Product Description
From Amazon.com
To have resisted Def Leppard's radio power in their heyday, you'd have to have been a 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

Format:Audio CD
A good intro to a very under-rated band who never quite got the chart success they deserved in the UK despite being massive in the US.
This represents the output from their three main albums ("Pyromania", "Hysteria" and "Adrenalize") and contains a variety of rock classics, heavy rock, soft rock and rock ballads.
For the collector and enthusiast, this "Limited Edition" version also contains a 2nd CD of 9 live tracks recorded at the Don Valley, Sheffield in 1993. All 9 tracks (with the exception of "Foolin") appear in their original format on the 1st CD so you also get a chance to hear how they sounded live!

Format:Audio CD
After the Retro Active release in 1993 with its basic attempt to showcase new member Vivian Campbell and to clear the decks of old material still lying around with some potential such as the slow, melodic ballad "two steps behind", the construction of the album "Slang" was weighing down the group's shoulders.So they thought that if they really wanted to start afresh,they should finally compile all the greatest tracks of the past six albums,then release "Slang" to begin a new era of the lep."Vault" was finally released in October of 1995 and the experimental album "Slang" was released in the spring of 1996.
"Vault" starts of with a prodigious burst of energy (supplied by the saccharin of course!!)with the anthemic and dynamic "Pour some sugar on me" from the masterclass album "Hysteria" which supplies most of the material in "Vault" to be frank! Then it continues on to the catchy and rythmic rock hit "Photograph" which is defined in a raw and powerful way, mostly thanks to one of the greatest producers ever Robert John "Mutt" Lange who stands out as the unofficial sixth member of Def Leppard. Such hits as "Animal","Rocket","Hysteria" will leave you musically aching and "When love and hate collide" is ,in my opinion, one of the best rock ballads ever. The understated guitar solo and the lyrics are sublime and will surely stand the test of time!
Even though this album is the pure article, the album is maybe just short of a classic song like "Foolin'" to keep complete interest but I'm sure people really don't mind and would rather listen to "Heaven is" instead!! The album is all about chart suceess and maybe a "Best Of" would have fitted the bill to compile the definitive material of Def Leppard.
This album still is a classic though and I am sure people will be hooked on this for the rest of their lives when ever they are in need of some SHEFFIELD STEEL!

Vault: Def Leppard - You wanna get rocked?...
A bit of a guilty pleasure this one. It's fashionable these days to deride that `80s/'90s cheesy soft stadium rock, and rightly so. Read more

A good compilation.......
A good compilation for the hits, but it doesn't get at the music between those hits, where Def Leppard was just a killer rock n' roll band. Read more

Love it
Love it, love it, love it! All the best of the old stuff - in my humble opinion. Somehow lost the original I had - glad to have replaced it.

Great band, bad compilation
Vault (1995.) Def Leppard's first hits compilation.
From their formation in the mid-late seventies to the modern day, Def Leppard has been one of the most consistent rock bands... Read more

You gotta be DEF to not like LEPPARD!
Not being the world's biggest Leppard fan, I picked this up at a car boot sale for £1, just to see what all the fuss was about. That was about a year ago. Read more

moments in time
The Vault album is always a joy to listen to if you're not a hardcore Def Leppard fan. I always felt though that they had so much more to offer with their hits album. Read more

Good, but not worthy of 5 stars
I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this album. Perhaps I was expecting a "best of" instead of a "greatest hits", but it only confirmed my view... Read more
