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.

5 stars Why should you miss it?
Since Pyromania came out I was waiting for Def's new album. It took 4 years but after that I had it. Refined guitars and melodies are the winning part of this masterpiece.

5 stars Never ages
A person can listen to this album a hundred times and still not hear everything this album has to offer. This is THE best cd I have ever heard in my life thus far. The only way a person could tell this is an eighties cd is by the quality. The eighties had quality music. Get this CD. I promise you will like this CD at first listen.

5 stars pop candy
pop metal never sounded so tasty like snickers or resses peanut butter cup. def leppard scored the big one with hysteria. after many a roadblock after pyromania, hysteria is the golden egg. pour some dugar on me is the be all and end all stripper anthem. love bites is pretty so is the title track. they say it is a greatest hits album but i don't see it. this and the black album are big sellers amongst the trends. the made a deluxe edition too but i am sticking to the first disc of pop metal goodness. i think it did mark the good and bad sides of metal. i like the production unlike some people but again this and the balck albums score high on production standards for me. if you wanna go back to the age of excess then get it.
