DEF LEPPARD: SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE

Story Image


Rockers Def Leppard are back with more metal cliche

Friday May 9,2008

IT would take a better man than me to distinguish 2008 Leppard from heyday 1987 Leppard, as the obedience to metal cliché is note perfect.

Ballad beginnings such as Love start sensitively then erupt into virtuoso displays.

Lyrics: “I wanna breakdown, I wanna shakedown” actually rhyme.

They’ve done it, again.

LABEL: Mercury
VERDICT: 2/5
