However, I think the songwriting is great on this. And the guitars are heavier than in a long time. And hey, there's even some really nice solos!
I'm really into this album, much more than I expected to be. I don't think it's a pop cop-out like X or Yeah!, and, while not as good as Adrenalize, it's still full of well written tunes. Plenty filler, yeah, but what Leppard album since Retroactive didn't have lots of filler?
I think it's great. I just wish they'd rock a bit harder, spend some more time in songs for instrumental sections and Phil/Viv - fucking SHRED please!

wre did you hear its the last album for mercury?
