GREAT ALBUM. WHEN WILL IT BE REMASTERED? 
2008-01-15
This is a classic, but it needs to be remastered. The only version available is the original CD master, put out it 1990. It sounds weak. I can't believe it hasn't been remastered yet.
3 stars simply because the sound quality is so bad.
an all-time classic album

What can be said about Pyromania in addition to the previous reviews? Not much. It's a brilliant album, and a true rock classic. Awesome guitars, riffs, hooks, lyrics, and vocals. There is not a bad track on here, it is five-stars from start to finish. My favorites are Photograph, Stagefright, Too Late For Love, Comin Under Fire, and Rock of Ages. A modern musical masterpiece.
My favorite Def Leppard album 2007-12-04
I know that everyone has an opinion, but since that's the point of a review, here's mine.
I think this is DL's best album and a must-have in any collection that is to include any 80's rock.
Enough said.
Def Leppard's finest hour!!!

Very few times does an album stand the test of time for good song writing and being all killer, no filler. Pyromania lives up to this billing as a record that is as seminal in the pantheon of 80's metal as Quiet Riot's Metal Health. If you are expecting the hair metal of Pour Some Sugar on Me or Let's Get Rocked or Rocket, you will be disappointed. This is a metal album with radio friendly pop hooks, lyrics that will not change the world but are solid, and fine musicianship. The song Foolin' is worth the price of the CD alone as probably the only non-whimpy 80's power ballad. Pyromania is the most solid and even of the early Def Leppard albums, though High 'n Dry is close to this level. If you like metal but were put off by some of their later dross that you heard on TV or the radio, this is the album to pick up... the album before they jumped the shark and tried to be hair metal gods.

My CD was sent to me in excellent condition. Thanks for being very prompt.

Many people assume that Def Leppard is heavy metal and so do not try them. However this album and Hysteria are must haves for any music enthusiast. The songs are well crafted and with a lot of attention to production.
Once again Mobile Fidelity has done a fine job of bringing out the best from the original recording without resorting to compression or other nasties. The bass is deep and strong, vocals are very clear and every instrument can be heard. A must for audiophiles that like to rock!
Watch Your Back Hysteria 2008-05-15
Perfect Blend of Pop and genuine metal...more edgy than Hysteria. Photograph is the best pop metal song of all time...and Def Leppards best (despite all the success of nearly every song on Hysteria).
Also...
Pyromania has nearly caught up to Hysteria in album sales...10 million plus against 12 million plus. DL is one of five bands all time to have two diamond albums (Beatles, Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Eagles).
If it's not in your CD collection, you're missing out 2008-05-08
I'll be the first to say I am not a die-hard Def Leppard fan. I LOVE hair metal, and groups like Scorpions, Motley Crue, Dokken and Whitesnake never fail to please me. Def Leppard is a great, rocking group that knows how to make some great music.
And 1983's 'Pyromania' is probably their finest moment. 'Billy's Got A Gun,' 'Photograph,' 'Rock Of Ages' and 'Foolin'' got tons of radio airplay back in the day, and they all remain classic rock radio staples even today.
Mutt Lange produced this classic, which is, in my opinion, one of the best produced records of all-time.
Overall, this is a classic album from a great hair metal band. Highly recommended for any Def Leppard or classic rock fan. It's an essential release that skyrocketed Leppard to fame. ENJOY!!!
The End of Chapter One for Def Leppard 2008-05-02
This is the album that really broke Def Leppard to the masses. Nearly every song is a classic and two of their best epics appear here in "Die Hard The Hunter" and "Billy's Got A Gun". This is one of those albums that everyone should own, it's just that good. This will be the last hurrah for Pete Willis as he was dismissed during the recording process. His influence is all over the record though. Def Leppard will never have the same big riff style that they had with Willis but he drank himself out of the band so what can you do. We all saw what happened to Steve Clark when he couldn't handle the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. New guitarist Phil Collen's impact will be very apparent on Hysteria.
Butt Rock... Crap Rock

God I hate this music. It's crap and always has been. I really think that people who like this stuff have something wrong with them. It seems like only girls should like this music. This is the musical equivalent of that show Full House. Everyone knows it sucks, but there are a few weirdos who think it's the best thing ever... and they are all girls. This music is pure cheese and the people who enjoy it are cheesey. I don't know at what point you trade in your testicles for a fondness of Def Leppard, but it seems to have happened to a lot of people. The only people who should listen to this album are the ones who use Aqua-Net or Stiff Stuff on their bangs and think that Bon Jovi is a better musician than an actor.
