I always hesitate when I hear people say about any band, “I like their old stuff more.” Of course people like the old stuff more. “The old stuff” has the benefit of history and the time/place/meanings people attach to it. They’ve gotten to live with those songs for years. New stuff by any band doesn’t have that advantage. For that reason, I usually avoid comparing new material to a “classic” album by the same band. Rather, I just try to judge the new stuff on their own merits and let time decide whether I will think it’s “classic” or not. By that measure, I’ve liked every song Def Leppard have released of this new album.
So far, I’ve liked the songs that have been previewed from this forthcoming album. The songs seem to rock hard, as the drums sound more acoustic, less electronic, and the guitars seem more distorted.
Just picked up the album from the Amazon locket as well as the new Micheal Schenker so I’ll be listening to it on the weekend
A very solid Def Leppard album. In addition to three songs already released that are excellent, “SOS Emergency,” “Liquid Dust,” and “All We Need” are awesome songs. The Alison Krauss contributions are minimal so people don’t need to think Leppard is going rogue country. These guys continue to create and produce music that can compete with any other music out there.
I listened to the full album yesterday. I did notice, at least one song with Krause on it, had a little country twang to it.
This is an excellent new album, highly recommend.
