DEF LEPPARD: SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE

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.

When guitar solos aren’t widdling away, they’re squawling like distant beasts.

***BUY THIS CD NOW!***

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
