This is lo-fat, calorie-reduced Def Leppard Lite. Rock rock til you drop? Not on this record. Some tracks go too far to be slick radio hits. "Gravity" has sounds that belong on a Garbage record. "Girl Like You" is another shamelessly commercial track. And then there are the ballads-"X" does have its Z's. At this rate, Def Leppard are hurdling towards Bryan Adams/"Cloud Number Nine" territory at alarming velocity. My favorite track is "Four Letter Word"- as vintage Def Lep as you'll find on "X".

I AGREE TO A DEGREE WITH U KOOGLES. IT IS LOW IMPACT DEF THIS DAYS , BUT I HAVE TO SAY FOR ME IT WAS A GOOD CHANGE OF PACE.

A really great album. If you open your mind and not expect a duplicate of an alubm they have already done you will be pleased. The leps tried to do the same album twice when they did adrenalized and the staying power of that cd wasn't strong, being called a poor attempt to do another Hysteria. Back to this album. the first 2 songs are the weakest. Torn to Shreds is a great song. It is too hard to express my opinion on only 500 characters but i will say that it may be softer but it is great.

Well, I gotta say, I expected a LOT more after reading the MelodicRock.com review of "X." After he gave it a 90%, I thought this was gonna blow my socks off, but I hate to say that Def Leppard have gotten WAY TOO current sounding. It doesn't sound like a "maturing" Leppard to me, it sounds like a Leppard that is either sick of their 80's tag or maybe trying to break through to 13 year old girls again. With the promotion, it ain't gonna happen (to get a younger crowd)why not appeal to real fans?

It's a good album but, as has been said, it is NOT a rock Def Leppard album. But here's the thing....Leppard are a different animal these days. The days of High N Dry and Payromania are gone. In my opinion when the band have tried to force the rock sound (Adrenalize/Euphoria) then the albums just weren't good enough. It IS noticable on X that Rick Allen's drums are waaaaayyyyy back in the mix, and that Phil is under wraps for most of it, but the songs are still good.

First listen - 'what the hell is this' - many listens - just incredible. This is a new mature Leppard sound - we can't expect them to bolt out rockers like they 20 years ago - but we can expect them to change with maturity. This album is super - I have been a fan since the get go and I have listened to the change as the change in myself. The sound the music and atmosphere on this record takes time - but once you wait - it will blow your mind. Great job Leppards - for those who want the sound of

First I read all the reviews here on Heavyharmonies. Then I downloaded the tracks og Grokster. Then I said to myself, DAMN this sucks. What a load of overproduced crap. Then I went to my local cd store. Heard it loud over the speakers. THEN I bought it. Its a damn good cd I think. usually its way too soft for my ears, but still I really like this. Am I getting old, soft or WHAT.!! I dont know, but I really like this. Love the Primal Fear cd I also bought.

We have a hundred-plus votes on the H.H. rating system for 'X', and it's past 9.0--?!!? Since when have all of you become NSync and Backstreet Boys fans?! Hey, I'm not saying I don't ever listen to this cd, but I have owned 'X' for just over a week now, and Def Leppard's latest does not enthrall me whatsoever. 'Euphoria' was no masterpiece, but with that, I saw DL actually GOING somewhere. Now, what's up with this? Outside writers, 3 seperate producers, boy-band songs, under-used guitars----

----drum looping, etc., etc.!! All of this equals to a very disappointing first outing into the new millennium by one of the (former) best rock 'n' roll bands in history (to say the least). I felt violated enough by 'Slang' with Leppard's poser approach on alternative and grunge sounds and noises, but 'X' is sort of a slap in the face to all longtime DL fans. Yeah, there are some good songs, and the melodies are fine, but where the hell are Phil and Vivian? Once again, we are sodomised by DL.

Coincidence? I think not. Perhaps it's the glorious moment where fans of this release are compared to fans of "Backstreet Boys", "N*Sync". The "Boy-band songs" reference is yet another way to alienate just about everyone who thought the release was even moderately okay. Then top it off with your insulting pseudo-intellectual rebuttals to those who take offense. Gee, it is surprising that you would take such a beating here.

Don't get me wrong, you have the right to your opinion (as you obviously know), and you make very good points. But by saying (not just for this release but others on the site as well) that anyone who would like (insert band name/album title here" is wrong for liking it, or somehow of defective mental status, will get you exactly what you're getting. BTW I personally do not like anything Def Leppard's put out since Pyromania, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just not for me.

THIS, LIKE EUPHORIA WERE TWO CRITICAL RECORDS FOR THE BAND & THEY HAVE ALIENATED THEIR "CORE AUDIENCE" TO PANDER TO WHAT'S HIP. WHILE, GROWTH ISN'T A BAD THING, WHEN YOU WERE AN INNOVATOR & THEN JUST BECOME ONE OF THE PACK? THAT'S A SHAME. LIKE A PREVIOUS COMMENT. WHERE'S VIV & PHIL?!

Before X came out I was expecting either a Euphoria II or a Slang II. Heard the album the 1st time and found it to be a mix of both. But don't take that comparison as a bad thing. After a few listens I really like it. I hated Slang and liked Euphoria. Could this be what they wanted Slang to sound like? And they did make another attempt at "Photograph" for those who think they need to go back to their "roots" (play Everyday, then play Promises, then Photograph). Just give X a few spins...

This cd is in the vein of bands like Backstreet Boys, Human Nature and bands like that with a slight guitar edge to it. These guys have really moved on. 5/10 not a bad album with some pretty good song writing. For the fans of the lighter side of life.

We all have our opinions. I was not provoking a verbal attack with the NSync/Backstreet Boys references, rather, I was verbally assaulted. We all have our opinions and I am not suggesting to you what to believe. You can think for yourselves, but my opinion on 'X' still stands. 'Slang' lacked the melodies, whereareas, 'X' thrives on them, but ignores the "rock" aspect a too much for its own good. j., thanks for sticking up for me, bro.

dokken6008, I read through all your comments on the entire Lep's catalogue and, in the most part, I agree with you.My own personal fave is HND and I think they peaked with Hysteria...it's been gradually downhill since then with the notable exceptions of Slang and X. I'm curious as to what you find so lacking with Slang? I think the songs (mostly) were excellent...can you elaborate a little? I am truly interested. My view on X is that it is "Slang" remade with an upbeat attitude.

Steve T-- Thank you for taking an interest in my writings, for one. As for the 'Slang' deal? (sighs) Here is the best way I can put it: 'Hystera'. 'Adrenalize'. My 2 favorite DL releases. Melodies, hard rockin', guitar solos, clever interludes and musical breakdowns, fun rockin' songs with a flavor all their own-- I could go on and on and on. 'Slang' goes against all the reasons why I fell in love with Def Leppard's music in the 1st place. You might see the contrast between 'Slang' & 'Hysteria'.

From: dokken6008 |
Date: August 12, 2002 at 6:46 |
Still, 'Euphoria' was moving back into more "familar" classic DL ground with songs like "Demolition Man", "Paper Sun", "PROMISES", "Guilty", and "Day After Day". The ballads were still far too sappy to amount to their earlier ones, though. 'Euphoria' was not a classic by any means, but with that cd, I really had hope that Leppard, being one of my favorite bands, were moving into a less contemporary direction. 'X' disappointed me greatly after listening to it all the way through several times.

But when it all comes down, listen to WHATEVER you want. If you like it, listen to it. Again, we all have our opinions, and most of us already have our minds made up as to what we like, or what we WANT to listen to or do. Strangely, I seem to be one of the few "whackos" out there who prefers 'Adrenalize' ten times over 'Pyromania', but hey, that's just me.

This is Def Lep in the here & "Now" and while the CD may not be "Unbelievable," it's a pretty good dose of melodic rock. I don't listen to it "Everyday" and the band has a "Long Way to Go" before they're back to Hysteria or Adrenalize quality, but there's no reason to call X a piece of crap or any other "Four Letter Word." This CD doesn't deserve to be "Torn to Shreds" nor does it give fans anything to "Cry" about. Call this a "Scar" on Def Lep's legacy if you want, but for me, X hits the spot.

Well I listen to this one( I work in a music store) but I didnt look forward to it after the two bad relases (SLANG horrible and then EUPHORIA) and with this one it surely closes my chapter with Leppard. Pyro/Hys and Adrenalize is the greatest memory I have of a band that was once a great rock band but now is only making boring-old fashioned radio friendly music with no balls at all. But then again, how could Ive been mistaken when you look at the image the last couple of years.....DEAD LEPPARD.

The only reason it was the #10 selling album the week it came out was because of you guys buying it. After that it dropped like a rock in water. You want the truth?.................... Commercially, no one is talking about this album.

WidoMakr said it. Def Leppard are like whores: They'll sell their asses out to anyone who's got the most money. In this case, DL thought that by going pop, that's where the money is, so why not hire the NSync producers and get a few hit singles? Ultimately, DL's decision further devalues the band's credibility. Nobody on the radio GIVES a shit about 'X'? "'Now'? Huh, what the hell?" At least "Promises" & "Paper Sun" GOT radio play, because the band was rocking, not fucking around.

Actually, "Now" is steadily moving up the Rock Radio charts as we speak (or type). Last I checked it was at #11. So it's obviously being played. Am I hearing it where I live? No. But I don't listen to the radio either.

This was a great band, but today ? No, the heydays of Leppard are over. Dear guys, give the new acts as Mecca, Harlan Cage, 101 South etc. a chance and forget about Leppard. What they have to offer is not half as good as the above mentioned new AOR, melodic acts !!!! But if I see how much reaction there is about Leppard and not about the other (far better !!) bands it makes me a bit sad ! Be open minded, and listen to what is really good, and this is not the new Leppard. A pity !

Despite the many criticisms,this is a good album and proves Leppard is still a force to reckon with.It is probably better than Euphoria,and much much better than Slang.I agree that Rick's drums are low in the mix. However, it is a quality record. Now and Cry show that modern rock production can be combined with Lepp's melodic songwriting to great effect. My only real gripe would be that the song Unbelievable sounds WAY

I have to agree with Dok 6008 again. Euphoria was not a great cd, but there were some good hard rock numbers( DEmolition men and Back in your face). X drown between slow songs, mid tempos and pop songs. This all sound boring to me. Where is the electricity? I can't accept a release like this from the Leps. I have duplicated this cd from a friend of mine. If the Leps don't get back to the sound of Pyro,Histeria or at least Adrenalize I will no more buy their original cds.

1983 through 1992 WAS Def Leppard's peak. It was a long wait between albums, yeah. Allen lost his left arm before recording 'Hysteria' & 'Adrenalize' was completed after Steve had died. It seems to me that DL have lost a little bit too much of Clarke's influence, if you ask me. Each DL band member should be wearing a bracelet with the letters "W-W-S-D", because it seems that these guys have forgotten how to rock without him. Oh, and Federico is the man. That dude knows what he is talking about.

dokken6008, I'm glad we can finally discuss this like the mature adults we (think?) we are I can give two little words as to why Def Leppard are no longer selling the units they used to or, for that matter, writing good tunes (opinions) MUTT LANGE. The guy is a miracle worker and he would thrash the lads back into a radio friendly unit shifet ion no time. It would seem that the band are no longer going to work with him which is unfortunate. (cont).....
|
From: Steve T |
Date: August 30, 2002 at 7:56 |
(cont)..It is not coincidental that on Pyro and Hysteria he got co-writing credits on most, if not all, of the songs. Mutt knows a damn good tune when he hears it and my guess is that had Mutt not been involved with Leppard then they would not have gone into orbit when they did. Mutt has.had the midas touch when it comes to hard rock. It's Mutt more than anything (except Steve) that the band misses now.

From: TYTAN3K |
Date: September 2, 2002 at 4:07 |
Yeah...but who's Mutt working with now? Country and Pop artists (actually penning a Britny song). Mutt has moved on too...away from rock. I don't think Mutt's involvement would have had too much of an impact, really. He wrote 3 songs on Euphoria...one which was brill, one which was pretty boring and sounds like it could have been on "X" and one that was utter shit. (All Night, anyone...puhleeze!!)One great song out of three doesn't seem so amazing to me.
|
From: Steve T |
Date: September 2, 2002 at 7:44 |
Tytan.....point taken BUT Mutt wasn't totally involved like he was with Pyro and Hysteria and it wouldn't surprise me if the 3 songs he co-wrote were left overs from other sessions. Also the albums he has been involved with since, which include Bryan Adams, have all been HUGE sellers. Country, pop or rock his work always shifts massive units. I really do think that, if he'd still been onboard full time, Leppard would still be chart toppers the world over.

Yes, X is a great disappointment. No, it's not terrible. Just way too soft. There are a couple of great songs hidden amongst all the bland pop though. I thought Euphoria fell a little bit short of the mark, but this comes nowhere close. Where is Paper Sun? For that matter, where is Vivian?

This really ends my time with the leps. The only song that MIGHT do some classic touch is the opener but otherwise this band should really call it a day.they have lost everything that was magic and true LEPPARD. So bloody boring and radio friendly, I call it DEAD LEPPARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the last great album they did was ADRENALIZE....

Well, I can only assume that that is a good thing. I think that we all have stated our thoughts on this record by now. The truth is, no matter how I look at it, 'X' was a complete and utter disappointment. I had high hopes for Def Leppard. I have high hopes for them no more. Def Leppard can suck my

I don't know what to say,it's good album but not great,I feel like Def Leppard has the ability to create a record that could possibly match the success of the Pyro/Hys/Adren/years, but the thing is I don't think they are going to do it. I hate the fact these guys don't get enough promotion anymore, hell they deserve it, they are legends,but I guess if a band doesn't have that alternative/rap crap sound they get shafted as old or not with the times..Newsflash not everyone likes RAP/Hip Hop B.S.

I must say that I have to agree with some of you. Obviously, this is NOT the Def Leppard of 1983, but that doesn't mean that they suck. I think that too many of us are stuck in the 80's. Being a guitar player, obviously, I am drawn to more guitar oriented music and this cd has a few really good guitar oriented songs. Overall, I think it is a really good cd. The songs are written well and it is musically sound. Sure, their not the group they were, but then again, WHO IS? Everyone matures, right?

They have told the band that they are not prepared to promote the new single at all........ That's a good idea!

Definitely not as rocky as other Lep albums, but still the best band in the world by far delivered a great album, IMO the best since Hysteria (not counting Retroactive). Every element of Lep is there, except the hard rockin'. "Everyday", "Now", "Girl Like You", "Scar", "Long Long Way To Go", "Four Letter Word", "Torn To Shreds", "Love Don't Lie" -all GREAT tracks. Like many of you, I still hope for a return to their harder rock roots, but I can still appreciate this as a slice of great AOR.

As I see it, the 80's rock era is hard to replicate - there's just us die-hard fans that crave its return. And we as loyal fans, are responsible for keeping that alive - not the bands. They come and go. Retire into obscurity. (So do fans!) And for those that dare to try - attempting a comeback is hard enough when the climate is VERY different and ever-changing. So, well-done the all-new DefLep. They will get their new fan base - even if their old one deserts them. I won't be doing that!!

For anyone who thinks that Def Leppard is done or that X is a washed up version of Def Leppard got a big suprise for you. X is the #17 selling cd of the year, they have the 24th highest grossing tour this year, and lastly name another band with 20+ years experience who was at Rolling Rock Town Fair IV. So if that's washed up I think most bands would love to be washed up.

Oh dear, what do we have here? Def Leppard try to do a sound shift like they did for "Slang", but as where they sound re-energized and fresh on that album, they sound tired and worn out here. The songs are way to light and they sound to desperate to become like a new Goo Goo Dolls or Matchbox 20. Still, some tracks are pretty good such as "Everyday", "Long Long Way To Go", and "Four Letter Word". The only track truly terrible, is the boy band ripoff "Unbelievable. 6/10

Big Papa K - you said it all my friend! Def Leppard watered their sound down so band that they are almost drowning on this album. My first reaction was: THIS WAS THE BAND THAT OPENED FOR OZZY, PRIEST AND AC/DC? I COULD HAVE SWORN THERE WAS A ROCK BAND IN THERE SOMEWHERE! I am all for bands evolving and become better and more mature musicians - but this does not qualify. There are a few appealing moments on 'X' but it is way too lightweight to be a good Def Leppard record.

From: TIM (2) |
Date: June 30, 2004 at 8:38 |
I've always quite liked this. I don't really care if they tone down the guitars, as long as they stick to the trademark sound. Most of the first 7 tracks or so do this, but afterwards it all gets a bit iffy. My Jap version has an extra acoustic version of "Long Way To Go" which is excellent, as is "Unbelievable" and "Four Letter Word". Apart from the last 4 or 5 tracks, this is better than most of the above comments would suggest.

From: Rocker76 |
Date: June 30, 2004 at 12:21 |
I wish I could share Tim's enthusiasm for 'X.' And it pains me to say that because I consider Def Lep to be a classic band from the 80s metal scene. But I just cannot get into it at all. There are almost no characteristics at all from previous albums. The polish is certainly there - just no more power. But I'm grateful that they are still around to create new music. I just wish it had more of that hard rock edge that they apparently lost to Mutt Lange in a bet after the Hysteria tour.

After reading an interview that Vivian Campbell did on the Def Leppard Website a few months ago and after hearing a few tracks from his side band Clock, I can tell where the modern influences are coming from on this CD. In the interview, Vivian states that he doesn't like playing hard rock in the slightest and basically sounds very bitter at the rock world. All I can say is that if he doesn't like rock music, get the hell out of the band and don't drag them down!

Why do people insist on another Hysteria or Pyromania. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN PEOPLES!!!! Def Lep are older and more mature, and this album shows it.

Have been playing through all my Lepp's discs. For me, this is still one of their best releases. Ok as people have said, it ain't 'Pyromania' or 'Hysteria' (classics both of them), but this is still a very strong album, with some great tracks onboard. 'Long Long Way To Go' should have been a huge record, as it is one of the best ballads the band has ever done. I Certainly wouldn't call this NU Modern rock or whatever people need to class this as, just a fresh, tight sounding MELODIC rock album.

One of my fave Def lep releases, and a great modern melodic rock disc. The first 5 tracks are all excellent - some awesome musical peices, great vocals and massive hooks. Just sensational. 'Torn to Shreds' is my highlight and one of my top 3 Def Lep tracks - what a song!!! 'Girl Like You' is cool and 'Let Me Be the One' is a lovely ballad. Definately a fewweak tracks here, but some are just sensational and if you listen to it for what it is... well, it's excellent... IMO.

Does it sit well, but it tastes pretty damn good, if you just slow down and savor the flavor. OK it's different, but the hooks are massive and songs are just infrctious as hell first listen! My only real complaint is that the band felt the need to go outside themselves for song writing help. Maybe that is part of the refereshing change in sound. Whatever it is, it's worth a listen. It's just not the Leppard you grew up with by any means.

The problem is, too many downtempo and ballads here, they should inject more uptempo rockin' tracks to balance this album, but overall it's good. Highlights are "Now", "Long Long Way To Go", "Four Letter Words", and "Torn To Shreds"

Another great Leppard Cd. Again I can't understand the negative comments. The ballads, as usual are exceptional. The rockers are good but you need to live with them to get the most out of them and they definitely sound better live. Yes I miss the 'balls-out' rock songs, but they'll come again. If you don't like anything Leppard have done since Hysteria, this wont change your mind. If your prepared to listen to it with an open mind it's another excellent CD.

I still haven't listened from beginning to end. Terrible! Unless you like backstreet boys of Nsync.

In my opinion, this album is a sort of Bryan Adams-"Crush"-onwards Bon Jovi crossover, with, as it was said above, many mid-tempo and ballads. Although, some tracks still have the old Lep feeling, like "You´re So Beautiful", "Four Letter Words" (the best track) and "Scar". Overall, not so horrible, but could have been better.

Def Leppard being poppy and modern in sound...well they have been doing this since "Hysteria"...this one offers some nice ones such as "Unbelievable","Everyday","Torn To Shreds" & "Let Me Be The One" plus some goodies here and there like the very "modern" opener "Now",the AORish "You're So Beautiful","Love Don't Lie","Scar" & the bonus track "Kiss The Day"...if you like The Calling or Matchbox 20 kinda stuff then this release is for you!!!.88/100

This album is....okay in my opinion...maybe. Def Leppard did the same thing that Heart did, took their huge success and multi-platinum albums and took away a lot of the power behind their newer music...in my opinion. I'm not stuck on the 80's Def Leppard tunes...I just get sent back to those albums/songs every time they release something sub-standard. Oh well, they didn't make the album for just me to listen to...good luck Def Leppard 4/10
