Def Leppard / Adrenalize (1992)

After their huge "Hysteria" album, the Leps released "Adrenalize", an album full of catchy and memorable choruses, a big polished production, and the unique big guitar sound.

I have to say that "Adrenalize" was the natural child of "Hysteria" in a more commercial way. An album which is more similar to the U.S. releases of that time and far away from their N.W.O.B.H.M. sound of their first two efforts. Cheesier and crunchier lyrics with a party feeling all over the album and some MTV video hits made this album a great success. "Let's Get Rocked" has a catchy and memorable chorus and was the band's biggest hit from "Adrenalize". "Make Love Like A Man" is a cheesier one with a hair metal attitude and "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" was the new "Hysteria"!! "Adrenalize" is one of these albums that every single track is a killer, no filler here just pure melodic hard rock in your face from an amazing band!

Overall this is a great release!!!
