Album Notes More than 30 years after the English quintet's inception, Def Leppard have survived and thrived while many of their pop-metal contemporaries have stumbled into obscurity or gone on dubious reunion tours. SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE marks a long-awaited return to the catchy yet edgy hard rock perfected on their career-defining landmark full-length, HYSTERIA (1987). While the band's most successful works were crafted under the strict mentorship of producer Jeff "Mutt" Lange, SPARKLE LOUNGE is a DIY affair, with co-production assistance from live sound engineer Ronan McHugh. First single "Nine Lives" includes a Def Leppard first: guest lead vocals by well-known country singer Tim McGraw. "C'Mon C'Mon" has the stacked background vocals and glam rock swagger that is part and parcel of the group's weathered arsenal. "Tomorrow" packs the kind of stick-to-your-ribs, harmony-laden chorus that is both familiar and fresh. Def Lep in 2008 maintain a contemporary sensibility, yet remain true to their roots. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||
Reviews This new release sounds as if it was released in 1988. Back to the classic Def Leppard we all know and love. Tim Mcgraw's addition to Nine Lives has no bearing on the CD, you wouldn't even know it was him if it wasn't the 1st single and video released off the album. Check out C'mon C'mon (my personal favorite track) Reminds me of a combination of Rocket and Mas Tequilla from Sammy Hagar. 4-1/2 out of 5. Great job guys.

I've seen them grow and mature and overcome some really tough obstacles. I think the Sparkle Lounge is their best since the Pyromania/Hysteria days.

No the are not selling out for more sales. I'm a big fan of Tim McGraw I think you will be surprised on how well Joe's vocal's and Tim's vocal's work on nine lives. The only thing I have to say is buy the album and judge for yourself that ROCK IS BACK! Review ID: 10000000007137504 Was this review helpful?
