Album Notes Def Leppard: Joe Elliot, Phil Collen, Rick Allen, Rick Savage, Vivian Campbell. Recording information: Joe's Garage, Dublin, Ireland. Riding a wave of renewed popularity that began with 2005's well-received ROCK OF AGES retrospective, Def Leppard released YEAH! the following year. Rather than issuing new original material, however, the U.K. group opted to record a set of songs by its late-1960s/early-'70s British (and, in one case, U.S.) rock precursors, effectively going back to its roots. As the lighthearted liner notes and humorous accompanying photos (featuring each band member inserted into a different classic album cover) indicate, frontman Joe Elliot and company clearly had a good time making this disc. While the ensemble offers up fairly straightforward versions of T. Rex's "20th Century Boy" and Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone," David Essex's "Rock On" gets a bright, metallic facelift. Despite the absence of original material, the ensemble hasn't sounded this full of life since '87's smash HYSTERIA. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews  Excited About Yeah 6 of 6 people found this review helpful. I first got a sneek peek about what the album was going to be about when I heard and saw the Rock and Roll Double Header Tour that Def Leppard did this last year. With Rock On and No Matter What being performed. I was well aware that the album was due to come out sometime late in 2005 but as it went the album was later to be released in 2006. I couldn't wait. I love Def Leppards music and I love their take on any song that they like to cover as they put their familuar spin (Leppardizing)on them. This particular album shows just that. It's a great memory kicker if you're familuar with the songs and if your not,the songs are so catchy that you just want to sing along anyway. And as predicted the songs are going to sound fablous live. Even if this record isn't as memorable as Pyromania or Hysteria it is a record that a true Leppard fan should have in their collection. The band does the original artists proud and really does put their stamp on a great recording. As to favorite songs with so many different styles its hard to choose just one. This is a job for the listener but it won't be too hard, one listen or two and everyone will have their favorites. If you're waiting for music to fill in the time till the next studio album,this is the record for you. I have all their albums and I love them all. Guess you can say that I'm really partial to the artists. Get this record. It's worth it. The only down part about the record that I would see is the fact that if you want the bonus tracks that you have to hunt for the other cds. I found this to be a bit difficult and sometimes miss leading in ads about the record. Wished that there had been a cd of the songs and a cd of the bonus tracks as well instead of having to hunt down the ones that contained the bonuses with the original tracks repeated. But if you have them you have extra copies if something happens to the original. But by all means get the record anyway. It's definately something every Leppard fan needs.

This CD marks the early influences of the band. I like the fact that they stay away from obvious influences like the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. And all the songs on the album never reached #1. So, they don't cover the "obvious choices" from each artist. This album showcases Def Leppard's true talent in both singing and playing music. I've listened for over 20 years, and Def Leppard has never sounded better! Review ID: 10000000005710413 Was this review helpful? Report this review  DEF LEPPARD YEAH CD 2006This CD is ok. Def Leppard has gone downhill since the Stang album. I met the drummer. Real nice guy but they don't have what they had in the 80's anymore. I seen them live and they a couple songs from this CD. They are pretty good live. I know they are more of a rock/pop band, but sometimes it goes to far. 6 out of 10. Review ID: 10000000005148877 Was this review helpful?
