Cant fault it, like Def Leppard in a big way and up to now anything they have covered from the 70's and 80's has been faultless, and now a full disc of covers!!! Pop Nirvana !!! Some slow, some rockin, some just plain pop, and although unmistakably Def doin it, most are sound perfect to the originals with just the slightest 'twist' to tell you who's performing the track and that Joe is doin the singing. Had about half of these downloaded from net thinking they were just plain old 'b' sides, but all deserve to be compiled into an album, especially if you can get it for around the £4/5 mark, would cringe at paying full album price (£9+?) for it though. So, if you are into Def Leppard and have fond memories of the chart toppers in the seventies and eighties, have a look at the tracks, and if you like what you see, I dont think you'll be put off by the sound, and if you can get it for around a fiver, go for it!Read full review
I was curious to see how the leps did cover versions of some classic songs. would they just go through the motions or would ther put their own spin on the tracks? would there be true variety or just same quitar sound 10 or 12 times and a big Solo ? well they certainly weren't just going through the motions but they didn't just scrap the original feel of the song either, hanging on a telephone being a good example. the guitar sound was heavier as you might expect, but the tune bounced along as the original did and was taken seriously rather than sending it up as some covers do . there was variety too with waterloo sunset and the thin lizzy classic the boys are back in town being amongst the highlights. this is well worth a listen, whilst it's not Hysteria by any means it still stands as a credible album in it's own right. give it a go.Read full review
