    Hysteria part II

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 15, 2002

    After waiting another 5 years for the Lep's to release a new album(where unfortunately their mainstay lead guitarist Steve Clark passed away while recording), Adrenalize tried too hard to live up to its mighty predecessor.The album is just too poppy ...and predictable in such tracks as 'Heaven is', 'Make Love Like a Man'(A nice sequel to Pour Some Sugar on Me), and the power pop 'Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad.' There are some good tracks such as the opener in 'Lets Get Rocked', and the very nice tribute to Steve Clark in 'White Lighting.' The latter being as close to the quality of Hysteria on this outing.Overall, I though Lep could come up with something much better than Adrenalize. They stayed with the tried and true formula of Hysteria, but even made it more pop metally in the process.Its okay for the time, but thankfully they realized this and released some great rockers on 'RetroActive.' This album restored my faith in the band again:) Read more Less

    Re: SO UNDERRATED

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 6, 2001

    You are so right! I love this album. When it came out, I was only in 9th grade and enjoyed it thoroughly. Of course MTV made it easier and I was such an MTV nut back then. Still..however commercial and mainstream it was, I love listening to songs lik...e Heaven Is, Make Love Like A Man, Let's get Rocked, White lightning, Stand Up, I Wanna Touch You et all. I dont care if early Lep fans dismiss this album. Adrenalize was for a long time my all time favorite Lep album until I listened to Hysteria. After all it came out in 1992..a time when in my opinion, a lot of genius albums like U2's Achtung Baby and R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People were made. Read more Less

    SO UNDERATED

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 30, 2001

    This is the most under rated Def Leppard album. Its better than 'Euphoria' and as good as 'Piromania'. Its only beaten by the might of 'Hysteria' and thats because it's the greatest album of all time.'Have you ever needed someone so bad' is one of th...e best love songs ever and 'Stand Up' is amazing. If you were young when thos album came out you will love it as much as 'Hysteria'. The people who slag it off were probably in there prime in the 80's and are just, old bitter codgers.

    GET ROCKED!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 30, 2001

    This album ruled! I loved every song on the entire album. I've got "Pyromania", "Hysteria", "Adrenalize", and "RetroActive" and have listened to them all except "RetroActive", and so far I have loved every song on each album I've heard. That's why... Def Leppard is great. I especially liked "Let's Get Rocked", "White Lightning", I would've liked to given this album a 4.5 because that's what I think it deserves. Although I like every song on this album, I liked "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" better, they were just better quality. But I give "Adrenalize" such a good rating for three reasons. One, I like the music on it. Two, I take into account they lost Steve Clark and Phil Collen has to take over and does a good job of it. Three, it's in the 90's and a lot of heavy metal greats didn't quite make it. Read more Less

    You can't keep this band down

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 5, 2000

    Even with Steve gone Def Leppard still rocks just as hard.Don't get me wrong I really miss Steve but you have to move on when your as big as Da Leps.Plus they have to songs witch I'm sure that will not be forgottin if you have this album, and they a...re: Make Love Like A Man, and I Wanna Touch You.Last but not least Vivian Campbell has worked out nice with the rest of the guys. Long Live DEF LEPPARD Read more Less
