Customer Reviews:
there was a reason to hold out for this release! December 23, 2008 Judacia (California) I bought a copy on vinyl (before I started going to cassette tapes), and I never bothered buying this album on cassette or CD. Then I learned that it was being released as a deluxe double disc set. I've waited long enough, and it was worth it! This was/is my first DL album, and the boys still sound great. [Sadly, we lost Steve Clark, and Rick Allen's left arm. RIP]
The greatest rock album of all time! December 6, 2008 Socrates_Disciple (Planet Earth) My title says it all. If you consider yourself a fan of rock and roll, you MUST own this album!
Best Def Leppard Album November 12, 2008 Juan Isava (Caracas, Venezuela) I think this was one of my first rock tapes, along with Aerosmith's "Permanent Vacation" and Great White's "Once Bitten Twice Shy". I loved this album top to bottom, for all the great songs it has, still today I have most of it on my IPOD and enjoy very much listening to them: Armageddon, Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me are outstanding rock songs and the whole album is worthwile playing straight up. Catchy choruses, guitar riffs and great melodies for those few who haven't heard this album already, are in this great (for me their best) CD. Must have if you're born in the late 70's!!!
far from my favorite yet undeniable as a classic October 22, 2008 Doc Shred Hysteria isn't my favorite Def Leppard album (I rank Pyromania #1 and High N Dry #2) but it's impossible to deny the impact or popularity the band achieved with this release. There are a ton of great hit songs on here, and no Def Leppard collection should be without Hysteria. My favorite tracks include: Women, Rocket, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria, Armageddon It, and Love Bites.
Great Album, but read on BEFORE you buy on vinyl! October 17, 2008 A. Rapp As mentioned below, this is an awesome album- in fact, one of Def Leppard's greatest! Before you purchase this, however, don't pay attention to the reviews below that list this as coming with a second record with lots of extras. Like me, you'll be getting your hopes up and be disappointed a bit once it arrives. This LP is just that- a single 12" with all the original songs... no previously unreleased material, just the ORIGINAL album ONLY. I blame this on Amazon, as they should really be careful to separate comments that go with CD versions and vinyl. Do you really want the best sounding version? Go with this no-frills, vinyl version rather than the CD- I HIGHLY recommend it!
