Free Music Review: The Leps give us a review of their soft-rocking influences
Hit: 3 Stars
Well, I guess I'd better preface this by saying I'm a fan of Def Leppard's more hard-rocking stuff like "Pyromania" and "Retroactive", and that's the crux of my mixed feelings about this album. It consists of their covers of 70's music that inspired them, and many of these covers are rather mediocre ones of rather mediocre 70's glam and pop-rockers - not bad, just nothing great. However, there are a number of great ones in here, too - particularly "Don't Believe A Word" (orig. by Thin Lizzy), "10538 Overture" (ELO), etc.. as well as some decent ones. Overall about a third pretty good, a third decent, and a third kind of boring.
Yeah! Poster
While most of their teen peers were embracing nascent '70s U.K. punk with all the snotty 'tude they could muster, Sheffield's Def Leppard instead infused then-moribund metal with bracing pop smarts. Having long since sold a gazillion or two records with that formula, the '80s superstars pay homage to the eclectic, chart-savvy tastes that spawned it on this collection of covers, recharging their contemporary fortunes a bit in the bargain. Their takes on Me Decade standards like The Faces' "Stay With Me," Badfinger's "No Matter What," and T Rex's "20th Century Boy" may be arguably too faithful, right down to Joe Elliot's often dead-on vocal chameleon routine. But elsewhere they perform some admirable pop archaeology, imparting a darker edge to David Essex's spooky "Rock On" and pumping Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone," one-hit-wonder John Kongos's riff-fest "He's Gonna Step On You Again," and Sweet's "Hell Raiser" full of patent Lep energy. --Jerry McCulleyOn their highly anticipated new album, Def Leppard have created a heartfelt and hard rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late 60's and 70's - the Kinks, Badfinger, T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Free, Faces, and Thin Lizzy. Recording essential versions of the music that influenced their youth, the band have brilliantly merged the 'Now with the 'Then' to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word: YEAH!
