenn ich in einem Raum mit Bin Laden, Hitler und diesem Album wäre und 2 Kugeln hätte würde ich dieses Album 2 mal erschießen

ich hasse diese liste

extrem flach und schlecht, wie kann etwas so schlecht altern Wahnsinn

Sie haben es geschafft 10 minuten musik in 6 minuten zu komprimieren horror langweilig rentner musik

Not my thing at all. Rubbish

The ultra-80s production, the - at best - dated lyrics. This album was either singles I already knew - difficult to escape if you were around in 1987 - and hated, or album tracks not as good as the singles. Not everything that sells tens of millions of copies then needs to be listened to now - wonder if Englebert Humperdink, famously outselling the Beatles, will be on the list. As he can't be worse than Def Leppard.

I just can't. I started but I just can't go on. This is unremittingly appalling. And to think that there were people who bought this and listened to it more than once

I once fucked a deaf dumb and blind leopard while wandering through the Himalayas. I was very high on opium and self worth at the time.

SHACK must be stopped

I feel let down for Sheffield that these are from there. They've got a nice back catalogue of bands and then this tripe which is arguably the biggest band from the city. the most interesting thing abou def leppard is the one armed drummer, crashed his corvette on snake pass and lost an arm. i'd be impressed by that as a cool story but he did it overtaking so a bit of a dick move really.

nah

Wat is dit voor slappe midtempo hardrock!?

No i powrot na wyspy, a jak to zazwyczaj bywa z takimi powrotami, bywaja one dosc ciezkie, bo taki wlasnie jest album Hysteria glam metalowej, czy jak dla mnie raczej pop rokowej bandy prosto z Sheffield, ten krazek z 87 jest 4 w dyskografii zespolu, ktory tworzy pieciu czlonkow z panem Joe Elliott jako frontmenem, albumowe info nie wskazuje palcem na to zeby ktos z bandy tworzyl teksty, tylko wszyscy sa zlistowaniu jako autorzy, ale po odsluchu plyty, czlowiek jest pewny, ze nad tak popowymi tekstami musialy tegie glowy siedziec, bo plyta jest nagrana w taki sposob zeby sprzedac kazdy utwor z osobna, ale nie w ten sposob, ze kazdy jest na tyle unikatowy i czyms sie wyroznia, a wrecz przeciwnie, wszystko jest jednakowo mialkie, wiec o ile nawet w niektorych miejsach gitarki brzmia jakosciowo, jak na excitable, to jednak popowa kompozycja trakow brak jakiejkolwiek liryki, przewijajace sie do bolu chorkowania sprawiaja, ze glowa boli juz po kilku trakach, a plyta liczy ich az 12 z ponad godzinnym plej tajmem, wiec krotko nie jest, ale udalo sie sprzedac plyte, bo to z niej pochodza najbardziej sluchalne w naszych czasach piosenki zespolu z pour some sugar on me oraz tytulowa histeria, ktora jest takze moim plejkowym pickiem, dawno nie bylo albumu, ktory by cierpial na taka przypadlosc, grania w kolko tego samego i sztucznej doskonalosci nagrania, nie chodzi tylko o multitrakowe wokale, tak bardzo naduzywane, ale same instrumenty wydaja sie jak wziete z szafki sampelkowej przykladow okreslonych dzwiekow, moze pan producent Robert John "Mutt" Lange ma cos z tym wspolnego, bo jest on takze tworca sukcesu najbardziej sztucznie brzmiacych dla mnie zespolow, czyli nickelbacka i moroonow 5, czy ac/dc, po przesluchaniu histerii wylosowalo mi nastepny trak 20 century boya i tylko bardziej utwierdzilem sie w tym pisalem wyzej, bo ich muzyka brzmi po prostu nudno, wiec jak dla mnie zle

Este es uno de los peores discos que he escuchado en la vida y he escuchado mucha mierda.

Hard rock pop, buen sonido, buenos coros, nada muy espectacular

def leppard is god awful, i used to love this album too

Come on, seriously, High N' Dry is epic, this is TRASH

This is straight up garbage

Shit dad rock, awful

Just awful, hate this type of over produced hair metal. Didn't make it all the way through.

Demasiado rock

No puedo con este jevi

Easy listening/low bar, so I finished it, but not enjoyable by far.

I will never understand the unholy fusion of overdriven guitar, cheesy synths, barbershop-quartet vocals, and horny lyrics that is hair metal. Contains two of what are perhaps my least favorite songs of all time ('Love Bites' and 'Pour Some Sugar On Me')

Boooooo

Never liked the band
