OK so they redeemed themselves to me…
Being the dutiful Def Leppard fanatic that I am, I rushed right out to get their new CD. I have to say that I love it. I haven’t always loved their more recent CDs as much as I did the ones from the 80s-90s. I absolutely love “Nine Lives”. I have to admit, that when I saw that Tim McGraw was featured in that song I thought they went the way of Bon Jovi and decided to put a Country vibe. I was pleasantly surprised to find that quite the opposite, it was Mr. McGraw who is getting his rock on. (I am hoping that last sentence doesn’t sound naughty.)
Joe Elliott’s voice sounds just as sexy as it did when I was younger. ::purrs::
I honestly feel that several of these songs could easily find a place on Hysteria or Euphoria. I wouldn’t go so far as to say Pyromania, that album was near perfection.
I can forgive them the debacle that was Dancing with the Stars, they delivered music I’m happily listening to over and over again.

So glad they’ve redeemed themselves to you. *grin*

My musical tastes have changed a lot since Def Leppard was popular. I’m not sure if I’d like a new one by them or not. Maybe I’ll download it and try it out.

I haven’t heard any of their new stuff. I do know they’ve changed quite a bit though. I guess I’ll have to check out their new album.

Wow! I haven’t listened to them in ages! I’m so getting the new album now! Thanks for reminding me!

I just wish they had performed live on DWTS.
