| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com
While many of their peers were abandoning '70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era's music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK's new metal revival and one of the '80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, platinum-selling prime, though the inclusion of the video edit/remixes of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "Rocket" attempts to cast them in a more club-friendly contemporary groove. But the grittier second disc showcases some of the early, overlooked roots of On Through the Night and High 'N' Dry, as well as underappreciated later gems like '99's "Promises" and a power-pop-perfect take on Badfinger's "No Matter What" from an upcoming covers project. --Jerry McCulley

 Excellent Greatest Hits Overall December 23, 2008
For the true fan, this is a great compilation of all their works. You can get the Vault for the 80s classic hits.
 Awesome December 8, 2008
I LOVE this CD so much I had to buy two... One for the car and one for the house! This is a MUST HAVE CD even if your not a D.L. fan!!!
Disc 1 awesome! Disc 2 only ok October 16, 2008
Disc one is amazing! It has 11 of my favorite Def Leppard songs. The rest are still pretty good. But Disc two...not so much. Actually there are only 2 good songs and the rest stink. But even with that in mind, I really recommend this collection for the first disc.
Gift for the sister October 13, 2008
My sister received this as a gift and she loves this cd. It takes her back to the old days when we were young and rocking out to Def Lepard. She turns it up loud in while she is driving in the car and acts like she thinks she is young again, I hope noone tells her different.
great overall collection May 28, 2008
if you don't want to buy several of their CD's, this is a great choice. I would have perferred more songs from High N Dry.
