Technisch goed, maar nummers boeien uiteindelijk niet genoeg. Teveel tussen AD/DC en Van Halen in.
Fun album
I want to like Def Leppard, I really do.
Previously reviewed this as a 4 as I don't believe this is their best album. It is a great album, but a 4 is sufficient.
It's just so stupid you have to love it. Mid tempo hard rock with solid riffs, precise leads, loads of hooks, and some insanely expensive sounding production. It's before my time so never really internalized this stuff, but can really see how it would become a ubiquitous deeply imprinted part of dumb guy culture.
I first heard this album when I was 12. It is so tied up in memories of my first 6th grade dance where not only did Michelle Zabka go, but she danced with me, and then I slept over my friend Cory’s house and we listened to “Foolin” about a million times. So, to make a long story short, can’t be terribly objective, here. But “Photograph” still rocks solid
10/10. Old school rock, very easy to listen to.
Patiently listened to the whole thing. Did not care for it. It was just... silly. No substance. I was thinking this was almost surely one of the albums I heard the counsellors playing at summer camp when I was 11 or 12.
This is what the eighties sounds like. A Classic Album and a fun listen,
Quick story of an encounter with Def Leppard, I used to live across the street from a racetrack, and there would be concerts there several times a year, my wife and I would sit in the front yard and listen to the shows often, even if we didn’t care for the artist(s) (we were close enough to hear the music and see the lights, but far enough that we could chat quietly while hanging). DL played there one time and we sat there and had a blast, it was mainly for the people watching - this was roughly 2013 and all the people who peaked 30 years earlier super stoked to see Def Leppard live was enjoyable. But, the show was solid for a bunch of aging rockers. This album had some moments where it is entertaining. It is never down right awful, but there are some pretty low points as well. I honestly don’t know what to think of this album. It is peak 80s glam/hair metal, a genre just pretty crappy in my opinion, but the reason this album is on here is because it is the definition of this genre. Is it almost a meme is it so comically glam rock / hair metal. Listening to this I can hear so many shitty 80s bands that were just carbon copies of each other; White Snake, Poison, Motley Crue, Ratt and so many others. For that reason, it belongs on the list, as a record for a sound that opened the airwaves of suburia for pretty much a decade. Thankfully a decade I am to young to fully remember, but 4.8/10 #63/1001
Better than hysteria. It was pretty good and I don't really like this band.
Photograph has a good tune, particularly in the chorus. The rest all sound the same for the most part, but good solo closing out Die Hard The Hunter. Comin' Under Fire is sexy. Cool start and end to Billy's Got A Gun.
80’s hair rock
Classic glam rock
I had definitely never heard this whole album. I knew all the hits, but there was some good stuff on here. It did all sort of sound the same toward the end, but I enjoyed it.
Beetje te
Really love the guitar solos! "Too Late For Love" and "Die Hard The Hunter" have some lovely passages; "Coming' Under Fire" as well. Some of the rock'n'roll is actually quite fun to listen to – I came to realize it isn't even really that over the top. Sick vocals. Was very pleasantly surprised! Someone's gonna kill me for this comment, but I thought that it would be awesome if Pink Floyd had made this album.
There are a few Def Leppard tracks I love (growing up in the 80s! However I couldn't find any of them on this album.
Ok, but doesn't light my fire - which I would expect it to given the title.
As entertaining as this album can be, there's only so much I can get out of this kind of music - at its core it is empty which is okay. That said, this album is about as much as I can ever see myself enjoying this genre.
Hair metal absolutely kills me. This is the early 80’s, yet I’m supposed to believe that the genre only hit self-parody at the end of the decade. I wasn’t alive in the 80’s, but to see old music videos of the likes of Dee Snider and Alice Cooper parading about, it already presented as parody of the self-serious stylings of the rock gods of the 70’s (Zep, Who, Aerosmith). Which is all to say, how the hell did anyone ever take bands like Def Leppard seriously. The songs are tedious. Really, how many numbers does a band truly need about how ‘totally bodacious’ it is to be in a rock and roll band. The production on their only notable attempt at something approaching important also comes across as so completely obvious (the gunfire and helicopters that precede Die Hard the Hunter) that everything that follows it is just one giant eye-roll. It’s just not for me, and I’d never choose to listen to this music. That album art is hilarious though. ⭐️⭐️
it was an ejoyable album; the rock was so cool and the guitars solo too, though it was a bit repetitive. i feel like it was a very original album with new things, for example the song Foolin' was so cool when they did the "F-F-F-F-Fooling" thing hahaha. id listen to it again to be fair. my favorite song was Photograph.
One arm drumming
1980’s Rock, big guitars, layered chorus, strained vocal continued in the footsteps as zeppelin but not as good.
Old school rock. Solid album as well
I don't hate Def Leppard but I don't love them either. "Rock of Ages" is a good song, though.
Would be a lot cooler if I was 10 years older... or at an 80s themed party
Unbearable, overblown, pretentious, corny party-rock. Bands like Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and almost all the hair metal bands are devoid of the authentic coolness and style that the hard rock bands of the late 60s and early 70s had. The MTV era saw rock and pop turn into a gross, garish, glitzy, and overindulgent spectacle. Also: few things in music are more cringeworthy than a song in which a “rock” band sings about how hard they’re “gonna rock you” lol.
8.5/10
Great 80’s hair rock
Pretty good! Nothing quite stood out to me, but the instrumentals and vocal work were good throughout. 'Photograph' was my top song from this album.
4.2
A long-time favourite of mine, so no notes necessary.
Some great classic rock anthems here. If you went in expecting anything else... idk what to tell you... Some of it got too samey but still a fun ride.
Nostalgic butt rock. Not breaking new ground here but it's fun!
Ee må godt være der, men det for lidt i halvt tempo... Første halvdel kunne ligeså godt have været AC/DC eller Guns'n Roses Light.
Hairmetal eller Puddelrock? Det er set fra 2025 svært at betegne det som metal, men i samtiden har det været alt for hårdt til at blive betegnet som rock. Det er 100% kliché med kliché på.
7/10
6.5/10
It's not terrible, but it could have been a lot better with a better singer than this 3rd rate Robert Plant. Some songs are alright, some are cheesy. Favorite song: stagefright
Has some pretty good songs. Has some pretty dumb songs. Not a big fan of 'Rock of Ages'. Not even the gleeben globen part at the beginning.
Fun album - great hooks, great melodies. And Photograph is a fantastic song. Glad this is on the list.
Oh wow didn’t think I’d enjoy it so much - going on my daily run feeling like a million euros. As I grew this band was written off as cringe in my mind but it’s actually just chill strong partying and good vibes. Not sure what the songs are totally about - didn’t get too deep but the music - oh yeah.
Big, dumb and very cheesy, about the best you can say. Pop metal heading/grasping for that radio friendly mass market. As they sit on their millions guess they don’t give a damn, but originally when you claim to be influenced by Bowie, Zep etc and end up famous for this sugar crock cock pop metal? This is the leppard album thought I could actually listen to before they fully fell into that barrel of saccharine turgid shit, and if this is here it’s follow up hysteria is gonna be and that is where Mutt Lange took it head first into said barrel to make everyone many more millions and still heard here and there today, and that’s a sound I hated from the first listen of the first single, but guess that’s another day down the line. Pyromania is ok I thought for a bit of dumb fun but looking back it really has the same shit, there are couple of good pop songs early on, photograph and too late, then the laying on of lots of rock n roll cliches and heavy production, which are fine but too much will rot your teeth if you’re not careful, and it gets a bit much very quickly. Started off being generous 3 Star, but it outstayed if’s welcome with the cliches and syrup by time got to the end - 2 Star. Don’t care how popular this was, 1 album would be enough to represent this sound. This over hysteria personally. And to the top reviewer of this yes, personally would swap any Uncle Tupelo album onto the list for this shit. Wasn’t expecting to be so damning of this but with hindsight hasn’t rock of aged well at all, falls into albums I am now embarrassed I once actually it some point owned.
A little too consistent throughout, but at least it's consistently good.
That was a fun flashback
Heard this album a lot on MTV when I was a kid.
Photograph rules but everything else is shite.
Still sounds good to me after all these years
Heavy Metal 80’s hair band…..album is ok…reminds me too much of junior high school, I hated junior high school!
Some good ol polished and produced 80’s metal. All (or most) of the songs were seemingly hits. It was an enjoyable listen
Fantastic album! Feels like a greatest hits record. I’ve never really listened to Def Leppard except for the hits on the radio and MTV so this was a treat for me. I’m not being at all hyperbolic when I say the pre-chorus on Photograph with the cowbell is in my top five all-time rock ‘n’ roll song parts. I can’t help myself from making an evenly timed striking drum motion with my right hand every time it comes on! Super cool musical structure. Nothing cheesy about this album (we’ll save the cheesy review for Pour Some Sugar On Me), just really good medium-rocking early 80’s rock-n-roll / heavy metal. Def Leppard’s sound is very welcoming, not brash or off-putting in any way. This is one of those albums where I wish we had half stars, it’s a really solid 3.5 stars for me but I’m giving it an extra half star because it’s the first record my buddy Jim ever got. Oh yeah, and Joe Elliott…. 😍😍😍
I’m not a lover of the type of rock music Def Leppard put out. I always feel that it is MOR rock designed and polished specifically for FM American radio stations (maybe they are DAB now?) I did purchase their orchestrated greatest hits album last year as I felt I need a Def Leppard in my collection but this will be as far as I go into their discography. This album is OK every now and then but the formula for each song is the same so nothing here to challenge or learn something new. 3/5 8/5/25
It wasn’t awful but the fact that Pour Some Sugar on Me wasn’t on here suggests that we have more Def Leppard coming and I’m not sure we need that.
No, just no. So bad I just can't take them seriously. All these years later I still can't decide who was worse, these or Whitesnake?
What the? Thank god rock improved over the coming decades, it seems like a lot of people regressed in this period. I can’t explain it but there was such a fine line between this and Bon Jovi. Similar style but Bon Jovi sell me on every aspect that Def Leppard don’t.
Fairly standard hair metal, not a bad listen.
Excellent rock album, its dated in a nostalgic way, brilliant
The drummer from Def Leppard has only got one arm. If there is a second Leppard album on this list I'm done and am making my own.
Classic 80s. Other than the hits, this was pretty basic.
After yesterday's Metallica - which I did not like - I thought, oh no, here we got again. But to my surprise, I liked this. Not what I expected, and that's a good thing. Listened to it all the way through. Not saying it's going in my regular rotation ...
Classic example of big hair rock. Saw then play a couple of years ago and loved it
adorable
No thank you. I would rather set my ears on fire.
I pride myself on my musical opinions and reviews, but not on this one. I *have* to give this pop metal album a 4/5 as much as I want to dismiss it. I loved this SO much as a 13 year old. The scope you see on the cover of the album actually had me in its sights: the “target” audience. I bought the album, the concert tickets, and the shirt. By the time Hysteria came out my musical tastes had changed considerably — but these songs still sound SO good to me. So for what it’s worth here is my very nostalgic, non-objective 4 Star rating.
This is glorious 80's hair band rock and roll. Catchy and fun while not afraid to belt out some over the top exhortations to the brighter side of sex, drugs, and glam rock. It is hard to navigate between nostalgia and concrete critique, so I'll just say, give it a listen. It is a fun and wild ride you won't regret, but probably won't revisit very often.
I remember when this came out. I was very confused. I was deeply into 'real metal' (lol) Having spent time in any number of friend's basements whose older brothers were serious metal heads I was under the belief that Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Ratt, Grim Reaper, &c. all the way to Quiet Riot and Motley Crew were REAL METAL. And this thing came out... I bought it. We didn't have a lot of metal playing on the radio then so I had little idea what would be on it. I can clearly recall a first listen of this. It sounded....weak. Fluffy. The hairiest of the hair metal. And worse of all, an imitation of REAL METAL. These guys were just copy cats. I have to say, my opinion has not changed after a listen all these years later. This is a shitty album. Horrible lyrics. Songs hung on single licks. Just....bad all around. But in re-listening I was left to consider that these guys likely had the time of their lives in the 1980s.
Ugh
Hooky, overproduced album brought back a lot of memories. More like a greatest hits album with some great bangers "Fooling," "Rock of Ages," "Photograph." Some duds as well.
Felt like Johnny Lawrence listening to this.. fun in small doses but unbelievably overwrought and corny. Photograph is a fantastic song though
While the 80's hair metal scene has lost it's power, Def Leppard are still legends. I would give up my left arm to see them in concert, just to check off that box. However, while this album has a couple classics, the rest of the album can't hold up on it's own. ~ 3 stars
It's classic Def Leppard. I didn't hear anything surprising from this album. I mean, I guess it's pretty great for what it is - polished pop/jock rock? I dunno. You know those bars that are really popular with a younger crowd, and visually they're really slick looking places, but when you go there you're just like, "why is everything sticky, and what is that smell?" Yeah, this album is the aural version of that bar.
reallly good
3.5 - Cool Vibes!
Heck yes, Pyromania is an absolute classic. This is not better than Hysteria, all cards on the table, but it is a necessary stepping stone so that Def Leppard and Mutt Lange could created Hysteria four years later. But Pyromania is still very good! Def Leppard has their most well-known line-up, drums and guitar on fire, a dynamite producer, and great lyrics. So many of these songs are absolute bangers ("Rock of Ages," anyone?) or have amazing instrumentals/guitar solos ("Die Hard the Hunter"), which solidified Def Leppard on the glam rock/metal scene.
This album is an absolute banger. I'm not surprised that reviews are hating on it for various reasons, but I guess I expected it to be a little more appreciated than it is. Def Leppard just did a lot to make 80s metal accessible and, well, glamorous. It's fun, and it's catchy. The vocals are soaring. The instruments are so full and dramatic on every song. It doesn't have to be overly heady or intellectual to be valuable. It can just be fun. And "Pyromania" is that. Additionally, this album was a big step for Def Leppard into glam metal/hair metal royalty; this album fully put them on that path and was the precursor to the absolute excellence that is "Hysteria". Like it or not, that album took the world by storm and has had lasting impact. If "Hysteria" is a 5 for me, "Pyromania" is at least a 4.-something. But you know what? I'm rounding it up to offset the haters. Be mad. Sidenote: I will always remember this album cover as being on a t-shirt that I wanted as a teenager and being denied by my mother because of its "resemblance" to 9/11.
Ok
This album was everywhere when it came out. Hits were best listened to in the Strip Clubs of the times. In the light of day not so much.
Trött på skiten
3.1 2x
Not great
this album has high energy!! it’s just good quality rock music from the top down. vocals, instruments, lyrics, everything!
Ok so 80s hair metal is another genre that might be overrepresented on this list. I’ve gotten a lot of them fairly recently and it’s not an era that, looking back, is particularly known for its quality. Case in point, Def Leppard is a fun band but probably didn’t need two of their albums on this list. This is essentially just a worse retread of their first one, with less hits on it.
Like the best parts of the hot rod soundtrack
In a nutshell: heavy metal's made-for-radio cousin. It is what it is: a formulaic AF "rock on" music. Some good riffs though. Overall: 3/10
Their music don't catches me any more in the same way as a teenager. But it's still a pretty good (stadium-)rock album packed with banger. Fun to listen to every time. 3,5
Solid classic rock
Painfully 80's. Aside from the single 'Photograph' eminently forgettable.
On my hands and knees begging this list to stop giving me 80s rock albums
Felt like listening to plastic. overall grating and disinteresting
Laughable to think that people were listening to this thinking it was hard or heavy when Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All was released the same year. Just terrible stuff.
The true downfall of western civilization.
Pretty fine... I think they call it dad rock. I'm a lot older and less drunk than the TA but still enjoyed it a quite a bit
snore inducing
A seminal album of my youth that still brings it.
Being honest, was a meh album but a couple of songs
Good ol' Def Leppard
#561. I find Def Leppard's music to be grating and don't really understand why people find it to be interesting. 2/5: not it
Not my genre, but not bad. Makes you want to play instruments you don’t know how to. 2.5
Every track is a polished, hairsprayed anthem—like someone bottled the sound of a lighter flicking open in slow motion. I saw them on this tour in El Paso, TX in 1983—Google the controversy that followed for some unexpected Def Leppard lore. No hate, though, and this is an absolute banger of an album, zero skips.
I guess i should have expected this after listening to Hysteria but Pyromania is such an awesome album. It might not have as many of Def Leppard's most famous songs but they are still very much here. And of course it should come as no surprise that all of these songs are great. They have the typical characteristics like catchy melodies, heavy guitars and some really great vocals. There are also some slight diversions with the formula which kept the songs fresh while still feeling like they fit well including Billy's Got A Gun's more swingy style. Like i said prior, every song is also an absolute banger meaning that this really is one of the best albums i have looked at for this project. Best Song: Photograph Worst Song: Foolin'
Great example of hair metal lots of energy and full of life.
This is one of those bands and albums that I always think I'll hate and then it's actually pretty good. It's just really catchy rock music without all the stupidity of hair metal.
Sheffield’s finest rock hair metal band 🤘
Listened Before? Y This album is a hard rock classic. That's all there is to it. The writing, production, energy and performance are top-notch. Makes me want to just stick a fist in the air and crank it up! Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Rock Rock (till you drop)
Has some bangers.
Because of this project, I’ve learned that Def Leppard is purely derivative of Judas Priest. In some ways they might be better than the original because their hooks are better. But it’s pretty simple music with juvenile themes. Three of the songs are bangers, but the rest miss (particularly the first track). As an album, it fails.
Ok good memories
Complete shite. The worst kind of rock and roll ever. Far too much spandex, hairspray and a vague impression they have an unhealthy obsession with their own balls. I am also sure that this is the band spinal tap are based on. However, despite the satire, Tap are still 100 times better than this The songs are crap, the playing is mediocre at best and I wish I had back the time I wasted listening to this
Honestly, amazing album. Loved it. My father in law loves it. I listened to it with my daughter and at 5 months old she loved it. Will definitely listen to it again.
This is probably properly a 3.5 but I'll round up here I think. It's fun, nothing super challenging or off the wall but it feels so "of it's time" I feel it's worth a listen. Some songs I'll return to off of here.
If you like mediocre hair metal then this is your thing. 7.0/10
Another nostalgic album, taking me back to being 14 yrs old, being bullied in gym class for not shaving my legs above my knees, and just discovering Def Leppard by overhearing other girls talk about them during a bus ride home from school.
liked it, not alot but yeah
I'm surprised that this album is on the list as I've already had Hysteria, which is a more realized version of what they were doing here (with the sales to match). This is standard 80's pop hair metal done extremely well, even if it hasn't aged well. On second listen I think I understand why it sounds so aged now. The 80's was a prosperous, optimistic time and that shines through in the music. That feeling died in the 90's, and we're in a similar situation now. I imagine that if the economy was doing well this would hit better.
Definitely a quintessential Hair metal album. Heavy 80's rock with withstanding hits. Nice to hear the other songs on this album.
79/100. Pyromania by Def Leppard is a great heavy metal record and easily one of the high points of their discography. The opening three tracks are absolutely fantastic, setting a strong tone with infectious hooks and powerful energy. While the rest of the album may not always hit those same highs, it's consistently solid and showcases the band's signature blend of metal edge and pop accessibility.
My second favorite Def Leppard album behind Hysteria (which is surely on this list??)! Solid rock n roll!
Not sure this is entirely my cup of tea, but have to say this album feels quite well made and packs a punch. Doesn't overstay its welcome, and is crammed with multiple smashing tracks. The guitar sound is also really good and raw. First track 'Rock! Rock (Till You Drop)' reminds me quite a lot of AC/DC, probably took lots of influence from there. Weak 4!
It is very formulaic, some guitar riffs, boom clap drums and chant whatever the the chorus is. But it works. There is something fun and sexy about the music. Not as good as AC/DC but very similar sound. I think this deserves a four, it has everything needed there except some hit songs. I think "Rock of Ages" is the strongest song but it is not that great. It just squeezes in a weak 4, too bad "Pour Some sugar on me" is not on this record.
Def Leppard is one of the few Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands from the 80s that I never listened to or was interested in. The only things I knew about the band until today were that they had really cool album covers, and the song "Photograph", which is on the GTA V soundtrack (once again the Grand Theft Auto series has proven to have influenced at least 10% of my musical taste and knowledge). I immediately melted at the first chorus of "Rock! Rock! (til' you drop)". Any possible prejudice I might have had regarding this 80s aesthetic with a taste of bubblegum and banana, which I now find extremely nauseating, evaporated completely in the face of this overwhelming song. A great start to an album that leaves no loose ends. An excellent hard rock album, with choruses that you can sing at the top of your lungs in large arenas. There are no flaws. 5 stars.
Girls in 1983 loved the shit outta this.
I tried….made it a few songs in Some songs sounded like AC/DC and others were power ballads Not my thing. Maybe I’ll give it another go later as I do like some of their other stuff
Trash
it's good to know my perception of Def Leppard was 100% accurate
тягомотина
4.5/5 actually. One of the greatest glam rock records ever.
Sounds like underaged drinking in all its glory. It’s just sappy pop songs with guitar dive bombs.
I unironically love the line "Rock of Ages, still rolling". The whole song is sung with such passion, everyone was into it. Pyromania followed by Hysteria is a pair of perfection.
Glam Metal/Hair Metal, whatever you want to call it, it started here, 100% 80s excess and power chords and the word rock really means fuck...
rock rock til you drop- 4 photograph- 4 or 5 stagefright- 4 too late for love- 3 die hunt the hunter- 3 foolin- 3 or 4 rock of ages- 4 coming under fire- ay yo. 4 action not words- 3 or 4 billys got a gun- 3 or 4 i think i wouldve been fine if i didnt hear this before i died
Cheesy as expected, but honestly pretty fun.
Too Late For Love has to be one of the most annoying fucking songs of all time. It sounds like a South Park song written to be intentionally cheesy and awful. This band is so bad, dude. The vocals are the definition of "try hard", and nobody brings anything good to the table. Every single song on this album sounds satirical, Team America: World Police - esque. I don't understand how Def Leppard was as successful as they were. There were other metal bands in this era that did it way better.
Hey did you know the drummer only has one arm?.....man this sucked. Big ups for the cowbell on 'Foolin' though.
I imagine this was annoying / grating when it first came out but I can appreciate it now
Hair metal is my least favorite subgenre of rock music — where the singer is telling me how hard I need to ROCK!!!!, where every snare drum hit sounds like a cannon blast. Seriously, I can’t imagine what kind of chaos would ensue if the drummer ever did a drum roll on his snare. This came out early enough in the 80s where I don’t know if this is the grandfather of hair metal, so it gets 1 star for either creating such a terrible (bowel) movement or being a filthy copycat. Lone soft spot: “Photograph”
Before listening to this I couldn’t name a Leppard song. I still can’t. And I couldn’t pick Leppard out of Whitesnake, Poison, Crue, or whoever else. This is some interchangeable music. But man, I’m having a tough time hating this one. This well-done hair metal just makes me think of turning on the radio in the summer and letting it play. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not good music exactly. The production is terrible, vocals are an indistinct mess. But on a hot day with a beer in my hand, I’d leave this station on. I’d probably wax my Camaro too.
It's big and hairy, no real hits that I recalled. Of its time. High 2s
Good rock n roll!
Yay, it's my favorite '80s hair-metal group. Def Leppard has always managed to take one of my least favorite "scenes" in rock music and turn it into something I can genuinely enjoy. Because I mean, by the time these forty-five minutes were over, I was only a little bit agitated, which is good! And it does contain all of those typical tropes that I usually don't even like, the high-pitched screechy vocals, the call-and-response choruses, and the excessive "Rock and Roll" pride (which, to be honest I disliked the song 'Rock Of Ages' for that exact reason, too cheesy for my liking). But god, there are some great tracks and some borderline Iron Maiden-esque passages here, like with 'Too Late For Love'. I mean, Iron Maiden is obviously still leagues above this band, but it was a parallel that allowed me to enjoy this song and the whole album, nonetheless. 'Photograph' might be the band's sweetest track - who knew harmonizing the word "Photograph" over and over again could sound so good. 'Comin' Under Fire' was relentlessly catchy and really the perfect hair metal song. Just the drama in the verses created by the muted strumming and that group chorus - so good! I also loved the closer 'Billy's Got a Gun', a dramatic closer that seems to tackle themes of violence and crime. I mean, these guys are two for two at this point. Just the perfect glammy band. And I really do hate this sound, but these guys just make it work!
I wish I could rate this less than 1 star.
Billy’s Got a Gun
Definitely excessive to have more than 1 album here. My 9yo reckoned it was a 3 star and I think along with album art it probably had appeal to that sort of younger demographic. Influencial from an entry point for young listeners perhaps? Not for me, skipped the last few songs
Just perfectly servicable dad rock - not essential by any means, pretty sure this their second entry here? That feels excessive
Don’t be Foolin’ and listen to this.
Historically, was never a big fan of Def Leppard. Actually enjoyed this album more than I thought I would! Solid 3.
Quite like this.
I am a sucker for 80s hair metal-pop stuff. This is fun, the solos are cool, the vocals are tight. Not every song is a banger but it's enjoyable enough!
Hair rock, not the best.
Surprisingly a pretty good time.
Really enjoyed it, some classic 80s metal tunes
This has to be one of the best 80s rock albums. Great from start to song 9. Song #10 is kind of not great to end that amazing rock galore. Definitivelt def lepards best album
Not my thing
It was better than mediocre. It makes me remember my dad who liked them a lot, so that is why it is ranked higher than it would have been on it's own.
I don't know what to do with this. I kind of like it in a vacuum, and singles like Photograph are permanently etched in my brain. But I listened in the purest environment possible, a 4 hour road trip, and it didn't capture me, I turned it off with a few songs left. I actually skipped out of Foolin' - great chorus but the rest of the song sucked. I wanted to like this more than I did because Hysteria is permanently etched into my 11 year old brain. I finished the album this morning and it was better as background music, but that's faint praise. Can I rate this the shrug emoji? As an aside, when the first track started playing, I genuinely thought it was AC/DC, a thought which kind of makes me want to kick my own ass
It’s fine, 80s rock. Pretty much what I expected.
Eh, I recognized the singles from this album, but I wasn’t blown away by anything. I didn’t hate it, but it’s not going to be something I go back to.
Olvidable, pero estuvo bien. Sin más.
Not as good as Hysteria
Photograph, F-f-f-foolin', Rock of Ages and some other great songs that elementary school me got in trouble for blasting.
I don’t like hair
Lät som ett "vanligt" rockband från 80-talet. Inget stack ut för mig direkt.
I feel like this record has a lot to answer for in how influential it sounds like it must have been on 80s hair metal. I didn't want to like it but "Photograph" is pretty good. Not as good as Ringo Starr's song by the same name but still respectable and I love it that in both the singer is essentially making the same complaint. Is their name a tribute to Led Zeppelin? p.s. If this record were made after 9/11 I doubt they would have gone with this cover art.
Ah, the definitive Def Leppard album at long last. (Still a mystery why this collection also has "Hysteria".) It sounds *exactly* like I (vaguely) remember from the rockin' 80s, no better and no worse. I was kind of hoping that the videos (which I never saw back in the day, thanks to a cable/MTV-less upbringing) would add to the effect/quality of the songs, but sadly they too are exactly what I kind of expected, although the video for "Photograph" is actually quite disappointingly boring and uncreative, and while it's fun to see their drummer with both arms, I do wish he wasn't such a big fan of the Union Jack short-shorts. I'll admit that the only highlights on this album are their impressively numerous singles; the rest is *very* forgettable, making for a fairly uneven album. If I had enjoyed Def Leppard more as a teenager, this would easily be 4 or 5 stars for nostalgia alone. But there was always something kind of...generic...about them that made me trend towards the somewhat harder-edged bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, even the Scorpions (none of whom were all that much more interesting musically, admittedly). I was also struck by how much Joe Elliott occasionally sounds a *lot* like AC/DC's Brian Johnson, albeit Elliott's growls aren't nearly as impressive as Johnson's.
no. I tried and no.
3.6 One of the more surprising things for me from this list is I actually like Def Leopard. It's corny, it's cheesy, I wouldn't every play it out loud if anyone was in the vicinity, but there's something fun about a throbbing hair metal beat. Although not as polished as Hysteria, this is still pretty good, particularly the first 4 tracks. Tails off towards the end but is that the music actually worsening or half an hour of Def Leopard being all I can handle
I am not a big fan of Def Leppard, but there is no denying that this record has some of their most iconic songs. There are a few filler songs here. It brings back some memories.
Das dritte Studioalbum der britischen Rockband Def Leppard und gilt als einer der Meilensteine des 80er-Jahre Hard Rock. Die Band, die zu dieser Zeit aus den Mitgliedern Joe Elliott (Gesang), Rick Allen (Schlagzeug), Steve Clark (Gitarre), Phil Collen (Gitarre) und Rick Savage (Bass) bestand, arbeitete für dieses Album mit dem renommierten Produzenten Robert John "Mutt" Lange zusammen, der bereits mit AC/DC und anderen bekannten Acts gearbeitet hatte. Die Aufnahmen fanden in den Pathway Studios in London sowie in den Voorhees Studios in New Jersey statt. Lange beeinflusste die Klanggestaltung maßgeblich, indem er ein sauberes und poliertes Soundbild erzeugte, das für die Band neu war und ihren kommerziellen Erfolg förderte. Einige herausragende Songs auf Pyromania sind „Photograph“, „Rock of Ages“ und „Foolin'“. „Photograph“ wurde zum größten Hit des Albums und trug maßgeblich dazu bei, die Popularität von Def Leppard in Nordamerika zu steigern. „Rock of Ages“ wurde ebenfalls ein Klassiker, der den typischen Sound der Band verkörpert, der sich durch eingängige Melodien und markante Gitarrenriffs auszeichnet. Insgesamt zeigt Pyromania eine Band, die ihren Stil weiterentwickelt und dabei den kommerziellen Erfolg nicht aus den Augen verliert. Das Album war ein Wendepunkt für Def Leppard, da es ihnen half, international größere Anerkennung zu finden. Trotz der eher klassischen Hard-Rock-Elemente wird es durch die Produktion und den Songaufbau auch einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich. Pyromania ist ein prägendes Rock-Album, das sowohl die Stärke von Def Leppard als Songwriter als auch ihre Fähigkeit, ein breites Publikum zu erreichen, zeigt. Es bleibt ein fundamentales Werk der 80er-Jahre Rockmusik.
Not their best album, but still a solid rock record. The poor reviews here are based on ignorance and poor judgement. Rick Allen didn’t lose his arm until December 1984, more than a year later than this was released. Coincidentally coming back stronger in 1987 with Hysteria. This album has been on lists of greatest heavy metal albums. It was a breakthrough for not only the band but for Metal. It’s enjoyable and easy going Metal, with energy and power. I go with a 4 because it’s not their best album for me.
This collection didn’t contain any of my favoured Def Leppard songs. Quite mediocre.
Another powerful album that gets you going but it's just not exciting for more listenings.
Kind've a forgettable 80s hair metal album. Don't get me wrong, great band and great songs, good enough for 4 stars in my opinion. Just not quite on par with 5 stars given that it didn't leave a lasting impression.
Infinite head bangs. Infinite Air Guitars. This shit slaps harder than Vasilii Kamotskii!!!
When people say 80's music their heads usually go to synthpop and new wave but often forget that the Rock sound found here was also ubiquitous. The hits are the hits and have been in the zeitgeist since their release. And no, I am not going to deny that "Photograph" is a fun song. The non-Singles all have that same generic 80's Rock sound, which turns out should just be called the "Mutt" Lange sound. A lot of it sounded like AC/DC to me. Mostly I can do without that slick 80s rock production. I wasn't much a fan back then and not much has changed in the ensuing years. I did find that "Stagefright" wasn't too bad though. I'm not going to ever come back to Def Leppard but I can understand the appeal.
It’s fine but I just didn’t engage with it at all when listening to it.
This is a fun record, and while "Photograph" got most of the attention, there are several other great tunes on here. That said, it's not revolutionary...
What has 9 arms and sucks.
I have a fondness for metal but this isn’t quite a 4 for me—not sure why but it was more in the enjoyable than the listen again category.
Gunter gleiben glauchen globen I got somethin' to say It's better to burn out than fade away My best friend in 7th grade introduced me to this album, and life was never the same after that. 5/5
Can you have a better run than Def Leppard in the 80s? This album is solid , solid!
🔥🔥🔥
Pyromania sounds like my kind of thing. While I’ve definitely known about them for a long time, I’ve never really listened to Def Leppard. Reminds me of childhood WWF.
85% of the rating is nostalgia. Never cared for Def Leppard, still don’t, but it reminds me of some friends I had in high school who liked them a lot. All in all, not the worst album. Not the best either.
I don't know if I've ever actually listened to Def Leppard before, but it sounded almost exactly the way I would have expected it to, but maybe a little bit less heavy.
Fun stuff. 3.4.
I didn't really enjoy this album, because I don't enjoy the genre, but I can understand and appreciate why it was on the list. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5
Strained and uncontained Soaring vocals, rowdy riffs Over the top fun
first listen forgettable
White Trash arena rock from the 80’s, now playing at a tribal casino near you.
Too Late For Love // Die Hard The Hunter // Comin’ Under Fire // 2.5/5
Nope. J'avais définitivement pas besoin d'entendre ça.
Boring. Every song sounds the same.
yuh get it i guess
Pre-listening thoughts: Def Leppard is known for having a one armed drummer. Well he still had two arms when this album dropped so like what am I supposed to be impressed by Post/during listening thoughts: in my brain this is like Van Halen meets AC/DC. But they’re lacking the technical flair of Eddie Van Halen and they’re lacking the iconic-ness of AC/DC. Let me know in the comments if I’m right and like and subscribe for more awesome album reviews. In the next review, hopefully I’ll get a better album. 3/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: Photograph, the intro to Rock of Ages 😭 Least fav tracks: Too Late for Love, Die Hard the Hunter
Whenever I hear this band, I always feel like they have the ability to be really good but their music and arrangements are just really basic and bland
For all my fellow St. Louis locals, you know this album is basically half of the KSHE 95 playlist.
Decent enough
It's definitely what it is, I'll give it that.
3.5
Brit Rockers showing how mid to late 80s hard rock was done.
Def leppard became a joke to us 90s alternative kids and this hasn’t aged well but it is much less terrible than I expected going in
Loud, catchy, and 80s as hell. This is one of the best takes on pop metal (AKA hair metal) that you’re going to find, but I do find it starts to get repetitive at a certain point. Best song: Stagefright
My favorite pure 80s rock album of all time.
Good rock album.
I can see where Gun's and Roses got their inspiration. Slick pop production heavy metal. It is driving, I guess it is a source for all heavy metal, cliches. Too Late for Love indeed.What do you want? I want 3.5 stars. Rock of Ages, as I listen to this 42nd years after its release, I feel rock is dead and this whole listening enterprise is an exercise in nostalgia. As I work my way through too much mediocre British pop, I find the interesting stuff is African or a classic 50's pop/jazz album I never heard. Maybe I've out grown rock. I never had a like for rap and always thought it generally lacked melody.
So boring
Nice safe pop rock
Rock on! Love the high energy these guys put out.
Surprising nobody, I do really enjoy Def Leppard. They’re the perfect mix of rock and pop, having plenty of cheesiness but still maintaining plenty of talent at the same time. Photograph is an absolute banger (I showed this to my stinky other half and she said she’d never heard it before! How?!). As fun and impressive as the music is, this is enhanced when you realise that the drummer only has one arm too. Def Leppard are easily my favourite British band that you wouldn’t expect to be British.
Blind album, know the hits and artist. Wow this was awesome. Not as good as Hysteria but still awesome.
This sound is emblematic of every shitty 80s song I have come to hate over the years. Loud for no reason, stupid themes like “danger in the air”. Just really nothing to enjoy here. I will say this though, it’s always impressive to learn that their drummer has one arm. That’s amazing.
It's not really fair for me to review this album as I have an intense dislike for Def Leppard. When people say that the 80s was the worst decade for music, a sentiment that disagree with, it's this band and their ilk that might lead me to think that. Worthless crap. 1 star
Forgettable. Not a fan of this genre and this hasn’t changed my mind. None of the songs had any distinguishing variation from any other.
I feel like an old man saying this, but this album was just too noisy.
Good 80s rock. Some good guitar.
As a lifelong Hysteria supremacist, I must admit this album is also a banger
heavy af
Geiler 80s Rock ImI >.< ImI Stagefright richtig Oldschool Metal, aber auch rockigere Songs die mir gefielen. "Too Late" brachte mich zum Headbangen. Werde definitiv das Album mir privat besorgen! 5 Sterne
Geiler Pop-Metal. \m/
i really don't like being a negative nancy but really this is music that i genuinely hate listening to. for years boomers have told me that 1970s pop music like the carpenters or barry manilow was schlocky, cheesy, drivel that was not worth listening to. and yet, i find that music more compelling and genuine than this. this era of pop metal has dominated classic rock radio for the last couple of decades and really killed my love for the radio format that had an absolute grip on me as a teenager. this shit is so corny and so uncool to me and always has been. it doesn't sound cool, it doesn't give a compelling reason to listen to it. it just assumes you will think it is cool by listening to it. well i don't subscribe to that. hard pass
top album als je van hair metal houdt... perfecte popsongs als je van de top40 houdt....geweldig als je van bedekte vuile praat houdt (let's get rocked = let's get fucked,...) helaas behoor ik tot geen enkele van deze categorieën...
Fav song: Photograph Really not my favourite type of music! But still, at least it's well produced.
Hair metal 🤢
From back in my day
Awful
Okay, so I'm not a fan of heavy metal, and I was not looking forward to this after recently enduring two farcical albums by Metallica. But this record is great--as good as heavy metal gets other than peak Van Halen. I'd forgotten how many tunes off this album made the charts when I was in high school. If you're going to listen to music at the left end of the FM radio dial and to the right of NPR, Def Leopard's Pyromania is so much better than most of its ilk, e.g., anything by Stryper.
Not a fan of rock in general.
I feel a little mixed about this album. The popular songs are really great, especially Photograph, but also Too Late For Love, Foolin', and Rock of Ages. The other songs are kind of filler, and some of them are a little annoying (e.g. Rock! Rock!). That leaves me somewhere between a 3 and a 4.
As far as big, dumb albums go, this was pretty big and plenty dumb.
My husband, overhearing the album of the day: 'AC/DC?' No. 'Motley Cru?' No. 'Whitesnake? Def Leppard.' The last one. 'Knew it was some hair metal bullshit.'
Hard Rock
What a hair metal banger! 🤘 I know the Def Leppard hits, but it was exciting to listen to some of their back catalog and see that the have depth to their albums.
Are you getting it. I'm a getting it.
Bluesy 80s hair metal. Had me tapping my foot the whole time, but I did own this album as a kid so I'm deep down familiar with it even if I don't remember specifics about some of the songs. Decent background music.
I'm sick and tired of people pretending like these guys and their contemporaries weren't just the Nickelbacks and Creeds of the 80's. Absolutely nothing redeeming about this bullshit. 0.5/5
Fine (but not quite peak) hair metal with a hearty helping of cowbell 3.3
Anthem rock.
Don’t care, had fun
Marketed like metal but this is insipid soft rock and I never want to hear it again.
Pyromania is a monster. What it did in 1983 and paved the way for is probably invisible from most of the reviewers here who probably don't realize they were possibly conceived to this album. Did Def Leppard overstay their welcome? Yes.
Listened to this while doing Marisol’s rotors and breaks. It was great. Going to go back the last few songs again today.
Solid album
oh man when the band starts off the album singing about Rock as a concept you know its going to be a long listening session. Photograph is a slick radio single. I enjoyed the solo on Stagefright a little too much. Too Late For Love is again another slick radio hit.
Not my thing at all Photograph is good The whole thing is incredibly cheesy. Every single element of it. There are a few times when the chorus flips to major and everyone is singing and it's fun A lot of it sounds like its either ripping something else off, or it's been ripped off
Let’s be honest, sometimes the music of the 80s was as cheesy as a British summer garden party. Picture the scene: those plastic trays laden with tiny cubes of mild cheeses, laid out for everyone to nibble on between sips of warm Pimm’s. Easy to enjoy at first, but after a while, you start wondering if there’s something more interesting on the table. It’s tasty, it hits the spot, but by now it’s the same thing you’ve had hundreds of times before. That’s Pyromania—familiar, easy, and crowd-pleasing, but lacking any true excitement or unexpected flavours. The production is like a wedge of Edam: meticulously crafted, but lacking the depth of a truly aged cheese. Every sound is surgically precise, engineered for perfection rather than allowed to breathe. Tracks like “Photograph” and “Rock of Ages” are undeniably catchy, offering massive hooks that stick with you long after they’ve ended. “Photograph” is a masterclass in crafting an anthem—big, bold, and bursting with youthful energy. “Rock of Ages,” with its bombastic production and larger-than-life choruses, is pure 80s adrenaline, guaranteed to get your head banging. But, while these songs are exhilarating, their overblown grandeur borders on the ridiculous, like those wild cheese-rolling competitions—entertaining, but hard to take seriously. I can’t deny that Pyromania has its musical moments. The guitar solos are proper showstoppers—sharp, intricate, and as satisfying as a well-aged Cheddar. The lyrics? Just like those cheese strips you give your kids to shut them up—simple, familiar and predictable, but undeniably effective in the moment. There’s an instant comfort in their straightforwardness, making it easy for listeners to sing along. Leppard tap into timeless themes of heartache and yearning, hitting the emotional sweet spot with their straightforward delivery. They may not be profound, but they’re relatable—offering up just enough emotional content to engage without demanding much thought. Yet, the simplicity betrays a lack of real depth. “Too Late for Love” attempts to deliver an emotional punch, but instead, it feels more like the sort of awkward, over-earnest lines you’d hear at a drunken pub poetry night—romantic on paper, but cringeworthy in execution. The attempt to bring any sense of real vulnerability or exploration into the song’s lyrics doesn’t land, leaving the listener with a hollow, superficial sentiment, keeping the experience comfortably familiar but never pushing any boundaries. Still, I can’t dismiss the album’s cultural significance. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 (second only to Thriller) and “Photograph” dethroned “Beat It” as MTV’s most requested video. . Somehow, it captured the spirit of the era, full of glossy hooks and anthemic energy. This sound resonated deeply in its time, even if it feels overly familiar today. This was the rock equivalent of fondue night—melting everything into an irresistibly gooey concoction that brought people together When compared to their peers, this album feels less refined. Iron Maiden's The Number of the Beast was raw and sharp like a tangy Stilton, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet was more like a comforting mozzarella, while Van Halen’s 1984 offered a daring Roquefort. But Pyromania? It’s inoffensive, widely loved, but maybe a bit too safe—like a dependable block of Cheddar: ubiquitous, polished, and undeniably popular, but lacking that true bite. This album paved the way for Hysteria, which took the same glossy template and somehow made it even more indulgent, and I mean that in a good way. Pyromania might not be essential listening, but it’s hard to resist the big riffs and unapologetic silliness that define this album. Whether it’s a classic depends entirely on your appetite for 1980s excess. Did/Do I own this release? No Does this release belong on the list? One Def Leppard album would have sufficed. Would this release make my personal list? No. Will I be listening to it again? Not really.
I’m a little conflicted by this. On the one hand, they are a Sheffield band with a proper rags to riches story but on the other hand this is very much transitional album between their heavy roots and their monster pop metal sound of the late 80s. I was quite surprised by just how much they sounded like AC/DC in places here and there’s not much that really stands out, except for Die Hard the Hunter which includes air raid sirens, helicopters and gun sounds.
Metal is probably the genre I listen to the most, but I've always been bored by heavy metal and the likes. This is an honest album of the genre -- I guess? -- but nothing too memorable for me.
It’s better then I’d like to admit but somehow I cringe when I listen
Loved it! Definitely my type of sound. It is a very 80s sound with Hard Rock. 4.5 so I rounded up.
# Album Name: Pyromania # Artist: Def Leppard # Rating: 4/5 # Comments: Quality album. I dont mind a bit of DL even if it is abit of soft cock rock. Musically the band is tight. But theres some good tunes on here such as Rock till you drop, Photograph, fooling, rock of ages. Definitely worth a listen. Its not the best DL but its still a good album. # Top Tunes: Rock till you drop, Photograph, fooling, rock of ages. # Would I listen to it again? Yes
Def Leppard all polished up for radio saturation. This album is the sound of a band whose already doing well making a bid for the brass ring. The music is totally in line with expectations for "hard rock" of the era. For all its posturing and gestures towards being tough this music is fairly benign with all the rough edges sanded off.
Pretty good, very energetic and made sort of reintroduced to me to the heaver stuff that I've been taking a break from
Fun 80’s hair metal album that bring pure energy. Is it amazing? No. Should it be on this list? No. But it is, and it is entertaining enough to rock out my morning.
3.75 Squarely in the center of '80s Metal.
Ugh. Hair metal.
I hated this music in high school And nothing has changed 40 years later.
Rockin out! Standout tracks: Photograph, Rock of Ages
The Good: Who doesn’t like a good fire? The Bad: Still don’t understand what a scope has to do with a fire… The Ugly: The fact that this album wasn’t called Nostradamus… I got to say that listening to this album has not proven the challange which I thought it was going to be. I found myself boppin’ my head left and right, the occasional fist-pump into the air… I had a good time. And that, for me at least, is what Def Leopard has always been about: having a good time. Mutt Lange did a great job with this album, even if, on one too many songs, it seemed like DL was trying to be another AC/DC. 3* because, at the end of the day, it still is cheesy and should not get a 4*, unless I change my mind overnight...
Love this! An all time favorite!
Album includes the smell of rubber during a Trans Am burnout
Ég þekki til Def Leppard og sérstaklega sykurhellingarlagið þeirra sem er því miður ekki á þessari plötu. Þetta er samt alveg góð plata og eitthvað sem ég myndi alveg hlusta á aftur en ég mun samt örugglega gleyma henni og velja aðrar plötur með Def Leppard
Aika salonkikelpoista, ei ravistele tai ravisuta. Tulee vähän sellanen olo, että rokkenroll on heidän duuninsa. Eivät he sitä intohimottomasti tee, mutta suunnitelmallisesti ja ilman suuria tunteenpurkauksia.
Cringen mestarit, erityisesti mitä tulee lyriikoihin, harmonioihin ja taustalauluihin. Onneksi ideat tuntuvat jossain vaiheessa vähän loppuvan. Harmittomuus ei kuitenkaan pelasta tätä levyä. Paras raita: Foolin'.
This is pretty great and very listenable but really there's only 1 great song on this record (Photograph). and 1 other really good song (Foolin'), and the rest would be fine to lose to history really. It was a fun listen but I won't miss it if I never put it on again. Sidenote: I've always wondered how those 80's hair-metal vocals were recorded. Such an interesting sound!
Well executed 80’s pop metal. Musicianship was still a focus in this decade. Maybe that focus will return.
Too 80s
Another band where I only really know one song- Pour Some Sugar on Me is a banger. I find it quite interesting that they’re from Sheffield, because there’s something so American about their whole old man sports bar attitude. There’s nothing on here anywhere near as fun as Pour Some Sugar on Me. I liked Too Late for Love for being so terribly dramatic, but everything on this sounded the same to me. Other highlights were Photograph and Action! Not Words because it felt like these had a slightly distinct lyrical subject matter- the whole album is about starting a fire and rock and rolling, and it’s just a bit boring. I think hair metal is very much not my thing- after listening to Black Sabbath I thought maybe I’d be open to more metal, but I really didn’t care a jot about this and will never put it on again. 1.5 rounded to 2 because someday there might be an actual 1.
I was quite looking forward to this as I've never given Def Leppard the time and I am a bit of a fan of Pour Some Sugar... but sadly I think that's their only good song if this album is anything to go by. If you're going to listen to glam rock, there is so so so much better than this. Don't waste your time.
Riiiigtig hårmetal haha. Hvis jeg er i mood kunne det godt blive en 4, men jeg synes det flyder lidt i baggrunden og har svært ved at huske de individuelle sange
Lots of huge hits. Super 80s styling. Pre one armed drummer. It's fine I guess. By the way. Who needs bass? This record.
Rockin 80s hair metal. Idk, not really a fan of the genre, but this album has enough catchy hits & good energy that it's at least an enjoyable listen.
2/5. A glam metal album that has hints of progressiveness and just plain rock. It is hype and does have an energy of excitedness but unlike Kiss it's not as catchy and unlike AC/DC it's not as cool. It kind of feels like, despite the confidence, they were still experimenting. I wanted to like this more, I'm not above heavy hair metal, but I don't think this album did it for me. It wasn't bad but nothing to write home about. Best Song: Photograph, Foolin', Rock Of Ages
I mean it’s fine. Has some bangers but most of it just sorta washes over me.
It’s pretty fun throughout the album
Classic hair metal
War ok
Really not worth listening to a whole album of these dudes
It was okay
the soundtrack of my pre-teen years. I don't know if it's critically good or bad but I LOVE it!
Muy bueno
Better of the rock
It’s classic hard rock. Some fantastic and some just screaming! But I really enjoyed it.
Jag tycker Def Leppard är jättedåliga, fast lite musikaliskt kanske det är.
This album is more the generation after me and many of my students were fans which prejudiced me against the group a bit - but on a clean, fresh listen, it's pretty good. A bit one-note at times, though.
Cult band.
I'm 13 while listening to this.
Reminds me of being at my dad's house
Been a while I listened to this and out the output that I have heard I prefer Hysteria About as 80s glam metal as you can get.
4.25
Hard rock. An absolute stellar album that rocks hard all the way through.
Correcto para aficionados al heavy.
This one was a lot of fun with some classics. So many great guitar melodies. Fun intersection of pop and heavy metal. It does lose some steam at the end after Rock of Ages but still a great album Rating: 4.5
good album overall, good energy
The songs of my hard rock loving youth! A classic.
Having this album on the same day Trump gets elected is just cruel.
Soooooo lame.
80s Rock needs removing. What were people thinking? I know the limitations, but the drums are beyond bad. Only overshadowed by the rest of this trollop
Me aburrió rápidamente. Algunas cosas nunca debieron salir de los 80.
Not very good
