	Encyclopedia: Slang (album) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Slang is an album by British hard rock band Def Leppard, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music).
		Slang is sometimes confused with jargon which is the collection of vocabulary specific to a profession: medical terminology for example.
		Examples of rhyming slang are: 'apples and pears' for 'stairs' and 'trouble and strife' for 'wife.' An example of truncation and replacement of rhyming slang is bottle and glass for arse.

	Slang
		Slang is the non-standard use of words in a language and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language.
		With the growth of text messaging, slang terms have even adopted commonly used spellings which do not conform to the rules of formal language; thus what a youth of the 1960s might have called groovy, a youth of 2002 might call "phat", both verbally and in text messages.
		Slang is often the dissemination of jargon from a specific profession or recreation to the general public.

	Slang by DEF LEPPARD (lyrics & reviews)
		Why they chose Slang as the title track eludes me as it is easily the worst song on the album.
		But whereas those albums were strictly geared towards escapist entertainment, "Slang" is the only example of Def Leppard's music that actually touched upon genuine artistry.
		The first track "Truth" of the album proves that they are on to something different by with an industrial scratch-drum as the main beat.

		Obviously, in 1996, when this album was released, Leppard was extremely 'uncool', with their previous effort, the contrived 1991 effort 'Adrenalize', only giving the grunge movement fodder to go against.
		For the most part, Slang sounds like a whole new Leppard, and the beginnings of sounds and musical territories that could have, and SHOULD have been seriously explored in future works, instead of returning to pop-metal (albiet decent pop-metal) with 1999's Adrenalize and the newly-released 'X'.
		'Slang', the song, is, according to the Leps themselves, the most 'Leppard-sounding' song on the album, and I must agree.

	Melodicrock.com Reviews "X"
		On Slang the band tried to propel themselves too far into a direction that fans didn't were not comfortable with.
		This is not Hysteria 2002 or Slang 2002 - this is Def Leppard 2002.
		The first half of the album is the more laid back and best half, while the second half picks up the tempo with some more traditional Leppard rock n roll moments, but maybe isn't quite as strong.

		It definitely wasn't the case that the album was bad, since lots of articles in magazines were positive about it.
		And finally, some versions of "Slang" are accompanied by a 6-track CD with an acoustic performance in Singapore.
		For "Slang", the reason was that the lyrics had a much more deeper meaning than what they used to write about, and (according to Joe Elliott), "the lyrics were written like that because they look good on paper".

	CD Baby: SLANG: Blue
		This is a very strong album and the way it kicks off with the authoritative and contagious "The Wind of Your Dreams," it sets the precedence for the entire album.
		I did not hear a track on this album that was a throwaway; they all had their own character and appealing sound that allows each member of the band a chance to prove why they are candidates for a major league contract either as a band or individually.
		The technical aspects of producing a solid album such as this are paramount and I must say I think they really nailed it down on this session because it sparkles.

	Mindview interviews Def Leppard! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		When about half a year ago 'Slang', the sixth studioalbum of Def Leppard (The special 'Retro Active' and the VERZAMELAAR 'Vault' excluded), was released it was very obvious that these Brittish were looking for a sound for the nineties.
		The wait for a new Def Leppard album is definitly a timeconsuming thing and there has been a great deal of work on the -more or less- predictable sound on 'Slang'.
		In essence 'Slang' doesn't differ that much in comparison with 'Adrenalize', it is still a Def Leppard album of course.

	lyrics/the slang album/etc.
		obviously slang showed that the boys are capable of writing more substantial lyrics, but i still look at that album as a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the grunge years.
		of course, after slang failed they remade hysteria (again) and the new album is the least challenging thing they've ever done, both musically and lyrically.
		their last 3 or 4 albums make you wonder what is sincere and what was made with album sales in mind...

	Oleo - Def Leppard Slang
		Def Leppard quickly moved from the accoustic and organic frame which the previous Retro Active album created; allowing the seeds to be planted for the Slang album.
		The masterpiece of this album though, "Pearl of Euphoria" is an almost 7 minute journey of Jim Morrison meets an agressive and angry Def Leppard vibe which reminds one of what happens when the band writes on pure emotion and vibe.
		Classic album on my list of the best albums of 1996 also it is the bands final album on vinyl.

		City Slang are releasing two albums simultaneously, a tribute album (not currently available for the US) and an artist album to salute a living legend.
		The new album sees To Rococo Rot at their most accessible, weaving intricate melodies amongst intimate sounds, whilst maintaining the trademark warmth and elegance that has always lain deep at the heart of their sound.
		The new album fleshes out the sound and extends the dynamic boundaries, whilst maintaining Robin's traditional but effective approach of keeping things minimal, whether they be lyrically or musically.

	Martin Mathis' Album Review Page
		Albums are rated very subjectively and from 1 to 5 stars; where * is worst and ***** is best.
		The only hang-up I have with this album is that the Ramones called it quits, for good, forever, no doubt and now we see another album after all.
		I had great expectations for Webb Wilder's long-awaited follow-up album to 1991's "Doo Dad" (the 1995 release "Town and Country" was all cover songs), after all I consider "Doo Dad" to be his best album to date.

		The album's single "New Slang" is possibly one of the best acoustic songs I've ever heard-even though there is a great but simple electric guitar section too.
		This album has a certain feel to it that is consistent from the first note to the last.
		I hear their next album is more eclectic but not as satisfying, I don't know, I haven't heard it yet.

	[No title]
		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.
		Work on this album started in 1997, and after two years, it's almost here (by the time you read this, it may be available already).

	MelodicRock.com :: View topic - The Dreaded SLANG Album!!!!
		It was spooky how with Adrenalize, an album that debutted at No. 1 on Billboard charts, was welcomed openly but with Slang, Leppard lost their charm over the public.
		Slang is not a “dreaded” album because of the songs on it, it is more like the Leps attitude since that album has turned Leppard onto a dead end road.
		Before Slang, this band relied on their own instincts, but since Slang it seems that they have looked to others with a track record to show them which direction to follow.

		A fine example of the Tarwater sound, the last track on their 1998 album »Silur« (released on Kitty Yo), which made the Top 25 year-end listings of the NME and many other publications.

		There are many songs on “Deep Water Slang V2.0” that are instantly gratifying.
		The track, “Deep Water Slang” is a useless bluesy interlude that is too short to be annoying.
		Zion I’s “Deep Water Slang V2.0” is an entertaining album filled with passion, good beats, nice scratching, and unique live instrumentation.

		"Deep Water Slang V2.0" is not perfect but it is strong enough to be entertaining, thought provoking and original.
		Water is the source of all life and both fans and newcomers to Zion I should just dive into their new album.

		Slang is complete departure from Leppard's previous work and shows just how versatile and talented these guys really are.
		The fact this album is better overall musically then many of the grunge bands shows that grunge is a fad, and will eventually die out, leaving the really talented bands in place progressively developing their own music.
		This is also the first album in which Vivian Campbell (Formally with Dio) actually wrote a couple of the songs and played some guitar.

		Sure, Slang is a bit of a departure for Def Leppard, and no, it doesn't sound like a "fun" record at all, but who ever said a band should stick to one sound, and only one sound?
		By the time Slang was released, Def Leppard was one of the biggest bands in the world.
		They still are, but when Slang was released they took a chance and put out an album that was dark, and moody.

		That said, I can without reservation recommend his new album, and I haven't even listened to it yet.
		-- I love this album because it comes with an accompanying DVD containing all five parts of the "Trapped in the Closet" series, which packs an enough drama to fill half a season of the OC into a four-by-ten, surprisingly empty closet.
		But I haven't even pressed play on his new album yet and, already, it's been a pleasure.

		The album highlights the extraordinary potency of the songs, that were mostly written to be covered by other artists.
		The band were invited to perform a live soundtrack in San Francisco to F.W.Murnau’s classic film ‘Sunrise’ in the spring of 2003, and this enabled front man Kurt Wagner to select a total of thirty six songs from a “buttload” of music accumulated between the summer of 2002 and the spring of 2003.
		The single is followed-up next week by the release of the band’s eponymous debut album which mixes up 70’s funk and soul, a solid amount of early 90’s indie rock, organic hip-hop beats and syncopated lyrical exploration.

	Slang by Def Leppard CD
		With '80s hard rock all but dead and gone by the mid-'90s, Def Leppard rethought their approach and resurfaced with 1996's SLANG.
		The indulgences that rocketed Leppard to the top of the charts a decade earlier were stripped away as the veteran band attempted to stay in step with the new alternative rock acts.
		While SLANG didn't hit the charts as hard as such past classics as PYROMANIA and HYSTERIA, it contained its share of highlights, namely "Work it Out," "All I Want is Everything," and "Blood Runs Cold." The group would revisit their original sound with their next release, 1999's EUPHORIA.
