Def Leppard have released a whole host of standout albums that combine great artistic creation with huge commercial success, particularly during the 80s with records like\u00a0High\u2019n\u2019Dry\u00a0(1981),\u00a0Pyromania\u00a0(1983) and\u00a0Hysteria\u00a0(1987)\u2014the latter of which went 12 times platinum in the US alone.\u00a0As grunge and new modern music gained traction, it really dealt a blow to MTV-era hard rock bands, but Def Leppard\u2014like many of the old school rockers of the time\u2014never gave up. If you\u2019ve been closely following the band\u2019s career since the early 90s, Diamond Star Halos\u00a0won\u2019t come as a surprise since the band have followed a fairly logical progression. From civilised ballads to huge productions that have swapped hard rock for more classic rock, they could easily be included within the AOR genre. This English band haven\u2019t lost their knack for creating huge hits either: there\u2019s three on this 2022 album alone.This album is smooth, clean, and harmonised. The agressive sound they went for in their early years has been replaced with the kind of class that only comes with age, even their big riffs have a classy edge (for example in\u00a0SOS Emergency, which starts off heavy but eventually morphs into a track well-suited to mainstream radio). Naturally, this release features its fair share of ballads, some of them more accomplished than others. Keyboardist Mike Garson (David Bowie\u2019s faithful companion) even features in the credits of Goodbye for Good This Time and Angels (Can\u2019t Help You Now). The guest list also includes Alison Krauss, the 27-time Grammy Award-winning bluegrass star (who has also released two albums in duet with Robert Plant in the past). Her vocals light up\u00a0This Guitar\u00a0and\u00a0Lifeless. There are few other tracks that pack a real punch too: the lively and synthetic Unbreakable, the groovy\u00a0U Rock Mi (which has a chorus that was just made for live stadium performances) and the incredible\u00a0Open Your Eyes\u00a0(which really puts the spotlight on Joe Elliot\u2019s evolution as a vocalist).\u00a0Unlike Scorpions and Saxon with their recent viagra-fuelled albums, Def Leppard are now making music that\u2019s \u201csuited to their age\u201d\u2014and that\u2019s no bad thing, no one\u2019s going to be holding it against them.\u00a0Diamond Star Halos\u00a0is a great rock album (perhaps even a great hard rock album). It might have been worth dropping two or three tracks from the tracklist (see if you can spot them!), but this a still a brilliant, well-produced release. There\u2019s no doubt that Def Leppard have still got something to say that\u2019s worth hearing. \u00a9 Charl\u00e9lie Arnaud\/Qobuz","sku":"i82yybl4u3qfb","releaseDate":"2022-05-27","brand":"@type":"Brand","name":"Def Leppard","offers":"@type":"Offer","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/diamond-star-halos-def-leppard\/i82yybl4u3qfb","priceCurrency":"USD","price":8.79,"itemCondition":"https:\/\/schema.org\/NewCondition","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OnlineOnly","seller":"@type":"Organization","name":"Qobuz"} "@context":"http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/","@type":"MusicAlbum","@id":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/diamond-star-halos-def-leppard\/i82yybl4u3qfb","url":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/diamond-star-halos-def-leppard\/i82yybl4u3qfb","name":"Diamond Star Halos","description":"Listen Diamond Star Halos by Def Leppard on the Qobuz Webplayer","datePublished":"2022-05-27","potentialAction":"@type":"ListenAction","target":["@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/fr-fr\/album\/diamond-star-halos-def-leppard\/i82yybl4u3qfb?autoplay=true","actionPlatform":["http:\/\/schema.org\/DesktopWebPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/IOSPlatform","http:\/\/schema.org\/AndroidPlatform","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleAudioCast","http:\/\/schema.googleapis.com\/GoogleVideoCast"]],"expectsAcceptanceOf":"@type":"Offer","category":"free","eligibleRegion":[] (function(w,d,s,l,i)[];w[l].push('gtm.start':new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'); var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true; j.src='//www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl; f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);)(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-MTLV8X8');

My best friend in high school had an older brother who had already turned us on to Def Leppard's "On Through The Night" and "High And Dry" albums. So when "Pyromania" was released we were already well versed in the band and what they could do. Overnight everyone in my high school starting wearing union jack shorts or t-shirts. MTV had "Photograph" in regular rotation and by regular I mean every 30 minutes. Radio was suddenly embracing them as a heavy metal Beatles. It was a good time to be young and into hard rock music.
For almost 40 years now, Krokus has stood for high-quality honest-to-goodness, hand-made power rock. No other Swiss rock band sells albums worldwide like Krokus. The band has already sold over 14 million records, toured the world, and received gold and platinum discs in the USA and Canada. The milestones in their rock career are dotted around the world: from Australia and the USA to Mexico, Russia, Japan, and China. Today they are back in their classic line-up with Mandy Meyer and are stronger than ever on their new album, DIRTY DYNAMITE. The band spent two years working on the new album under the watchful eye of producer Chris Von Rohr at the legendary Abbey Road Studio. Guitarist Mark Kohler has this to add: This is not just another Krokus album. I think we have definitely passed another rock milestone with this record. -Dirty_Dynamite-CD-FLAC-2013-FORSAKEN.rar 2ff7e9595c
