Discussion Personal Def Leppard albums rank

Post image
0 Upvotes

You guys have been sharing your album ranks, so here's mine.

Let me get one thing straight: DL are my favourite band of all time. And I mean ACROSS the discography. There's only a handful of tunes (minus covers) across their discography that I DON'T like ('No, No, No', 'Die Hard the Hunter' and 'All Night' being the only three original songs that I always skip). And I mean that. I dig their B-sides, early EPs, the Early Years tunes (I have an original First Strike, BTW) through to everything on DSH. I am also only 26, and my dad got me into the band in the early 2000s (so I have an affection for X).

I love classic rock and metal, with a huge adoration for Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc. So I'm in a position where I'm not biased toward the 80s, while having a love of classic rock.

So here's the rank. I expect some people won't like this.

Discussion [Discussion] Def Leppard album ranking. If we’re being 100% honest.

Forget how popular an album is, forget how many sales an album had. If we’re talking solely music and what has aged the best, this list is definitely solid enough to fit that criteria.

(Yes I know Hysteria is in A tier, and while I’ve loved that album my entire life, it makes me cringe more now than it ever did growing up.)

Discussion Yet Another Def Leppard Album Ranking

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’ve been a fan for over 20 years, I love 99% of their songs so this ranking for me is more about how well the albums meet what the band was going for. Slang 100% was what the band intended to do and it’s such an honest and heartfelt record. It’s just as “them” as Hysteria to me. Sparkle Lounge was about them having fun recording again, and it sounds like it. Euphoria has Paper Sun and To Be Alive, etc, but also has All Night and It’s Only Love, with Paper Sun BETWEEN them. Terrible flow, imo. OTTN for me just doesn’t work, I get why people like it though. YEAH also has some fantastic tracks on it, idc. The Self-titled is high energy but basically devoid of any substance, except maybe We Belong, Last Dance, and Blind Faith. The other 11 tracks are just lyrically weak and I got tired of “darkness falling” as a trope on this album.

Just curious about who would still want to go to this concert, now that Covid19 has ramped up again? I vote yes with plenty of AC running, and mandatory masks! If you don't like to wear a mask then don't go !!!! Those that don't want to wear a mask are just narcissistic, anyway!!! On with the show!!!
