It's bullsh** is what it is. Bad marketing and business decisions.

First, someone really needs to sit the band and label down and explain to them that Long Long Way To Go is NOT the hit single they think it has potential to be. It's the type of song that the casual listener would hear and go "that Def Leppard, all their sh** sounds the same." Worse, it's not even written by the band.

Second, I realize this is basically Vault replaced....and that it is pretty much the singles compiled. Ok. Where the F**K is Promises, Goodbye, Slang, Work It Out, All I Want Is Everything, and Now???? Promote your albums you freakin dipshits!! Pyromania and Hysteria are on average 20 years old! A Best Of is the perfect opportunity to expose casual fans to material other than just crap from Pyro, Hysteria, and Adrenalize. I guarandamntee you if they had done this they'd get people realizing they do have other worthy albums besides the ones released in the 1980s and to go buy them!
