Dismissed by critics, seemingly dogged by bad luck, with drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in a car accident, HYSTERIA had to be an album to turn heads. In retrospect, it sounded like the first true hard rock record for the CD generation. Ambitious arrangements and remixes on songs such as "Rocket" and "Armaggedon It," a crisp single in "Animal," and a dense paean to love with "Love Bites," all bets were off. Def Leppard had created an intriguing language of ideas that still speaks volumes more than a decade on.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- Vocals are stacked on top of each other until they scrape the ionosphere; guitars are primped within an inch of their lives....Hugely influential...

4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he original singles still have the same sugar rush...

I listen to the first 6 songs over and over, where as the other 6 songs just off and on. But this release had a lot of the BIG HITS on. Pour some surgar on me one of the best.

Also, most people don't relize that in the middle of recording this song, their Drummer lost his arm and had to learn how to drum all over again. They had to jump a hurdle and did so. And now he is one of the best drummers with a different style.

Def Lep's Best

Created: 02/12/08
This is probably Def Leppard's best cd ever. This contains hits like Animal, Rocket, Pour Some Sugar, Hysteria and Armageddon It. However my favorite songs on this c.d. were never released as singles. They are Gods Of War, I love the sound bites of Ronald Reagan's responses to acts of terrorism. The other song I like is Love and Affection.
Overall a great c.d. that no collection should be without. By the way this is the band's first release after the drummer's accident that caused him to lose an arm.

Hysteria caused Hysteria

Created: 19/01/06
Hysteria was the first album made after Rick Allen's tragic car accident in which he lost one of his arms. This was the followup album to Pyromania. Hysteria produced 7 hit singles and sold over 17 million copies. There songs such as Love Bites, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Rocket and others can still be heard of the radio today and has endured the test of time almost 20 years later. A must have album for any 80's rock lover. It's one of my favorites in my collection.

The Way Rock Is Meant to Be

Created: 09/12/09
The defining album from one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time...Hysteria was the record that propelled Def Leppard from Superstar rockers to beyond! From its hard rockin' classics Like "Armageddon It" , "Animal" , and the arena rock anthem "Pour Some Sugar on Me" to the slow burning power ballads "Love Bites" and "Hysteria", this record truly had all the makings of a superior rock album. I've seen Def Leppard live in concert twice, and both times they played 6 songs from this album, more than any other! (Rocket, Animal, Hysteria, Armageddon It, Pour Some Sugar On Me, and Love Bites) Also "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was recently voted the #2 Greatest song of the 80's by VH1. So, if you're up for some high energy arena rock, then grab a copy of "Hysteria" it won't disappoint!!!

classic metal

Created: 07/02/08
I am one of the last people that would be expected to like Def Leppard's brand of heavy metal music. This album, released over 20 years ago when I was an old man of 30, provided me back then with a tolerable initiation to this genre of music. I have no idea what the expert critics say about it, but for my money it's one of the better albums from the 80's. Unlike a number of other metal bands, Def Leppard produced a sound that came across as coherent and well designed. The band doesn't simply produce as much and as loud a sound as it can. There are actual melodies on this album, and many memorable ones at that. "Love Bites" and "Pour Some Sugar On Me" are the two tunes that brought me to the group, but the rest of the album is strong as well. Of course there are powerful guitar riffs, pounding percussion, and "expressive" vocals one expects from this musical style, but what I find unique about this group is the quality of the backing vocals and how they accentuate each and every song. "Hysteria" is the perfect album for those times when you need to release pent-up energy!
