Vault: Greatest Hits

Amazon.com
To have resisted Def Leppard's radio power in their heyday, you'd have to have been a critic--and even some of us could hardly argue with the likes of "Photograph," "Animal," and "Bringin' on the Heartbreak." Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles from the multiplatinum Pyromania and Hysteria. It offers little meaning beyond fun fun fun, but there are hooks here that Noel Gallagher would punch a paparazzo for. --Rickey Wright

Excellent retrospective.......2007-05-23

This is a great CD. Every home should have one as it contains a slew of hits. It covers their entire over produced era and sure, it rather ineligently sidesteps their first two albums except for a remake of Bringin' on the Heartbreak, but for the casual fan this collection is probably the bees knees. It's the perfect catch all release for radio listeners who just want the hits and a couple of other tunes.

And there isn't really a lot of complaints to be made about the track listing. If your a death metal fan you won't find much joy here but for a fan of melodic hard rock and the super smooth production values these dudes were known for then this is a must buy.

The only things that may reduce your desire for this album would be a) you already own this stuff. B) there is precious little from their first two slabs - no Wasted or Hello America. If you fall into the (a) category then try to chase down the edition with a 2nd disc with 9 live tracks on it. Given Joe Elliots going on record as disliking live albums these 9 tracks may be the closest you'll ever get to a live album from this band, excluding bootlegs.

All up a great round up of the years 1980 - 1995 and highly recommended.

Turn It Up!.......2007-05-13

Def Leppard rocks! All of the songs on this cd are past hits that will have you rocking all night long.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.......2007-04-22

Why is this band still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Can someone please explain this one to me. They deserve to be inducted much more than some other groups the nobody has even heard of.

LOVE this CD.......2007-04-04

This is my second copy of this one. I wore the other one out. I loved it when it came out and I love it now. It'll get you moving.

Awesome Def Leppard.......2007-01-12

This is a great compilation, and I recommend this for all Def Leppard fans.

Great compilation of Def Leppard's career.......2004-04-01

This overall covers quite a bit of Def Leppard's career. It's a great showcase of songs to get any foreigner to Def Leppard obsessed with them. My only complaints are the exclusion of any on through the night material, and a lackluster ammount of high 'n dry and adrenalize material. Oh, and Der Kommissar, for your information, Rick Allen lost his left arm (not a criticism, just a friendly reminder).

Good band, lousy compilation.......2004-03-24

From their formation in the mid-late seventies to the modern day, Def Leppard has been one of the most consistent rock bands out there. From their days as part of the NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) to their days as a classic hard rock band in the eighties to their modern days as a pop-rock band, they rarely fail to please. It took them long enough, but at long last we have a Def Leppard greatest hits compilation. How does it measure up? Read on for my review of Vault.

PROS:
-If you're a very casual fan, and the big hits are all you're looking for, this might be enough for you. You get hits like Pour Some Sugar On Me, Bringin' On The Heartbreak, Rock Of Ages, Photograph, and many more.
-There are many underrated tracks here as well.
-There is a new recording.
-Two rare edited versions of tracks can be found here.
-This import version of the compilation features a bonus disc of live hits.
-Since this came out in 1995, there are no tracks for the horrible Slang and X albums.

CONS:
-The cover of the compilation lies. There are NO TRACKS FROM 1980 on here! That means no tracks from the band's first (and in my opinion best) album, On Through The Night.
-WAY TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON HYSTERIA. HALF OF THE ALBUM IS ON HERE!
-A few hits are missing - Hello America, Too Late For Love, and Women.
-Too many of the band's underrated masterpieces are missing - Sorrow Is A Woman, It Could Be You, Ride Into The Sun (Version One), Rocks Off, Overture, Lady Strange, High 'N' Dry (Saturday Night), Gods Of War, Comin' Under Fire, Billy's Got A Gun, and many others.
-This needed to be a two-disc compilation. Perhaps one disc of hits and one disc of underrated tracks would have been a good idea.
-No tracks from the 1999 Euphoria album since this came out in 1995.
-No lyrics included.
-Two Steps Behind and Miss You In A Heartbeat are the inferior acoustic versions, not the superior electric versions.
-Too many ballads.

OVERALL:
If you're seeking an introduction to Def Leppard, BUY THE PYROMANIA AND HYSTERIA ALBUMS - DO NOT BUY THIS. Hits compilations are often a scattershot mix of mediocre tracks that do nothing more than give you a small sample of the band's talent - and Def Leppard is no exception. Get their albums instead - I can't stress that enough.

Don't Cheat Yourselves..........2003-12-24

This might give you a taste of some classic Def Leppard tracks, but do yourself a favor and go for the full course meal. This compilation brings in more of their recent hits, which are okay (although they seem addicted to ballads lately) but High 'n' Dry, Pyromania, and Hysteria have too many overlooked, yet brilliant tunes to forget. Spend a little more for these three albums and get some great early-mid 80s rock!
