Probably Def Leppard's best album, and certainly their most successful, Hysteria pretty much sums up 80s hard rock: catchy, tuneful, and fun. It's also one of the few albums from the period that doesn't sound dated now, and singles like "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Armageddon It", and "Rocket" remain staples of rock radio. The rest of the album is equally entertaining; "Animal" and "Hysteria", while mid-tempo, have the same slick intensity, and "Love Bites" is one of the few pop-metal ballads that doesn't sound saccharine over a decade after its release. Def Leppard may be remembered more for their hair than their music these days, but that's more due to changing tastes than anything else. It's still good. --Genevieve Williams

I bought a copy on vinyl (before I started going to cassette tapes), and I never bothered buying this album on cassette or CD. Then I learned that it was being released as a deluxe double disc set. I've waited long enough, and it was worth it! This was/is my first DL album, and the boys still sound great. [Sadly, we lost Steve Clark, and Rick Allen's left arm. RIP]

My title says it all. If you consider yourself a fan of rock and roll, you MUST own this album!

I think this was one of my first rock tapes, along with Aerosmith's "Permanent Vacation" and Great White's "Once Bitten Twice Shy". I loved this album top to bottom, for all the great songs it has, still today I have most of it on my IPOD and enjoy very much listening to them: Armageddon, Animal, Pour Some Sugar On Me are outstanding rock songs and the whole album is worthwile playing straight up. Catchy choruses, guitar riffs and great melodies for those few who haven't heard this album already, are in this great (for me their best) CD. Must have if you're born in the late 70's!!!

Hysteria isn't my favorite Def Leppard album (I rank Pyromania #1 and High N Dry #2) but it's impossible to deny the impact or popularity the band achieved with this release. There are a ton of great hit songs on here, and no Def Leppard collection should be without Hysteria. My favorite tracks include: Women, Rocket, Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria, Armageddon It, and Love Bites.

As mentioned below, this is an awesome album- in fact, one of Def Leppard's greatest!
Before you purchase this, however, don't pay attention to the reviews below that list this as coming with a second record with lots of extras. Like me, you'll be getting your hopes up and be disappointed a bit once it arrives. This LP is just that- a single 12" with all the original songs... no previously unreleased material, just the ORIGINAL album ONLY.
I blame this on Amazon, as they should really be careful to separate comments that go with CD versions and vinyl.
Do you really want the best sounding version? Go with this no-frills, vinyl version rather than the CD- I HIGHLY recommend it!
