Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Probably Def Leppard's best album and certainly their most successful, Hysteria pretty much sums up 1980s hard rock: catchy, tuneful and fun. It's also one of the few albums from the period that doesn't sound dated now, and singles such as "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Armageddon It" and "Rocket" remain staples of rock radio. The rest of the album is equally entertaining; "Animal" and "Hysteria", while mid-tempo, have the same slick intensity, and "Love Bites" is one of the few pop-metal ballads that doesn't sound saccharine over a decade after its release. --Genevieve Williams

Album Description
On the 3rd August 1987 British rock band Def Leppard released the album "Hysteria". Already a major force in rock music, "Hysteria" catapulted the band into the stratosphere and became simply one of the biggest rock albums of all time.

The statistics for "Hysteria" are astounding. The album has sold in excess of 16 million copies and counting. Due to the incredible success of previous album "Pyromania" (released in 1983) and "Hysteria" Def Leppard are one of only five rock groups who can claim two separate original 10 million plus selling albums in the US. The others are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Van Halen. The "Hysteria" album featrues 7 enormous hit singles, including "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Animal", "Love Bites", "Armageddon It" and "Rocket" which have become rock staples that still enjoy huge popularity today and have helped make Def Leppard Britain's greatest ever arena rock band. The album remains Def Leppard's best loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Hysterical about Hysteria, 9 Feb 2003
By J. Maher (Rochdale , Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
Def Leppard's finest work and one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I have had the album since it's release in 1987 and I still play it and never grow tired of it. It's to Def Leppard's credit that they made this album.
It's an album that nearly was never made Rick Allen the drummer lost an arm in a car accident after the success of Pyromania, disagrements with producers, scrapping songs plus other mishaps but when all seem lost enter their white knight Robert John "Mutt" Lange who helped put the band's confidence back together, contributed to the songwriting and produced what can be best described as the most polished clinically clear rock album that has ever been made.

The songs are just wonderfully catchy from the opening bars of Women to the heart churning Love and Affection. This album produced 6 hit singles in the UK now that is highly unusual from a Rock album and 7 hit singles in the band's spiritual home the USA even though they orginally from Shefield UK.

The album hit no1 on both sides of the Atlantic. So many classic tunes on the album you will be listening to them for years. The clever sexual inuendo lyrics of Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Armageddon It! But the best track and probably the greatest song they've writtten is the clever 'Gods Of War' a damming indicment back in the late 80's of Reagan and Thatcher's lust for conflict with Libiya.
Now the song's clever lyrics and addition of Reagan and Thatcher's voices add gravitas to the track. Now you could quite easily substitute both for Dubya and Blair Iraq for Libiya.
Just lie back close your eyes and enjoy this superb piece of Rock masterclass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly Def Leppard's best album., 28 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
Possibly Def Leppard's best album,'Hysteria' contains 7 UK/US hit singles.
This album is like 'Star Wars' for the ears with it's crisp clear lead guitars,crunchy riffs,electronic drums and it's multi-layered backing vocals.
A perfect introduction to Def Leppard.
Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album you will never grow tired of, 27 Mar 2002
By M. D. Rathbone (Runcorn, Cheshire - UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Hysteria (Audio CD)
Forget Thriller, Bat out of Hell, Sgt Pepper, Brothers in Arms, The Wall, etc, etc - THIS IS THE GREATEST EVER ALBUM!

It's got everything.. catchy hit singles ("Animal", "Rocket", "Pour Some Sugar on Me") rock anthems ("Gods of War", "Hysteria") pure fun and enjoyment ("Women", "Armageddon it") and even a love song! ("Love Bites")

Never mind the fact that this is a great intro to Def Lep, this is a great intro to music! So spoil yourself because once you've played this no other album will ever come close as far as lyrics, harmonies, musical ability, layered production or sheer quality go!!!!
