When Def Leppard arrived on American shores with 1980's ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, they were lumped with a New Wave of British Heavy Metal that also counted Iron Maiden part of the movement. Yet even then, the Sheffield quintet's inescapable pop sense separated them from their heavier brethren. As the '80's progressed, Def Lep soldiered on through tragedy, lengthy multi-year stays in the studio and quite a few world tours. VAULT culls the hits from the millions of albums they sold by way of MTV ("Photograph"), soundtracks ("Two Steps Behind"), and obvious sexual innuendo ("Pour Some Sugar On Me"). Influenced by the glam postures of Mott The Hoople, Bowie, T. Rex and Slade, Def Lep transformed their love of these artists into a sound shaped by Joe Elliott's raspy vocals, the synergy fueled by Phil Collen (who replaced Pete Willis in '83) and the late Steve Clark's guitars, and Rick Allen's punchy backbeat (seemingly unaffected by his loss of an arm in '85). Heavy guitars, sweet hooks and a rare ability to balance a harder-edged side ("Foolin'") with earnest power ballads ("Bringin' On The Heartbreak") show why Def Lep continue to soldier on long after pop-metal's '80s heyday, and they make VAULT a safe worth cracking.

Top Reviews  A great compilation from Sheffield's finest!!Review created: 09/28/06 by:  6 of 8 people found this review helpful. I love Def Leppard.....one of the best bands to come out of the UK rock scene. They have stood the test of time releasing hit after hit, and this album is a testament to that!! Taking 15 hits from over 10 years in the business - the plethora of which come from their two biggest albums - Pyromania and the superb must have Hysteria! Def Leppard are an interesting band....part rock, part metal with a catchiness that could even be deemed to have a slight pop edge; either way, they have a certain degree of commercialization about them that makes you want to listen again and again!! The lyrics they employ tend to be cheesy at best though they have some tracks that take it a bit deeper and more personal to reflect different aspects of the bands history including losing a bandmates a drug addiction - but all their songs simply rock!! On this album it is hard to know what to single out...so lets start at the beginning with Pour Some Sugar on Me - heavily played on many a radio station even today and amongst mnay other credits - the anthem of strippers everywhere - this song is fantastic!! Taken from the multiplatinum Hysteria, its lyrics are sexist, cheap but boy do they work!! It rocks!! Photograph follows, and though never a favorite of mine, it certainly deserves a place on this compilation. Love Bites - a rock ballad is another great track as are the other Hysteria entries on this album - Rocket and Animal! Lets get Rocked is silly and cheesy....but I do like it - from Adrenalize and Rock of Ages is another stellar offering !! There is a good combination of catchy rock and ballads such as Have you Ever Needed someone so Bad!! This is a great album...I may have these tracks and others on their albums...but it is so great to have them all here in one place to remind us what a great and they are!!
