Free Music Notes for Retro Active
Free Music Review: If I could give it six stars, I would!
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. One word for this album - AWESOME!
I just recently bought all the post-Hysteria CD's so I could play catch-up with this old favorite band of mine, and this release is really a shining star. Def Leppard showed with X and Slang that they can blaze forward with the changing trends, but Retroactive is more of a return to their pre-Pyromania sound - but BETTER! The very first track alone - Desert Song - makes the purchase worth it, and there are numerous tracks in addition to that that just blow me away: Ring of Fire, I Wanna Be Your Hero, and the acoustic and electric versions of Two Steps Behind and I Miss You in a Heartbeat.
HIGHLY recommended. I'll probably buy another copy soon as a stand-by since I have a feeling I'll wear this one out pretty quickly....
Free Music Review: What can I Say!
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say, other than this is yet another fabulous record by the great Def Lepard! Will the hits ever stop, I certainly hope not! From the beginning to the end nothing but pure electicity! Some of my favorites are: "Fractured Love" a sort of jumpy, catchy toon, then "Two Steps Behind" which I am sure most people have heard, from the movie,(Last Action Hero) but you get two versions of this one! Next we have a love song, "Miss You In a Heartbeat", also two versions, just great guys, and then on to, "Ride into The Sun", western style and "From the Inside", great message in this one! I could go on and on but you will have to find out for yourself. Beleive me, if you are a Def Lepard fan, you'll love this one!Free Music Review: The last horrah
Hit: 5 Stars
As a kid in the 80's I grew up with Def Leppard starting from "High N Dry" the all the way through "RetroActive". These guys became the soundtrack of my youth, and I still cherish the early stuff. I somehow feel like the band changed when Steve Clark passed. The sound was similar but without Steve and his low hanging Fender Stratocaster, I lost interest. Many of the songs on RetroActive have Steves last creative input on it, this sadly ended my connection with my favorite band as a kid. I have MANY favorites on this album, such as "Desert Song", "Shes too tough", "Only ater dark", and "Two steps behind" and its a great album with final contrubutions from the guy that gave DL that great rock sound. But this to experience the last truly great album from a 1980's classic.Free Music Review: Finally!
Hit: 5 Stars
A collection of unreleased songs is always good for any band that has been established as one of the hottest and biggest acts around. This is an excellent compilation of Def Leppard songs that didn't make it. Both the acoustic and electric versions of "Miss You in a Heartbeat," and "Two Steps Behind," are probably among the most emotional songs the group has ever produced. "Desert Song" has one of the best solos Clark and Collen ever did, as did "Fractured Love," whose updated intro was simply incredible (being a guitar player myself, I know nothing sounds as good as an E-Bow). Overall, the album is well produced and compiled. A wise choice for Def Leppard to finally release it.Free Music Review: Very good album!
Hit: 5 Stars
For me, this album seemed to have a little more kick to it than the previous 2 albums. With Riding Into The Sun, which was actually a B-side from Hysteria, to Fractured Love & Ring Of Fire, these guys show they can write some excellent tunes and play very catchy riffs. Also the tunes Two Steps Behind & Miss You In A Heartbeat solidified their ballad capabilities. With From The Inside, this is an off the wall totally different tune that I have ever heard from these guys. Basically, this album had a better feel to me and looked like they were headed in the right direction to make another Pyromania (if that is really possible). But, whatever these guys put out, one things for sure. I will be in,line to purchase it.
