BB Steal - On the edge
Def Leppard are not really known for releasing albums very often. Pyromania 1983, Hysteria 1987, Adrenalize 1992 are just examples of that time frame. 1993 the Leps released "Retro active" with a collection of covers and some B-sides, e.g. nothing new to feed the fans. Their next release didn't see the light of day until 1996, when "Slang" came out (reviewed on this site). So, luckily then, some guys released an album in "true" Def Leppard sound, maybe the sound many fans wanted to hear on "Slang". This is "On the edge" by BB Steal, released in 1994. The "stadium rock" feel is very much present here, and the harmonies and songs works perfectly. The production is not quite as good as on the last Leppard albums, but, honestly, who cares when the songs are this good?
