If you haven't heard at least one song from this album...where the hell have you been??? LOL

This album was years in the making, waiting on Rick Allen to get back to drumming after losing an arm in a car accident. It could have been the death of the band, waiting to put the album out, but was ironically their biggest album to date.

Hits Include:
Women
Rocket
Animal
Love Bites
PourSome Sugar On Me
Hysteria
Armageddon It

Other Tracks:
Gods Of War
Don't Shoot Shotgun
Run Riot
Excitable
Love and Affection

My personal favorite from this album would have to be Excitable. It's upbeat, and it just makes you feel great. If you like your rock with some sexy overatures and fun undertones, then BUY THIS!!

I know most people love this album, but I absolutely hate it. It sounds too electronic and cold for me. Give me High n Dry or Pyromania anyday.

This is a good album. The only problem was that the singles off this album were overplayed.

This album is the 1980s at its finest. Its a little on the commercial side(after all, look who produced it) but it closed out the 80s spending well over a year in the top 40 and had a run of almost 2 years. I still remember "love Bites" and "Never Tear us apart" by INXS fighting for the number 1 position on my local charts in October of 1988.

It might not have the raw edge of Pyro or the albums before it but this was the height of the bands career after all.

And then adrenelize came out in April of 1992. Ugh.

This disc brings back memories of my youth and many repeated listens drinking beer around a fire that we would sneak off too. Not a bad song on it(except the previous post saying that some was overplayed which is so true)and with over an hour of music you needn't had to change the disc. Oh yeah, I still listened to the cassette then. Auto Reverse was a wonderful thing!

Pyromania was their best but I wouldnt' trade this LP for the world. Along with these great tracks serves a memory of a drive, a friend, a lover, an moment. This is one of those cd's that can take you back in time feeling the soft fall wind on your cheeks and scent of rain in the air.

Anyone throwing a half decent party during this time had to have this album handy for it to be a great night :D

I loved Pyromania, so I was extremely excited for the release of Hysteria, and yes I liked it, still do to some extent, but man they really overplayed the singles especially Poor Some Sugar on Me. They beat that song to death like a rented mule

Spring Break: 1 Week
Le Baron Convertible: 14K
One CD: Def Leapord's Hysteria
Driving Up and Down the Beach Blaring the One CD Over and Over Again: Priceless

Hysteria was a great album, but I'd never trade my copy of Pyromania for it. The hits were way overplayed, but I still turn em up whenever I hear em. :D

I couldn't quite get into Def Leppard, but Hysteria was a good song.

Lots of great songs on this album. This was true 80s rock. Anyone into rock music of the 80s should have this album...

Amen!!! Very Very excellent album.
Maybe some of the tracks are overplayed. but Please! It's Def Lep.
Armageddon It's my fav song off the album, and my fav Def Lep song. To me, it was never overplayed.

HUGE album! Just about everyone I knew at the time bought it! A girl at High School gave it to me on cassette!! I remember it was Red and it had the pyramid shaped Def Leppard logo on it! I listened to it over and over for weeks!
I have no idea why Gods Of War was never a single? too political?!? I don't know, but it's my favorite song they do and if they don't play it when I go to see them in November, I'm going to Run Riot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn!!! You're so lucky. Please! let us know how it goes. Or better yet, take me with ya. LOL.
