CD Description
Released nearly five years after the world-dominating, multi-platinum success of HYSTERIA, Def Leppard's ADRENALIZE wasa poor candidate for success. Surprisingly, considering it emerged in the wake of both the grunge explosion and the alcohol-related death of Leppard lead guitarist Steve Clark, the album topped the charts. Hits like "Let's Get Rocked" and "Stand Up" delivered the same combination of fist pounding arena rock and smooth power balladry that characterized the group's biggest hits, but with an even slicker sheen. The last of Def Leppard's Mutt Lange-produced efforts, ADRENALIZE brought one chapter of the group's history to a close, setting the stage for the stripped-down sound of the follow-up, 1996's SLANG.

Customer Reviews

More hardships overcome & The Leps produce the goods
Contains a few more average tracks but it was always going to be difficult to follow "Hysteria"! The single output from the album is a good yardstick of it's quality (i.e. "Heaven is", "Tonight", "Ever Needed Someone...") although "Let's Get Rocked" and "Make Love Like a Man" already sound a bit dated and were perhaps the Leps first example of 'disposable rock'.

"White Lightning" is the stand-out track for me, at 7:37 it is another 'anthem' in many ways bigger than its "Gods of War" 'cousin' on "Hysteria".

Short but great.
First album recorded after guitarist Steve Clark's premature demise.For that the band can be forgiven for what is a perhaps a slightly short album. However all the tracks are really good, the best being 'Heaven Is', 'Let's get Rocked', 'Tear It Down' and 'Make Love Like A Man'.If u r buying a Def leppard album for the first time then get HYSTERIA, otherwise this is another great album from DEF LEPPARD.

Let's be honest...
Let's be honest...this is never a "great" album. It's ok, and there is no shortage of hooks, but the lyrics are so bad they really put you off. Come on - "She's personal property", "make love like a man, i'm a man" - for christ's sake. At least AC/DC can do misogny/lewdness with humour or tongue in cheek as well as better tunes. That said there are a couple of good tracks on here - White Lighting, Tonight, Tear it Down. Worth a listen but please, it's not a great album.
