It's a good track...I had to replace the video already in case anyone wanted to hear it and were not able to

Adrenalize is a pretty underrated album and frankly I think it is better than Hysteria.

Interesting take. I got to know of Def Leppard through Adrenalize in 1992 and loved that album for years and years! It's funny, I remember clearly my naive 14 year old rocker self thinking that it was the greatest rock album ever made. lol. I had not listened to Hysteria or Pyromania yet.

Several years later, though I don't think it's the best Def Leppard album (let alone greatest album ever made!) I do have a soft corner for it. Songs like Let's Get Rocked, White Lightning, Tonight, Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad, Tear It Down, Stand Up Kick Love Into Motion etc. are all nostalgic favourites and the first Def Leppard songs that I ever heard.

Pyromania is a great album. It was a much harder and somewhat less polished album which for me makes it much better than Hysteria.

Was listening to the first few songs of 1999's Euphoria album this morning. It's not a bad collection of tunes. Sure, it has a few clunkers... 'All Night' in particular, but in general it's quite an explosive comeback to the sound of the 80s. The clap-happy Back In Your Face especially is such fun to listen to!

New album is their best imo since Pyromania. Definitely a solid rocker.

Still early days, but I don't think it's better than "Hysteria" and I'm not sure it's better than "Adrenalize" either, but it's definitely their best album for years and I reckon' it could land quite high on my list of favourite albums this year.

Its way better than Hysteria to me. That album is their most overrated and I hold firm on that. Just my opinion though of course so I respect if others disagree.
