Songs from the Sparkle Lounge

Ah, DEF LEPPARD, the veteran rockers who refuse to let their hairspray go out of fashion. Songs From The Sparkle Lounge is their tenth studio album, and it's just as delightfully cheesy as we've come to expect from these guys. From the opening track "Go," with its infectious hooks and arena-rock energy, to the closer "Love," a power ballad that could make even the most stoic listener shed a tear, DEF LEPPARD prove that they still know how to write a damn good song. But it's not all hairspray and power chords on this album. Tracks like "C'mon C'mon" and "Only the Good Die Young" show a more introspective side to the band, with thoughtful lyrics and melodic guitar riffs that will have you singing along in no time. Sure, some may dismiss DEF LEPPARD as a relic of the '80s, a band whose glory days are long behind them. But Songs From The Sparkle Lounge proves that these guys still have plenty of spark left in them. So grab your leather jacket, tease up your hair, and crank up the volume on this one - you won't regret it.
