Universal. 2008. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the Best Commercial Rock Albums Ever! But What a Disappointment!This is after the brilliant "Hysteria" Def Leppard's second best album by far and no mean feat considering the drummer only had one arm by this time and Steve Clark had just died! Almost every track is brilliant and the hit single "Let's Get Rocked" is actually one of the weaker tracks too! It's frightening how much better it'll sound once they get around to remastering this thing. Unfortunately, this is not one of those times. Given the very hefty price tag on this thing in order ... Read More Rating:  - Steve would be proud!I reluctantly bought this CD because I am a huge Steve Clark fan and it was done after his death. I figured it couldn't have been any good if Steve wasn't involved. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, the Leps dedicated the CD to Steve, along with the song White Lightning, and (best of all!), most of the tunes were co-written by Steve. The music is pure Hysteria Leppard with a couple of notable exceptions that sound as if they could have been done in their Pyromania days ("Tear It ...

This ablum is the Hysteria scrap heap (admittedly so by the band)...The band lost is chemistry (and all ability to write wicked riffs) when their most talented member, Clark, passed away. A true shame that one of the greatest bands ever continues to destroy their legacy because there is money to be made. Save your cash and buy High N' Dry, Pyromania and Hysteria...3 incredibly ... Read More Rating:  - The Big MistakeI think this album was doomed to fail. You had a predecessor that could not be equalled yet the band was intent on matching it by essentially recording the same album over again. On top of that you had original guitarist Steve Clark slowing drinking himself to death which he finally accomplished in 1991. Mix that all up with the horrible state of hair metal in the early 90's and you have a problem. People forget that bands like Poison, Winger, etc were still putting out albums and getting good record ... Read More Rating: - Last hurrah for Hair Metal before grunge killed it off. Pretty impressive sales, but still the weakest of the Decade Trilogy. ADRENALIZE, is, in many ways, not only the end of an era for Def Leppard, but for hair/pop metal as well. Between 1983, when PYROMANIA came out, and this album came out (in 1992), the band had endured tragedy and continual setbacks. Drummer Rick Allen lost an arm in a car accident, and had to learn how to play drums all over again. Steve Clarke drifted in and out of alcoholism, and went thru several rehab periods. They tried recording the followup to HYSTERIA, but ultimately the project took ... Read More |
