	Pyromania (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pyromania is the third album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1983.
		The album is credited for paving the way for a new generation of hard rock bands in the 80's, and set the standard for albums of the genre through its combination of multi-layered vocal harmonies and heavy guitar riffs.
		Pyromania was the last album by the band to be considered a "heavy metal" album, but still ranks high on many Top Metal Album lists.

		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.

		Pyromania is released in 1983 and goes on to produce 3 #1 singles, Photograph, Foolin' and Rock of Ages.
		The album is a radical departure from the sound that made them famous and is received luke-warmly.
		Def Leppard is currently in the studio recording their 10th album appropriately title X (the Roman Numeral for 10) and it is scheduled to be released sometime this spring.

		Pyromania spawned the hits "Foolin'", "Photograph" and the humongous "Rock Of Ages", the latter of which set the standard for metal and hard rock videos, specifically the writhing and chained virgin who could only be released by ROCK.
		The album didn't move much at first, due in part to the long delay, but also because critics felt the album was laying the pop cheese on a little too thick, abandoning Def Leppard's metal ancestry.
		The album managed to be great for the entire "hair metal" genre, which had faltered a bit in favor of less pop-friendly fare like Guns ‘N' Roses.

		This was one of the smash hit singles which appeared on the "Pyromania" album, and was released in 1983 under the Vertigo Records label (catalog #VERP6a 812 293-7).
		Their debut album, soon became a hit on the charts reaching the top 20 in the U.K., and nearly hitting the top 50 spot in the U.S. Soon to follow was their first platinum release entitled "High'N'Dry".
		And because of the singles "Rock of Ages" and "Photograph", the album was rapidly approaching 10 million copies sold.

		Not only did it become one of the year's best-selling albums and made the band instant U.S. arena headliners, but it has remained a consistent seller ever since (by 1994, it had reached nine million units in the U.S. alone).
		The album features such mega-hits as "Photograph", "Rock of Ages", and "Foolin'", as well as a couple of other tracks that could have easily been singles as well, "Rock Rock (Till You Drop)" and "Too Late for Love".
		PYROMANIA remains one of the best and most popular hard-rock recordings of the '80s.

		While Def Leppard had obviously wanted to write big-sounding anthems on their previous records, Pyromania was where the band's vision coalesced and gelled into something more.
		More than ever before, the band's songs on Pyromania are driven by catchy, shiny melodic hooks instead of heavy guitar riffs, although the latter do pop up once in a while.
		Leppard's quest for huge, transcendent hard rock perfection on Pyromania was surprisingly successful; their reach never exceeded their grasp, which makes the album an enduring (and massively influential) classic.

		The third album released by Enya in the early 90's, but the first album she made in the early 80s, therefore justified here.

		Pyromania sees DL at the height of their pop/metal powers just before the pop sound would take over on the albums that followed.
		To give this album more of an "edge" over the current rock competition, DL brings back producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (that's right, High And Dry was his first time producing for DL, NOT PYROMANIA), and sends the band into the studio working hard for about a year.
		The band never sounded better and this was the last album for a while that drummer Rick Allen would play an acoustic kit on as he hadn't had his tragic 1984 car wreck yet in which he would lose his left arm.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Pyromania
		History tells us that drummer Rick Allen would lose his arm during the recording sessions for the follow-up Hysteria and that the band would go on to reinvent itself into a group that uses technology to drive their message home.
		In 1983, Pyromania was the biggest album of the band's career todate.
		It is Pyromania that has "Photograph" and "Rock of Ages," which are the songs that cover bands learn when they decide to cover a Def Leppard tune.

		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.

		I don't know why they don't, for while this album is by no means their masterpiece, it's still pretty entertaining.
		The last album to feature guitarist Pete Willis (who would be replaced by Phil Collen on Pyromania), this album also marks the beginning of the band's tenure under producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange".
		High 'N' Dry is the kind of album that remains in the background, known by the long-time fans of Def Leppard, but waiting to be discovered by many other people.

		Pyromania (literally meaning "a mania for fire") is the third album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music).
		Thomas Dolby recorded some of the synthesizer parts on this album under the alias Booker T. Boffin.
		The cover of this album shows fire erupting from a skyscraper and the final three numbers of its catalogue number, Vertigo 6359119, are the Japanese way of representing 911.

		Def Leppard recorded their first album in an old house, and had it done in three weeks.
		That album was, "On Through the Night." Def Leppard's next album was, "High N' Dry" which features one of my all time favorite songs, "Bringing On the Heartbreak." (Which was written as, "A certain Heartache" for all you fact collectors out there.) High N' Dry wasn't selling very well anywhere in the beginning.
		Def Leppard's next album was, "Hysteria," which was supposed to be finished in a year.

		During the recordings of "Pyromania" (1983), the band's third official album, Pete Willis is fired due to the fact that he can't play his parts, due to heavy drinking.
		Girl released two albums ("Sheer Greed" and "Wasted Youth") and the line-up at the time was Phil Lewis (lead vocals, later in LA Guns), Phil, Simon Laffy (bass), Gerry Laffy (guitar) and Brillo (drums) Before Vivian joined Def Leppard, he played in a number of bands.

		The band wasn't happy with this release and the judge decided that the album should be taken off the shelves.

	Photograph by Def Leppard Songfacts
		The album was produced by Mutt Lange, who came up with the line "All I've got is a photograph." This gave them the idea to write a song about a guy who's crazy about a girl, but all he has of her is a photograph.
		Their first hit was "Bringing on the Heartbreak" from their On Through the Night album.
		That song actually got a decent amount of radio airplay before this album was released and was actually the song that put Def Leppard on the map.

		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.
		This album is one of the all time rare pleasures in life, an album of music guaranteed to uplift.
		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.

	Robert John "Mutt" Lange
		In 1983, Def Leppard released their third album, "Pyromania", which was not only produced by Mutt, it had him credited as co-writter on all of the songs (some as principle writer).
		However, he stayed on as executive producer for the 1992 "Adrenalize" album where he continued to be co-writer on all of the songs except for one.
		He proved to be very beneficial to Foreigner, who's 2nd and 3rd albums did not quite live up to the debut album, and resulted in Mick Jones' reducing the band from 6 members to 4.

	Album Details
		On their third album, Pyromania, the band reconciled new wave melodicism with heavy metal and catchy hooks without compromising any of its edge.
		The album has sold over 10 million copies, due in part to heavy rotation on MTV.
		Guitarists Phil Collen and Steve Clarke may have provided all the pyrotechnics on Pyromania, but the focal point of Def Leppard's sound, particularly for their teenage female fans, was singer Joe Elliott's voice (and, of course, his hair).

		The album tha got many a pre-pubescent boy into heavy metal (including me) is a magical blend of power-pop and driving riffs.
		They did go onto sell a gazillion more copies of "Hysteria", but this one sold just fine thank you, and it built them a fan base that was hungry enough to wait FOUR years for each of their two followups.
		By the Nineties they were burnt out and boring, but at the time of Pyromania, some of them were still teenagers and it shows gloriously on this album.

		When they went into the studio to record Pyromania, Def Leppard was just another English band with an odd name and lousy album sales.
		In 1983, the Leps put themselves in the hands of legendary music producer "Mutt" Lange, and almost a year and thousands of overdubs later, Pyromania was born.
		When we did Pyromania, we came to the conclusion we could make another High and Dry, or we could utilize the new technologies that had come available.
