Adrenalize

Product Information

Rolling Stone astutely described Adrenalize as “a seemingly unending string of energetic, hook-heavy songs about girls”, and after “Let’s Get Rocked” powered up to No. He co-wrote six of the songs and his guitar parts were played by Phil Collen as well as his own making this the only album the band recorded as a four piece.

Yet the Leps work these gimmicks in so gracefully that they never interrupt the music’s flow, acting not as unnecessary contrivances but simply as another level of hook.It's like with Pink Floyd: to me, Adrenalize was our Wish You Were Here and Hysteria was our Dark Side of the Moon. Released at the height of grunge, ‘Adrenalize,’ Def Leppard’s much-anticipated follow-up to ‘Hysteria,’ saw the group reclaim the rock mantle. Adrenalize is the fifth studio album by English rock band Def Leppard, released on 31 March 1992 through Mercury Records.

The album featured huge singles such as "Let’s Get Rocked" and "Make Love Like A Man" and debuted at No 1 in both the UK and USA (and went on to sell over 7 million copies). Fans would have been forgiven for worrying whether Def Leppard could survive Steve Clark’s loss, yet when Adrenalize was released, on March 31, 1992, they could breathe a collective sigh of relief.Instead, the band took matters in their own hands and produced the album themselves along with longtime engineer Mike Shipley; [7] with Lange credited as executive producer.
