  Hysteria (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hysteria is the fourth album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1987 (see 1987 in music).
In 2003, the album was ranked number 472 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
On the album version of "Rocket", the unintelligible words sung at the very beginning of the track (which are also repeated several times throughout the break) are actually a backmasked message.

Rick's remarkable comeback and the album's immediate vaulting success on both sides of the Atlantic meant that the 'Hysteria' tour, which kicked off with a string of UK dates, was propelled from within by optimism.
By the time they came to make their next album, though, the antiseptic 'Adrenalize', the joke was now on them, as the onset of grunge and the absence of Mutt as producer contrived to put the band into a critical zone they'd never even heard of before: the one marked Old And Dated.
With three albums that turned a bunch of scruffy, know-it-all teenagers from Sheffield into the biggest, most musically forward-thinking rock band of their time, Mutt felt he had taken it as far as he could.

 Hysteria -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Hysteria is a diagnostic label applied to a state of mind, one of unmanageable fear or emotional excesses.
The term hysteria was coined by Hippocrates, who thought that the cause of hysteria was irregular movement of blood from the uterus to the brain.
Hysteria is often associated with movements like the Salem Witch Trials, the Red Scare, McCarthyism, Terrorism, and Satanic ritual abuse, where it is better understood through the related sociological term of moral panic.

The period after the album's success, however, was difficult: on December 31, 1984, Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car crash in which his Corvette veered off the road into a concrete wall.
The band has stated that they are very satisfied with this album, and that in many ways they wish it had been the follow-up to Hysteria -- in sound and style, it is a logical progression from their previous albums.
It is also Elliott's finest album as a vocalist, and the themes presented in the lyrics represent a maturing of the band members' outlooks on relationships.

Hysteria as an album had a difficult birth and at times it seemed that the album would never get made.
This DVD tells the story of the album from the early days of demoing and song writing, where the band admittedly found it difficult to motivate themselves to the re-emergence of the band and the release of the finished album over three years later.
The big story behind Hysteria of course is the horrific car accident which almost killed Rick Allen and resulted in him losing his left arm are handled again in an amazingly honest and direct way.

 DEF LEPPARD FAQ v3.6 - Albums
"Hysteria" originally had a working title of "Animal Instincts", when Rick Allen made the suggestion of "Hysteria", in partial reference to the crazy period in his life at the time of his 1984 accident, and the fan mania at the time of Pyromania's success in the States.

Hysteria was the ultimate hybrid music project with the band and producer covering almost every niche imaginable including the ballad, the rock anthem and even rap (comparisons are drawn with Queen's We Will Rock You and Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me with both having a distinctive rap style).
Although this DVD presents the original Classic Albums: Hysteria in its entirety, the bonus material should almost be classed as a whole Part II of the original with just as much relevant detail revealed.

 Feature Reviews
Hints of "Slang" and "Hysteria", this has some bright spots: "All Night" should be released as single, "Promises" is Def Lep at their greatest; big vocals, harmonies, loud rhythmic guitars that please the ears.
All I heard all spring about this album is that it was the album that the band would have put out if they had put out an album between Pyromania and Hysteria (i.e., circa 1985).
Although I did like their previous album's experimental vibe with more of a modern feel to it, I have to admit I missed the bombastic big vocals and multi layered guitar parts that put them at the forefront of melodic hard rock in the first place.

The rest of the album is equally entertaining; "Animal" and "Hysteria", while mid-tempo, have the same slick intensity, and "Love Bites" is one of the few pop-metal ballads that doesn't sound saccharine over a decade after its release.
When the "Hysteria" album was released it was an instant clasic among run-of-the-mill metal-heads with bleached denim jackets and shredded blue jeans, and rightly so, the album contains the band's most prolific songwriting beginning with "Love Bites" and especially the under-appreciated "Animals".
Hysteria was the ablum they were working on when their drummer lost his arm in an automobile accident.

Another cool thing about "Hysteria" is that it seems to bring back all the memories of the good old days, when music was all about having a good time.
The album starts out with a bang (and an attitude)on "Women", a rockin' tune with atmospheric guitars and a great beat that get your head bobbing, all building to a high-energy climax at the end.
One of my favorites off the "Hysteria" album, "Don't Shoot Shotgun" unfortunately wasn't one of the most popular songs, but it was one of the best.

 The Human League: Hysteria [reissue] - PopMatters Music Review
Hysteria, in effect, has been forgotten about in the term's of the group's career, treated as sort of a rehashed, watered down Dare.
This was the last release of the "classic" version of the Human League, their later albums would venture far off from the synth-pop course, and, if it's lacking in the vision and experimentalism of its predecessor, Hysteria makes up for it with a series of well-crafted new wave singles.
Overall, this is just a simple album, where the band sacrifices the complex arrangements and darker undertones of Dare in order to worship on the altar of Pop Muzik.

There is an import version of this album available that has a bonus track - A live version of Love And Affection, but it's not worth shelling out more than double the cost of the domestic release for the sake of a single track.

He was unavailable at the time, but luckily this album took four years to produce and after trying other producers, Mutt was able to come back on board and add his unique style of producing.
The driving force for this album was to create a Greatest Hits collection before it was even released, quite a heavy self inflicted burden on a band with limited success in England.
With the band about to release their tenth album, aptly titled X, they may never accomplish the dizzy heights achieved by Hysteria, but their longevity is proof that they truly believe in what they are doing.

Out of the thirteen tracks on the album, I would have to say that about nine of them are actually very good and after that piece of shit 'Slang' (leaves a bad taste in your mouth, doesn't it?), I love this cd even more.
The rest of the album go on with high(Back in your face, All night) and boring low (21st century girl, King of oblivion, to be alive).
The song "Promises" is the best song from "Hysteria" that was never actually written for that album, and the tracks at the end sound like their early work.

 Peter Murphy : Love Hysteria - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Having assembled, for touring purposes, what would soon be his formal backing band, the Hundred Men, and more specifically, having found a new key songwriting collaborator in ex-B. Movie keyboardist Paul Statham, Murphy created his most elegant post-Bauhaus effort to date.
Love Hysteria had definite Bowie echoes, though the feeling was more late-'70s Berlin-era than Ziggy glam.
The definite highlights of the album are two majestic ballads: "Time Has Got Nothing to Do With It," with a fine Statham synth line matching Murphy's soaring vocals; and "My Last Two Weeks," a simply wonderful romantic sentiment.

 Peter Murphy: album reviews and ratings
The album spans a broad range of styles, from the urgent opener, "The Mirror to My Woman's Mind," to the dreamlike "Subway" to the quasi-metallic "Disappearing," but the album's consistent emotional tone is created by Murphy's powerfully expressive voice.
These songs are re-defined, and reinterpreted in a way that display the depth and richness of their compositions to provide a backdrop with which to reflect, as history and present tense are cradled side by side.
The result is an album that will keep you scratching your head for a while wondering where it stands with respect to Peter's previous work.

Pyromania's slick, layered Mutt Lange production turned into a painstaking obsession with dense sonic detail on Hysteria, with the result that some critics dismissed the record as a stiff, mechanized, pop sell-out (perhaps due in part to Rick Allen's new, partially electronic drum kit).
Its blockbuster success helped pave the way for a whole new second wave of hair metal bands, while proving that the late-'80s musical climate could also be very friendly to veteran hard rock acts, a lead many would follow in the next few years.
You can't deny hysteria is a pretty catchy album.

Although the album features many of their best songs such as Hysteria and Pour Some Sugar On Me, I feel like the album fails to vary the types of songs.
The album is a combination of some good songs and some quite mediocre songs like Run Riots and Gods Of War, which are quite unimpressive titles which bring the album down.

If any album is going to get five songs performed from it, it will most likely be a new album and not a cult fans album that is more than two decades old.
In fact, what surprises me, is that Def Leppards last few albums, track for track are essentially better than the last few Bon Jovi albums, however, they have been unable to come up with that colossal single like the boys from Jersey have been able to do.
On "Hysteria" the dueling guitars of Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell were a sight to see as their dueted on their respective axes.
