Album Review: Def Leppard - Def Leppard

A hundred million-plus records sold would render some content to merely rake in reissue royalties while entertaining European festival and Vegas residency offers. Not Def Leppard, apparently.

Memorable Dangerous and All Time High could secure radio and set-list space. It's been suggested good artists copy and great artists steal, and the rockers couldn't help themselves here. Let's Go nabs from their own Pour Some Sugar On Me; note Man Enough's Queen-channelling bass groove. Diehards will have few complaints, though. Offer arena-sized hooks and (more saccharine the better) ballads and everyone gets rocked. On that front it largely succeeds, filler aside, although innovation understandably isn't abundant.
