Def Leppard - Adrenalize

Today I would like to review a hidden gem of an album from my youth Def Leppard's 1991 release "Adrenalize". This was the bands first album since the death of rhythm guitarist Steve Clark and the first with new rhythm guitarist Vivian Campbell. This album is know for its first single "Lets Get Rocked" a great track about not wanting to listen to your parents and just wanting to relax and party all weekend. The video for this track was also the first computer animated video in history. As far as ballads for this band go this album holds a tremendous ballad called "Have You Ever Needed Somebody So Bad" the perfect song for a broken heart. Other great tracks from this record are "Stand Up Kick Love Into Motion", "Make Love Like A Man" (not necessarily a great song but pretty funny to listen to), "White Lightning", "I Wanna Touch U" & "Tear It Up".
This is an album from my very first years of getting into music, my juniot high years and just an album that brings back alot of memories for me.

Album Quote:

"Oh, all I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Ev'ry time I want to love you I get stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I'm sick'n'tired of dancin' with this broom "
