Review
Def Leppard are one of the greatest bands to have ever graced God's green earth. Well... not really. They are one of the greatest shitty lowest common denominator hard rock bands ever. That's more like it. In that respect I actually prefer them to Aerosmith.
But this hard rock is not exactly as you know it. The 80's have creeped in in force here, from drum machines and synths to just the way the music is sung, there are many of the things that make people hate the 80s in here.
Today the album lives on its kitsch merits more than anything, Def Leppard are quite a funny band, but not always intentionally. But there is some quite good playing here as well as some good guitar hooks, which unfortunately do not bring the whole genre above mediocre.
