My album arrived on Saturday (God bless Play.com!) and it's good. All songs that I loved before with the sound and production quality of Def Leppard.

I wouldn't say it's an essential purchase though, even for long-term fans, but I'm kinda thursty for a new Leppard album so this will have to do for now.

There are 3 versions in US alone:

1. Regular version with 14 tracks
2. Best Buy version with 2 bonus tracks
3. Target version with 2 bonus tracks (different from Best Buy's)

PLUS Walmart bonus EP (5 tracks NOT in any of the album versions + 3 interviews)

and I tunes is selling one bonus track not in any of those albums.

I hate it. Why don't they just release a double album and be done with it.

FYI for the US fans: The Leps will be on Jay Leno tonight!!

I don't think it's quite as simple as that.. original albums will obviously take far longer to record/master whereas with doing a covers album you have the basis laid out for you. Although having said that I think Def Leppard did delay this album a couple of times but that was probably more down to finalising exactly what songs they were going to have on there. My personal view is that this is a nice album, not quite sure whether it is worth the £11 I paid for it yet but I'm glad I got it. Some great covers on there of songs I'd never heard before and it kind of introduces you to 'new old bands' if you get what I mean.. It's like the 70s with a modern sound at the end of the day. It's also nice to read the insert there and see their take on how they gre up musically.

For all of those across the pond my gift to you:

Here's the link to their performance on the Tonight Show. They do Twentieth Century Boy and then there is another link to hear Rock On!


They are sounding really really good!! Much better than when I saw them last summer! Check it out!

YEAH! entered the UK charts at a very dissapointing No.52!! Its Def Leppards worst ever album chart entry! By the way, i really love this album, any Def Leppard fans who dont own it should definatly go to the shops and get it! Higlights of the album for me include: Rock On, Little Bit Of Love, Golden Age Of Rock and Roll, and Waterloo Sunset. This album sounds like a regular Def Leppard album in my opinion, but its widened my horizons and has introduced me to some great music!

Ali.
