I'm just loving "Dangerous" right now. Instant highlight, as is "Invincible". I like Sav's dirty, grimy bass intro and the guitar parts do sound a bit like "Radio Saved My Life Tonight" in parts, but like BP said, that guitar progression is quite common.
I've noticed "Energized" is a track that could have directly been taken from the X sessions. It's got that slushy poppy sound to it. It's not a bad thing at all, and I appreciate the album is just doing its job of covering all the bases of the bands career.
"All Time High" is pretty much what you'd expect a Def Leppard song with such a title to sound like, which is fine. When the song fades out as Joe sings in the higher register, he sounds almost like he did in the High 'n' Dry/Pyromania days! Something he probably hasn't done since those albums.
The second half of the album is still a bit of a blur but some songs are defining themselves to me gradually. "Wings of an Angel", "Last Dance" and "Forever Young" are making a name for themselves in my head slowly.
