 (30 Customer Reviews)
Four years after PYROMANIA, Def Leppard were a comparative write-off. Dismissed by critics, seemingly dogged by bad luck, with drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in a car accident, HYSTERIA had to be an album to turn heads. In retrospect, it sounded like the first true hard rock record for the CD generation. Ambitious arrangements and remixes on songs such as "Rocket" and "Armaggedon It," a crisp single in "Animal," and a dense paean to love with "Love Bites," all bets were off. Def Leppard had created an intriguing language of ideas that still speaks volumes more than a decade on.

Hysteria
 $11.99  
Between the time of Def Leppard's 1980 debut, ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, and the band's second album, HIGH 'N' DRY (released one year later), the young group had improved tremendously. An extended world tour had made the band musically tighter, but they'd also become better songwriters--HIGH 'N' DRY contains several tracks that longtime Leppard fans point to as classics. Another major reason for the group's vast improvement was that renowned producer Mutt Lange was involved in the proceedings.
While the album wasn't a smash hit, it faired extremely well on the U.S. charts, due to touring and a newly born cable network called MTV, which aired Def Leppard's low-budget clips from HIGH 'N' DRY quite often. Highlights included the power ...

Although many music fans were convinced that Def Leppard would become hard rock's next big band, few could have predicted the massive across-the-boards success that its third record, 1983's PYROMANIA, achieved. Many wondered why it was taking the group so long to release a follow-up to 1981's HIGH 'N' DRY, but the finished product was well worth the wait. Not only ...

| | Scarve Irradiant CD (2004) (Import) Bonus Track; Japan
Hysteria
$40.45
One of France's most talented and trailblazing heavy metal bands, Nice's Scarve arrived at a true milestone with the eclectic black metal of their third album, 2004's Irradiant. In fact, if the album has one glaring fault, it's assimilating too many extreme metal devices into its many-colored spectrum, but since when is variety a bad thing? At least as long as the artist in question knows when to say "when," and, except for their blatant Meshuggah tribute number, "Asphyxiate" (with its off-kilter drum patterns, minimalist tonality, and the Swedes' own Fredrik Thordendal providing the solo), Scarve usually do, tempering their restless black metal style-hopping with just enough control to keep the songwriting in focus. The deadly fusion of Strapping Young Lad's restless creative spirit and Samael's industrial black metal clearly inspires initial offerings like "Mirthless Perspectives," "An Emptier Void," and the title track, all of which also bristle ...
| | Bobnoxious Two Fisted Twisted Rock N Roll CD (2005) (Import) Import; Canada
Hysteria
$18.55
This raucous outing by the Canadian hard-rock act Bobnoxious includes "Big Cannons," "Rock the Monster," and "Stoned at Large."
BOBNOXIOUS www.bobnoxiousrock.com Bob J. Reid-Vocals, Guitar Jeff Bialkowsky-Guitar David Wyles-Drums Stan Fountain-Bass \"Like us or not, you can\'t ignore us!\"-Bob J.Reid It\'s loud. It\'s lewd. It\'s in-your-face. It\'s what made Kiss and AC/DC famous and it\'s what this band oozes from every pore. Prepare to welcome London, Ontario\'s Bobnoxious to the fold of infectious, simple, two fisted, twisted rock \'n \'roll that will kick your ass over and over again. Blowing away Southern Ontario with their electrifying live show over the past two years, Bobnoxious is nothing less than the loud guitars, grooving bass and booming drums any self-respecting rock fan has come to expect, let alone love and adore. With a twist. Featuring four-part vocal harmonies and a stunning visual light show to enthral you from beginning to end, it\'s no wonder that Bobnoxious reign supreme in the world of independent music. Brainchild of Bob J.Reid (voice, guitar) and featuring Jeff Bialkowsky (guitar, backing voice), David Wyles (drums, backing voice) and Stan Fountain (bass, backing voice), Bobnoxious is poised to take Canada by storm. The product of harder times in the life of founding member Reid (best known as the lead singerguitarist for the popular rock band S.F.H and vocalist for one of Canada\'s most legendary and influential metal bands, RAZOR), Bobnoxious is equally as vicious and raucous as any of Reid\'s earlier works. \"I was going through some personal shit,\" he relates, discussing the band\'s primordial origins. \"During those months/years I didn\'t have a band to jam in or write for because Razor wasn\'t doing anything and S.F.H. died. In other words, I was writing for ME! When I wrote these songs I wasn\'t writing for a band I was in, just writing for me so there was no real theme to the writing process.\" Yet Reid quickly found one. \"Well, maybe there was a f**k everything theme,\" he laughs. \"I needed to find a place for these songs; a common ground, so some songs being dark and doomy went in this pile and the songs with an obnoxious overtone went in that pile. That pile became Bobnoxious.\" And what a pile it is. With a foundation this brutal and muscular, one need not wonder how the band sold out of their eponymous debut\'s first pressing in under a year or how initial single \"Won\'t Go Quietly\" receives regular rotation on many Southern Ontario stations-a feat that has garnered Bobnoxious a prestigious slot in London\'s FM96 Top 96 of 2005 and top honours on www.VH1.com\'s ratings board. Similarly, track \"Big Cannons\" has become the theme song for FM96\'s ever-popular \"Brad\'s Friday Night Basement Party\" and \"Won\'t Go Quietly\" has developed such a ravenous following that the band has been virtually forced into full national distribution of the full-length album once more. However, with such humble beginnings, it\'s no surprise that Bobnoxious (the band and the album) have generated such a loyal following. As noted, the music is culled from the deepest pits of personal tragedy and despair, holding a sincerity and honesty unequalled in rock today. Peppered with ...
