Their label has been very patient with them, I'm very suprised they are still on a major label... I don't know that there is demand for another album. They might as well just tour every summer and make their money off ticket sales, royalties and t-shirts... |

well i think they have 1 album left on their record deal. i believe joe elliot said that mercury records (which is now owned by island) basically said they will be on that label until they retire since between 1983 and 1995 they made the record label so much money |

While you're at it, look for the Jimmy Kimmel Show performance from the last week or 2. Joe Elliot sounded HORRIBLE! |

This is their final album for Mercury.
I have to say, I'm pissed off that they claimed it was like AC/DC crossed with High N Dry. It's simply NOTHING at all like that.
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!

WTF is up with Joe's voice on that Jimmy Kimmel thing?
That's just horrible. He better not sound like that live in Glasgow.
