Well you know how they do their famous closing at every show "Don't forget us and we won't forget you"? It seems alot of fans have kind of forgotten them. Like I said it's too bad because they have so many really great songs that never get old.

Yeah even following what they've been up to, this is massive surprise release.

I was thinking recently it’s been several years now since their last album and half-assumed that they were unlikely to make more after that. The new single is ok for me, nothing special. But I’m sure the rest of the album will have at least some songs that I’ll really like. The last 2 albums, while being fairly average IMO, had at least one song each that I considered amongst their best (Go, Tomorrow, Dangerous) so hopefully this new album will at least have that.

I really like the track. Very 70's British Glam Rock sounding. Which i guess is to be expected, as the album title is from a T-Rex song!

I really liked the last album but at 14 songs and 15 songs on this one....not everything hits with me. I think they could have taken the best 10 or 12 on Def Leppard and made a killer album.

Kick isn't doing much for me but I like that it wasn't just a rehash of Pour Some Sugar on Me like Let's Go was.

Def Leppard (2015) was decent but only a few songs really jumped out at me, like “Dangerous” and “Let’s Go”. I think you’re right, maybe if it was cut down to 10-12 songs it would have been a more solid album. And I am glad that “Kick” is at least not another “PSSoM” clone like “Let’s Go” and “Undefeated”, even though I liked both of those.

I thought Let's Go was dreadful, it was a very poor Sugar clone, but to me it was like One Direction trying to do Def Leppard. It had a horrible sickly sweet pop feel about it. Can't stand it. Kick has much more balls!

On the last album I preferred stuff like Battle Of My Own and Wings Of An Angel. I found the majority of it hard work.

Yeah that's fair. There are songs I LOVE (Sea of Love, Battle of My Own, Wings of An Angel, Blind Faith) and a whole lot of songs that are.....FINE I guess? Just a lotta fat on these albums.
