Free Music Notes for X

Free Music Review: 9+ HITS = GREAT ALBUM! BUY IT!
Hit: 5 Stars

"UNBELIEVABLE" - More of a ballad in every way than the previous track. Written by two guys that are responsible for hits by Britney Spears and NSYNC. This might make people shy away from this song, but it shouldnt. Who cares who wrote it. Great song, excellent vocals! Joe's voice is right up front. HIT!

"YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL" - People have been calling this "Animal 2002". That might be right in some respects. Has a two part chorus that will have you singing along. A Mid-Tempo Rocker/Ballad. HIT!

"EVERYDAY" - Uptempo ballad that rocks. Sure, any band could of written and recorded this song but they didnt. You'll pick up on the lyrics immediately and be hooked. Demands to be a Top40 hit. Barely 3 minutes long. HIT!

"LONG LONG WAY TO GO" - The best ballad thats EVER come from Def Leppard. If this song wont sell you on buying this album when its released as the second single than nothing else will. This song was best described by another reviewer that said "So beautiful, it makes me wanna cry." This song WILL get radio attention, gauranteed. Features alot of emotional vocals on this tear jerker as well as Phil on spanish guitar. HIT! HIT! HIT!

"FOUR LETTER WORD" - The first "true rocker" on this album. You'd swear this song was written by Angus Young and Brian Johnson of AC/DC from the moment you hear the first few chords and drum beats. Could be on rock radio. Would be awesome live!

"TORN TO SHREDS" - Half Ballad/Half Rocker. Opens with some soft guitar work and bam! You're hit with a huge wall of guitars and it settles back down for the first verse. Then bam! You're hit again with the same wall of guitars and an excellent chorus. A big hit if released. Under 3 minutes and great every second of it. HIT!

"LOVE DONT LIE" - This is a poppy one. A poppy ballad. Has been accused of not having a strong enough hook. I dont think it needs one. Maybe not for everyone though.

"GRAVITY" - Heard "All Night" from Euphoria? "Slang" from Slang? This is the odd-ball on "X". Total pop in every way. I didnt know what to think when I first heard this, but its grown on me. Again, not for everyone. Strong guitars here though. Rick is hard to hear. Shortest song on the album. 2.5 minutes.

"CRY" - Experiemental rock/alt track. Sounds like it could of been recorded for their album "Slang". Made me say "What the hell?" when I heard the chorus kick in but you will love it. One of the harder tracks on the disc. HIT!

"GIRL LIKE YOU" - Total pop here again. Would fit on Euphoria comfortably somehow though. Has a few odd sound effects but a good song overall.

"LET ME BE THE ONE" - Reminds me very much of "Where Does Love Go When It Dies" on the Slang album. Another Ballad, Another Hit!

"SCAR" - The American version of the album ends here. Fans of Pyromania will definitely be satisfied with this track as it features two awesome guitar solo's and Joe Elliott cuts loose as well. Could of come right off of Pyromania. Rock radio would love it. HIT!
Dont ponder over whether to buy this album or not, just buy it. Hell, I'd buy it for you if I could. I've bought four copies so far and plan to buy the import versions down the road for the extra tracks "Kiss the Day" and an acoustic version of "Long Long Way To Go". If you can accept that Leppard is now "Pop/Rock" and no longer "Rock/Pop" and dont mind a few ballads than you owe it to yourself to buy this album. Phil and Vivian dont exactly break a sweat on this album for the most part, but so what!?! Ask someone to buy it for you if you're afraid of being burned. Whatever it takes..get it! Thanks for reading..
