Album Review: Def Leppard

YEAH!
Are these Def Leppard covers any good? Hell Yeah!

Def Leppard
Yeah!
(Island/Universal)

There are only two ways to play cover tunes: Faithfully and unfaithfully. Classic rockers Def Leppard clearly take their covers seriously, which is why they wisely opt for the former on their new tribute CD Yeah! -- with instantly addictive results.

Taking their cue from Bowie's Pinups, the Leps knock off spot-on versions of Britrock and glam chestnuts like T. Rex's 20th Century Boy, Sweet's Hell Raiser, Bowie's Drive-In Saturday, Badfinger's No Matter What, Mott's Golden Age of Rock 'n' Roll, Thin Lizzy's Don't Believe a Word, The Faces' Stay With Me and more.

There are only two ways to react to this: Either you're already going 'Yeah!' or asking what the point is.

If you're opting for the latter, you might be taking things too seriously.

Track Listing:

1. 20th Century Boy
2. Rock On
3. Hanging On The Telephone
4. Waterloo Sunset
5. Hell Raiser
6. 10538 Overture
7. Street Life
8. Drive-In Saturday
9. Little Bit Of Love
10. The Golden Age Of Rock 'n' Roll

12. He's Gonna Step On You Again
13. Don't Believe A Word
14. Stay With Me
