Thoughts?

FFS I have to Google the video?!
Lazy, is my thoughts

No surprises here. Classic Def Leppard.

No riffs like Billy's Got A Gun, anymore? The song is passable, I suppose.

Another step (a bigger one) in the right direction:

That song has something going in the right direction.

S___E.

Despite looking older than my grandad's bollocks these new tracks and last album were the sound of a band in fine form. That is as long as you were a Def Leppard fan in the 1st place. If you've always hated DL then you'll still think they're a pile of wank and the new stuff is evidence of that.

Posted By: InfernoI think I might actually like this new album. Could be the first good one since 1983. Is that Joe Elliott on the Take What You Want song?

You're getting soft in your middle age. :P

Yes, that's Joe Elliott on lead vocals o TWYW. He's completely lost the grittiness in his voice.

Def Leppard really enjoy their circus videos:

Posted By: ThankassThe most positive thing about that Kick video is that Phil Collen finally kept his clothes on.

Ha! But when he's not wearing a shirt, his overly muscular torso has an effect of distracting you from his 90 year old face.

I am proud to say that I got quoted in Classic Rock magazine for mentioning that Phil could wear a shirt every once in a while and we'd all be okay with it. : )

I bet Joe’s old lady had a good laugh at these lines:

You're the tonic to my thirst
Sweet nectar of sin
I keep runnin' away
But you keep draggin' me in
And I just can't stop it
All night, every day

I do not like Fire It Up as well as the other two.

Posted By: CantEvenFeedMyCatSounds a bit like they were trying to recreate Pour Some Sugar On Me in the verses, including the lyrics which were originally a random cut-and-paste job with Mutt and everyone throwing lyrical ideas into the ring.

Exactly.

Fire It Up isn't that good. Sounds like they wanted to recreate sounds of the Hysteria album two generations later. I liked Take What You Want. Some cool harmonies and more depth to that song.

That's what I like about it. They were at their best in the 80s so I like that they are going back to that sound.

Posted By: Alex LebanonThey're shit now and they were shit then.

Why even post if this is all you have to add? Just close the thread.

I expect these comments from Billy but not you.

Aw, c'mon, at least "Photograph" is sooo 80s and nostalgic to the max XD I kinda love it for that

So good and cheesy, could almost have been a song by Journey (I guess that's why I like it:)

No worries Alex, just caught me at a bad moment. :)

I know Def Leppard aren't for everyone.

Today I set some time aside to listen to the new album. Actually, that's bollocks, I needed to cook and eat some food, go for a shit and clip my toenails, so I put it on in the background whilst doing those.

It's alright actually. It made me feel quite nostalgic for the 80s, cheesy films etc. I'd say it's no more than 20% filler. I might even buy the vinyl.
