hysteria is one of the greatest rock albums of all time

I won't buy it unless it comes with a B-side of the acoustic version of Love Bites. I heard that Mutt first brought the song and played it acoustically, like an Eagles song. I am very curious to hear this version.

DEF LEPPARD GO DELUXE: Next up from Def Leppard - a Deluxe Edition of their all time best selling classic album Hysteria. As yet there are no details available, but the same treatment was recently given to label mate Melissa Etheridge's landmark 1988 self-titled debut, which featured the following: - The original album completely remastered. - A second disc with live material from that same year -- a ten-song set at L.A.'s Roxy, and five acoustic performances. - Expanded liner notes. What will The Leps come up with?? |

Def Leppard - Hysteria (Delux Edition)
I don´t consider Hysteria my favourite album either, I think Def Leppard have made better albums since, but it´s definitely a good album. I only have a vinyl copy of the album which I bought cheap a few years back and I´ve downloaded the mp3´s and ripped the remastered tracks off the Best Of, but I would still love a totally remastered version of the whole album so I´m definitely buying this. I hope they do this with more of their albums aswell.

But Hysteria, the album, was the most "singled"-out album I've ever known. The songs on the entire first side of the album (vinyl) were all released as singles in the U.S.. Worldwide...Everything but God's of War, Don't Shoot Shotgun, Run Riot, and Love and Affection had been released as singles. I'd probably love it more if it wasn't the fact they released Adrenalize after it and it just sealed them into the whole late 80 hair era for eternity as far as most of the world is concerned no matter what they did after that. Changing direction appropriately immediately after Hysteria to a more serious and mature direction as well as experimental was what they needed to do. I try to block Adrenalize from my mind as ever happening. This allows me to consider Hysteria on it's own merits. It's a commercially appealing album that yet is quite artistic and ground breaking. It set a trend that would be driven into the ground by poor imitators..which is what always happens when something is that good. They had real balls releasing Women as the first video and single in the U.S. In fact, it's hard to believe it was a single at all. It's the kind of song you regard as "album rock" Not the lead single. But they did it anyway. I know I was floored when I saw the video premiere on MTV as an exclusive. I saw a band that had matured physically and artistically. It was so bizarre that although the lyrics should off off as ridiculous...the fact is you have this bombastic machismo colliding with sonic sophistication and you wind up getting a surreal experience. There was just nothing like it. It opens the album and it basically warns you to open your mind and not set expectations. I do prefer Pyromania for the fact it is edgier lyrically and do tear it up compared to Hysteria with songs like Too Late, Die Hard, Foolin, Billy's Got A Gun. But the two albums really do complement each other very well. Hysteria never delivers the satisfying "rip-roar" that Pyromania does, but vice versa Pyromania never offered much in terms of midtempo or laidback grooves. You go to each album individually for different things. So I'm surprised this announcement is not including Pyromania. The two albums are always paired together so why stop now? |
