critic--and even some of us could hardly argue with the likes of "Photograph," "Animal," and "Bringin' on the Heartbreak." Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles from the multiplatinum Pyromania and Hysteria. It offers little meaning beyond fun fun fun, but there are hooks here that Noel Gallagher would punch a paparazzo for. --Rickey Wright

Advantages: Great Music Disadvantages: Don't hear them much anymore,not much airplay

I had left home when Def Leppard released Vault, and I again went out and brought this album and by this time I had a C.D player, so the sound was much better quality, It had a collection of all my favorite songs, and there was not one track I disliked, Joe Elliot and the boys have such a distinctive sound, and you can immediatly recognise their songs, Its just a shame you don't hear to much of them now. I still particually go for the songs such as, Pour some sugar on me, Rocket, Hysteria and my favorite Animal, though their newer realeases like when love and hate collide are also great to listen too, its a great shame that the radio stations don't play there records too much these days.
I have also just heard that Guy Ritchie and Madonna are rumored to be making a film about Def Leppard, so I wait in anticipation to see if this comes to light.
Advantages: Gets me in a party mood Disadvantages: none

Advantages: All the great songs on one disc. Disadvantages: None that i can think of!
Well recently DefLeppard were given a lifetime achievment award, which i know most people will agree, was well deserved. This was their first compilation album and for me it has all the classic tracks on. The tracks are timeless and even listening to them now, they have not aged at all. I was lucky enough to see them live in concert a few months ago and they blew me away. It is one of those albums you can listen to all the way through, and "Pour Some Sugar on Me" is the perfect first track. It is still regarded as one of their greatest anthems and regularlly features in polls of the best rock tunes of all time. Everyone has a different favourite and i would be hard pushed to choose just one but i know as an aspiring singer/songwriter i often put this on for inspiration. For all you thinking all their songs are as heavy as "Lets get ...
Def Leppard: Joe Elliott (vocals); Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Steve Clark, Pete Willis (guitar, background vocals); Rick Savage (bass, background vocals); Rick Allen (drums, background vocals). Additional personnel includes: Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Stevie Vann (background vocals). Producers: Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Mike Shipley, Def Leppard, Pete Woodroffe. Engineers: Nigel Green, Mike Shipley, Pete Woodroffe. Includes liner notes by Peter Mensch, Joe Elliott, Phil Collen and Rick Savage. When Def Leppard arrived on American shores with 1980's ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, they were lumped with a New Wave of British Heavy Metal that also counted Iron Maiden part of the movement. Yet even then, the Sheffield quintet's inescapable pop sense separated them from their heavier brethren. As the '80's progressed, Def Lep soldiered on through tragedy, lengthy multi-year stays in the studio and quite a few world tours. VAULT culls the hits from the millions of albums they sold by way of MTV ("Photograph"), soundtracks ("Two Steps Behind"), and obvious sexual innuendo ("Pour Some Sugar On Me"). Influenced by the glam postures of Mott The Hoople, Bowie, T. Rex and Slade, Def Lep transformed their love of these artists into a sound shaped by Joe Elliott's raspy vocals, the synergy fueled by Phil Collen (who replaced Pete Willis in '83) and the late Steve Clark's guitars, and Rick Allen's punchy backbeat (seemingly unaffected by his loss of an arm in '85). Heavy guitars, sweet hooks and a rare ability to balance a harder-edged side ("Foolin'") with earnest power ballads ("Bringin' On The Heartbreak") show why Def Lep continue to soldier on long after pop-metal's '80s heyday, and they make VAULT a safe worth cracking.
Album Reviews
Spin (12/95, p.85) - 6 - Reasonably Good - "...it might surprise you just how much care went into these seemingly disposable hits....There's something about the desperately American vocalisms of Joe Elliott (who is, after all, British) and the oddness of his lyrics...that pleasently suggests rock as a second language..." Entertainment Weekly (11/10/95, p.67) - "...the painstaking patience with which these hits were produced (mostly by Mutt Lange) pays off--with Byzantine layering of guitars, sumptous harmonies, and finely crafted pop hooks buried beneath the metal posturing." - Rating: B-
