The song is a powerful rock song that includes a lot of airplay potential. Rocking and melodic, that is how this appetizer can be described. Seven years after the UK rock veterans released the self-titled album. Their latest longplayer could connect to the success of the `80s when Def Leppard released with æHysteriaÆ a mega-seller album. The longplayer went straight into the Top 10 in various charts and now it is up to æDiamond Star HalosÆ to continue the winning streak. One thing right away. The legendary status of the first three longplayers will stay untouched. The new album, with all the bright moments, canÆt connect to the metallic roots of the early days. Instead, æDiamond Star HalosÆ is a well-done rock album that carries partly the spirt of æHysteriaÆ. Songs like ÆSOS EmergencyÆ show some parallels especially in the chorus with a melody made for the big stadium shows. æU Rock MiÆ is an interesting song on the album since the first half is stripped down to the minimum. Joe ElliotÆs voice is very much in focus in the verse before the tune gains power in the chorus part with the joining guitars. The record features 15 songs which a respectable running time for a longplayer. Songs, adding to the length of the album, are the ballads à and there might be a few too much. æGoodbye For Good This TimeÆ is one of these soulful moments and while listening to it one can easily imagine the army of lit smartphones during a live show. æThis GuitarÆ, together with æLifelessÆ, is another emotional moment on the album. The rock veterans invited Alison Krauss for joining the band for these two country-inspired tunes. The first one, although named æThis GuitarÆ, isnÆt about the roaring riffs. Instead, the acoustic guitar dominates and the song itself is an emotional story about the guitar, having the potential to give perspective to life. It is almost a love song for the six-string instrument. æAngels (CanÆt Help You Now)Æ is another calmer moment on the album, and it is a pity that the band doesnÆt unleash the beast of rockÆnÆroll more often. æUnbreakableÆ, although not being the loudest track on the album, shows some more energy and there are a few songs, like æTake What You WantÆ, the opener, being a typical Def Leppard mainstream smashers. Why not more of this kind of tunes is the remaining question after the last tones of æFrom Here to EternityÆ fade away. Def Leppard play is safe this time which also means that there are too many compromises. Def Leppard doesnÆt take any risk and release with æDiamond Star HalosÆ a crowd pleaser. This longplayer is a standard rock album that feels like the band had an obligation to release an album more than the guys having been on fire when starting work on their newest effort. This halo unfortunately fades rather quickly. http://www.DefLeppard.com https://www.facebook.com/DefLeppard https://defleppard.lnk.to/DiamondStarHalos
