Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Def Leppard's rock sensibilities shot them right to the top of the charts in the 1980s. On their third album, Pyromania, the band reconciled new wave melodicism with heavy metal and catchy hooks without compromising any of its edge. The album has sold over 10 million copies, due in part to heavy rotation on MTV. But even without their ubiquitous television presence, anthems like "Rock of Ages" and "Foolin'" still had the stuff that drove the kids crazy. Bursts of screaming guitars and simple power riffs joined forces with choruses that begged to be shouted along to. Guitarists Phil Collen and Steve Clarke may have provided all the pyrotechnics on Pyromania, but the focal point of Def Leppard's sound, particularly for their teenage female fans, was singer Joe Elliott's voice (and, of course, his hair). The record--an essential brick in the foundation of '80s metal--also contains the hit "Photograph". --Steve Gdula Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Leppard ExcellenceThere are a few albums that personify my youth and this is one of them. Pyromania is a classic album, ahead of its time and there isn't one duff track. Many believe that its successor, Hysteria, is superior, but although it is a fantastic album, I found it more quantity than quality. This album though just rocks, and it really did come to characterize the '80s. Released in 1983, it was a massive success in the USA, but, for some reason, UK audiences took time to catch on to its class. Only Michael Jackson's Thriller album sold more copies in the States. From the opening Rock, Rock ('Til you drop), through to the haunting Billy's Got a Gun - via the way of live standards Photograph, Die Hard the Hunter and Rock of Ages ... Read More: Rating: - Better than hysteriaJust thought I would add to the praise by saying that this is up there with the best rock albums of all time: unlike Hysteria, this has no duff tracks, every song is brilliant. Rock of Ages still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...Billy's got a Gun is one of the Lep's best lyrics...and Photograph is the perfect pop/rock single. The only downside to this album - like all truly great albums - is that you are forever in mourning that the band cant recreate the feat (I've just bought sparkle lounge!!). But celebrate one of the finest records ever made. Rating: - Caution: May cause you to be a lifelong Leps fanOften overlooked by the music press, who seem to prefer Hysteria, I think that Pyromania may be the best thing Def Leppard ever did. Don't get me wrong, Hysteria is amazing but this, for me just steals it by a shade. At this stage Steve Clarke was still alive and Rick Allen still had not had that awful car crash. During the making of this album second guitarist Pete Willis was to leave to be replaced by the dazzling talents of Phil Collen. This is the album that said "Hello world, we are Def Leppard, take notice!", especially in America where "Photograph" made them household names. Produced by Mr. Shania Twain, (Mutt Lange)it features the excellent rockers Comin' Under Fire, Foolin' Rock Rock Til You Drop, Billy's Got A Gun and Stagefright. ...

Lock the door, plug in the air guitar and attain musical nirvana. Rating: - The Best Album Ever...?The naivety of 'On Through The Night' promised nothing like this, while the excellent 'High 'N' Dry' layed the foundations but...Jeezus, this album was amazing. Probably the one that made stadium (or poodle) rock the monster that it became. Opener Rock rock (till you drop) showed no compromise and kept the Leps true to their metal roots. However, this was a band determined to show that they could leap way beyond the NWOBHM from where they came. Photograph took the world by storm, and rightly so. A gorgeous, melodic rock homage to one of the century's most beautiful icons. Stagefright was to start the live set for many years to come, while the stunning Too late for love would leave the audience gagging for more. One of hard rock's ... Read More: |
