| This band is totally devote to Def leppard's sound. Mtm label seems to have a particular taste for artists that sound like that (B.Mcdonald and M.Morales for example). This album is not bad, It lacks a little of originality, but this is no problem for us. Sometimes the singer tends to repete the title of the song too many times. Tell me why is repeted about 20 times. However Jess really sing like Joe Elliot. My favs are the title track and Dangerous immagination. If you like Leppard check this o

| Have to agree with some of Federico's points. Good album, production sounds a ton better than the otherwise-solid S/T debut. A little overuse of the vocal effects sometimes, as well. Jess sounds like Joe Elliot, but I thought on the first album he sounded a bit like D2's Ted Poley. Check them out if you like melodic hard rock the way it once was.

| A legitimate contender for melodic hard rock album of the year. This band's self-titled debut was very good, but lacked that over-the-top punch that a big-budget studio production can deliver, but that has been remedied for "Disc-Connected," which sounds like a million bucks and finds the band mixing their hook-laden sound with some obvious Def Leppard influences, mainly in the layered harmony vocals. Bottom line, this disc should connect with anyone who loves great melodic hard rock.

| Wow! Buckle up for the ride of your life! This is a massive dose of Def Leppard-style hard rock with lots of neat studio tricks along the way! I can't stop listening to this. Anyone who liked Michael Morales' "That's the Way" will be blown to bits after they hear this monster of an album! Easily the best release of the first half of 2002.

| Not a bad album, but it's just like fuckin' Fiore: total pop AOR with ridiculous instrumental... But it has a few good songs like Tell Me Why.

| Oh my God, this is this hottest band I have ever seen. I saw them live in L.A. and these guys ROCK! They are a lot heavier live than on the CD and all the guys are soooooooo hot. Me and all my girlfriends have a new favorite band...Loud & Clear!

| The most brilliantly entertaining record of the year. I hate records where you can't tell one song from the other or bands that can't sing. Every song on this great sounding CD moves you in a different way. "Time To Let Go", "Tell Me Why", "Fly Away" and "When I Feel Like That" should all be no.1 on the charts for the world to hear. In the dictionary under "greatest bands in the world" should be a picture of these guys.

| Where have these guys been? We just listened to "You Gotta Dance" about 100 times at our Sorority's pajama party. It's our new theme song! Where's the video?

| Very good CD indeed, but not the best of the first half of 2002, mr.koogles. It's not in the same league of Mecca, Harlan Cage or 101 South ! But, I recommend this CD to everyone, no mistake about that !!!!!

| Freddy: I'm sorry but Mecca was wafer thin. (And VERY over-rated I might add.) This is STILL my top AOR CD of 2002 and, for me, has got 3 plays for every one play of Def Leppard's "X".

| damn!i havent got this album yet but i just wanted to point out,the solo album by lead singer jess harnell called "the sound of your voice" is excellent although i think its a bit hard to find as it was released by the man himself.anyway if you see it grab it! you wont be dissapointed believe me.

| Fuck me runnin' I can't stop listening to this, it's too addictive. Not my usual cup o' tea but hey, a man cannot live on hard rock alone. "When I Feel Like That", "Disc-connected" and "Aint Talkin' Bout Nothin'" are the standouts for me. Plenty of tasteful guitar on here with the keys as a nice aside rather than the main ingredient.

| I'd heard that this band sounded like Def Leppard with some D2 thrown in for good measure,but I have to throw one more band into the mix......there is definetley some Enuff Z'Nuff in here too with Jess sounding like a dead ringer for Donnie Vie on some tracks. This of course makes it even better for me! Great album,I love it & I've only heard it once (so far)!

| Estan SUPER! La canción Disc-Connected es muy guapa. Pasón y temas super comerciales, originales y de fácil escucha. Una banda muy senzilla y con muy buen gusto comercial.

| A good effort though, and for those who enjoyed Scarem's 'Weight Of The World', you'll get a lot out of this release for sure. Title track 'Disc Connected' has a stomping Von Groove affliction running through it. 'When I Feel Like That' has that same modern edge heard on the recent Harem Scarem album, though Jess' vocals have a Joe Elliot rasp to it. On 'Time To Let Go', it's a visit back to debut album Harem Scarem. The remainder of the tracks are a meld of Leppard and Scarem styles.

| This is a MUST HAVE, a cross between Def Leppard and Harem Scarem. This CD keeps my interest from track 1 through to 13. Perfectly produced and executed both the music and vocals carry a lot of emotion, this CD moves me. I love all the songs particularly Fly Away. Turn it up, play it loud, drink some beer lie back, enjoy and sing along.

| A good solid release that satisfies most people missing that 'classic' Leppard sound. Of course it's nowhere near the best Leppard moments, the production is still only average and the vocals are very restrained, but for the low price this is fetching you should snap up a bargain. "I Can't Wait" is the most commercially appealing track, but the consistency is generally good. Decent album. 7.5/10.

| Stunning release that still excites me today. Top class melodic hard rock from start to finish.'Tell Me Why' is melodic perfection,'Ain't Talkin Bout Nothin' and 'Fly Away' are killer too,'Disc-Connected' is an awesome title track, 'When I Feel Like That' is great,'Time to Let Go' is my fave and a melodic gem,'Dangerous Imagination' is killer,'Lovers in the Night' and 'I can't wait' is perfect again and tracks 9-13 are all awesome too. Not a single filler! Amazing CD! 9.5/10

| What more can I add to the above other than saying its essential for lovers of Def Leppard, Nelson and Harem Scarem. Classic AOR with a bit of modern power pop influence. Time to let go is an all-time classic- MASSIVE chorus.

| I have both incredible cd's from these guys, both great discs..only have one question. Don't u think the song"Fly away" would feel right at home on a backstreet boys cd??:

| Bueno, mas que Def Leppard yo encuentro harta similitud a los Harem Scarem de ahora. Este disco no baja ni un ápice en los 13 temas aunque mas me van los 3 primeros tracks. A la producción le falta y los coros son de lo mejor del disco, melodías pegajosas, no hay muchos solos por contra. Concuerdo mas en lo que Rycheage dice. Buen disco. 8.5/10

| Good Melodic Rock, con algunos toques de AOR el anterior es mucho mejor en estilo y canciones este tambien esta en algodon pero la produccion debio ser mejor y eso que ahora estan con MTM y el estilo es como dicen los Good Boys arriba similar a los Harem Scarem actuales lo que no me dice mucho porque me empalaga esa onda muy adolescente pero en fin es buen disco 8.5/10

| Sounded good from all the reviews, but I am not that impressed. Very average chugging guitar/ power chord type rock with not much feeling. Vocals are ok, but everything just seems bland to me. Nothing for me to get excited about. I have to have something really good for me to keep it. Work Of Art, for example. Now, THAT is a masterpiece!! This....eh, not so much.

| Nothing 2 do with the band's kicking a** debut of 1997...this one is more into the modern rock thing with some exceptions(actually THE ONLY EXCEPTION)such as track #6 "Time To Let Go" wich is by far the best in here mainly because it conserves the band's real music genre...then some other goodie ones are "Tell Me Why"(nice poppy modern rock),"When I Feel Like That"(Def Leppard-ish,especially on the chorus line),"If It Takes All Night"(nice & catchy)& "Take Another Look"(catchy)...80/100

| If this record is "modern" then so is Hyseria by Def Leppard, because that is the most obvious influence on this album.

| very good release for LOUD &CLEAR ,but nearly as good as their mosterous debut!the band seems to updating its sound with elements of bands like HAREM SCAREM or later DEF LEPPARD ,but the ability of writing down excellent songs is obvious! there are no more big guitars&solos not my fav approach of hard rock ,but def a remarkable release that will satisfy everybody!
