Title: Leppard Light
Product review: Coming into this album Joe Elliot said that Def Leppard would be trying to take a cue from bands like Aerosmith. And while not similar in sound this influence is evident. Leppard has toned it down. X delievers less guitar solos and high pitch harmonies and gives the listener more pop songs. This could be a bad thing as we all crave flashbacks to the days of Pyromania and Hysteria, however Leppard does pop very well. Some of thier more pop track such as "You're So Beautiful" and "Everday" come together nicely and tracks like their lead single "Now", "Torn To Shreds" and "Scar" show shades of classic Leppard rock tracks. All in all a solid effort. The group's 10th studio album shows that they still can play with the best of them and this album surpasses most other recent offerings in the pop rock genre. Albums like X show that Leppard has the ability trescend their era and move into the ranks of other ageless wonders like Aerosmith and the Stones. A good buy.
