Def Leppard: Joe Elliot (vocals); Steve "Steamin" Clark, Phil Collen, Pete Willis (guitar); Rick Savage (bass); Rick Allen (drums). Additional personnel: John Kongos, Booker T. Roffin, Charile (keyboards); The Leppardettes (background vocals). Recorded at Park Gates Studios, Battle, Sussex, England and Battery Studios, London, England. Although many music fans were convinced that Def Leppard would become hard rock's next big band, few could have predicted the massive across-the-boards success that its third record, 1983's PYROMANIA, achieved. Many wondered why it was taking the group so long to release a follow-up to 1981's HIGH 'N' DRY, but the finished product was well worth the wait. Not only did it become one of the year's best-selling albums and made the band instant U.S. arena headliners, but it has remained a consistent seller ever since (by 1994, it had reached nine million units in the U.S. alone). The songwriting and overall sound was more streamlined and succinct this time around--while there are guitar riffs galore, the songs have more of a pop feel. Founding guitarist Pete Willis left during the recording, replaced by Phil Collen, who fit in perfectly with the band. The album features such mega-hits as "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," and "Foolin'," as well as a couple of other tracks that could have easily been singles as well, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" and "Too Late for Love." PYROMANIA remains one of the best and most popular hard-rock recordings of the '80s.

Reviews  One of the greatest rock albums ever. Period. This is the rock and roll of my teen years, and I still listen to it. Bought this album to burn onto my iPod. Simply one of the best rock albums ever written. Review ID: 10000000007723131 Was this review helpful? Report this review product is exactly as i imaginedReview created: 03/04/08 by: I'm a huge Def Leppard fan, I've been collecting memorabilia from 1988 to present. Now my interest is in their older stuff, especially original items. Something as small as this cd is just one more thing I didn't have in my vast collection. The only down side to this purchase is, it's not brand new, but this way it's more affordable and the most important thing- the cd works like new! Review ID: 10000000005967342 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Not Enough Thomas DolbyReview created: 09/06/07 by: I am probably not the right person to write this review. I am a big Thomas Dolby fan, and I found out that he did the keyboards on it, so I thought I would give it a try, it isn't available on iTunes. I was of course disappointed when I found no palpable trace of Dolby on it. I should say that regardless of that I tried to give it a try on its own - still, I don't like it. But, if you are going to buy it for reasons other than Dolby, you may not find it objectionable. Review ID: 10000000004325106 Was this review helpful?
