Def Leppard - Hysteria Reviews

Bottom-Line: Hysteria is a must have for any fan of the band, or for someone who wants to appreciate the musical genius of one "Mutt" Lange.                    

I like to think of myself a connoisseur of all types of music; as long as it is good I will listen and appreciate.  Of course I get to be the judge of what is good and what isn't; and for me most (hard) rock-n-roll doesn't sound good to me.  So it was a surprise when one day while watching MTV (a rare occasion), sometime in the latter part of the last century that a video (Pour Some Sugar on Me) by the now legendary...

What can I say about this album? I can still listen to it on repeat in my car after all these years. The album is such a coherent, consistent group of great tunes it sounds like a Greatest Hits CD (and everyone knows those are the ones you really listen to, unless you're a mix-maker, which is even better.)

The sound is complex and multi-layered, full of harmonies and stacked guitar riffs, and definitely on the melodic pop side of the musical scale. It's hard to even call it metal sometimes, though that's where it was classified due to the sound of Def Leppard's previous albums, but it does have...

Def leppard hysteria:this has to be one of the best bands out there, and they are still rocking after all this time.

I guess some of my favorite songs are pour some sugar on me, hysteria and also rock of ages.

This CD is classic Robert John "Mutt" Lange material, who is married to and produces Shania Twain.  He is an absolute productions genius.        

Hysteria is probably Def Leppard's best work and is  one of the greatest rock albums ever.    Due to Rick Allen losing an arm in an auto accident, the CD almost never made it to the studio for recording. Also, the band had disagreements with producers, and the album was in shambles before Lange came on board, writing songs and producing. 

This is a CD for the record books, and for rock fans of all ages.
