Album Description On their highly anticipated new album, Def Leppard have created a heartfelt and hard rocking tribute to their musical heroes of the late 60's and 70's - the Kinks, Badfinger, T. Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music, Mott the Hoople, Free, Faces, and Thin Lizzy. Recording essential versions of the music that influenced their youth, the band have brilliantly merged the 'Now with the 'Then' to create a buzz that can only be summed up in one word: YEAH!

I have been a fan of Def Leppard since the early 80's. A number of people may not know a lot of the songs on the cd and may only be familiar with a few like I was. I had heard good things about this album and it does not disappoint. I was also lucky enough to get the bonus disc that came with it. Very good and worthy covers of all the songs. As with all albums there are some songs that I like more than others but there is not one song that I just downright hate. Well worth the money spent. This album will stay in my ipod playlist for a long time.
2009-03-12 Another Great Album!
What's great about this album is that while I knew a few of the songs on it that they're covering, like Stay With Me, Rock On, others were less familiar or I didn't know at all and Def Leppard did them so well that it's like getting a brand new Def Leppard album--all new music. Truly glad to add this to my collection.
2009-02-20 Def Leppard "YEAH !" CD - An Outstanding Album CD of "Covers"!!! "Simply Awesome"!!!!
There have already been many reviews of this, so I'll just add a few things. How about a "BIG AMEM" to the 60 previous reviewers who gave it a 5 star rating!!! I got to see Def Leppard perform live on thier "Yeah" Tour of this album CD, and they were "AWESOME". This is a great CD, and I highly recommend it!!!! ALSO, THE COMPANION BONUS CD IS GREAT ALSO, GET IT IF YOU CAN!!! THANKS!!!
2008-10-24 Great album
Much maligned and panned, this is a good album. The band's take on classics is well worth having and re-visiting often.
2008-05-14 The Leps give us a review of their soft-rocking influences
Well, I guess I'd better preface this by saying I'm a fan of Def Leppard's more hard-rocking stuff like "Pyromania" and "Retroactive", and that's the crux of my mixed feelings about this album. It consists of their covers of 70's music that inspired them, and many of these covers are rather mediocre ones of rather mediocre 70's glam and pop-rockers - not bad, just nothing great. However, there are a number of great ones in here, too - particularly "Don't Believe A Word" (orig. by Thin Lizzy), "10538 Overture" (ELO), etc.. as well as some decent ones. Overall about a third pretty good, a third decent, and a third kind of boring.
