The fade out on All Time High (and Forever Young) is my pet peeve of the album (outside of Let's Go's eye-rolling lyrics.) It's inexcusable. The song is meant to have a stop on a dime ending. I otherwise enjoy it, but when I first heard that fade out creeping on I wanted to throttle someone.

They just really have no place now. They won't be hitting radio.

It entered at 11 in the UK. But that's round about the same level they'd entered at since Euphoria.

Never been too much of a Leppard fan, but Dangerous and Wings Of An Angel took me by surprise. The arrangement obviously lacks the pop genius of Mutt Lange, but otherwise, this is prime class for the band. Might pick this up if I find a cheap copy. How's the packaging, actually?

Got my fan pack and it didn't come with the keychain, anybody else had this problem?

Also, those of you who got the regular version and have seen the fanpack digipak, is the cd booklet much better in the regular version compared to the digipak (which is kinda, shitty)?

I didn't get a keychain with mine.

The regular booklet has the lyrics and promo photos you find in most booklets, so I'd say that is superior. I still haven't gotten around to reading the magazine, but feel I wasted the money. I wound up buying the album three times. The digital, because my fan pack was nowhere to be found near release date on Spotify or any of the others, and the regular CD to obtain the proper booklet. Good thing I'm loving the album.

Mine DID come with the keychain (sorry to rub it in) so maybe it was a UK exclusive?

I've already had a scan through the magazine but not read it thoroughly yet. It was only £1 more than the regular album so I don't feel I was ripped off in any way.

I ended up buying the Mastered for iTunes version just to see how it sounded (plus I'd already bought "Let's Go" from there) and the iTunes version I feel definitely has a bit more punch to it than the CD. The CD seems more brickwalled and not as easy on the ears.

As for the album itself, I'm still enjoying it very much. Mainly digging the first side of the album and it's definitely on a whole other level than SftSL.

Thanks guys for responding.
I complained and they said they were going to send the keychain, so we'll see if that happens.

I quite like the album, Let's Go and Dangerous are instant classics and I actually like Man Enough, it's a cool song. The only thing the album is lacking is a great ballad.

Glad you are getting yours! I double-checked and I do have my keychain in the packet. I guess I forgot or didn't notice it.
