Album Notes & Community Reviews

Def Leppard's massive commercial breakthrough masterfully polishes the grit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal into sleek, highly melodic stadium rock. Produced by 'Mutt' Lange, 'Pyromania' pioneers a futuristic, heavily layered studio approach, resulting in undeniably energetic, anthemic singalongs that permanently altered the trajectory of 80s hard rock.
