    Def Leppard's sixth studio album which released in 1996. they put some eastern elements like dulcimer, sitar, and mandolin. Contains some hit singles like Slang, Work It Out, All I Want Is Everything, and Breathe A Sigh. This is also their first record without Mutt Lange as the producer.

    "Slang" never got the attention or accolades it should have - mainly due to shoddy (i.e. non-existent) marketing by the record company. That's a shame because this is a ground-breaking, soulful, and kickarse album.
    
    As usual, Lep tried a little something different - they always like to be progressive and never repeat even tried-and-true formulas. The result was a before-its-time, symphonic masterpiece with Middle Eastern flair.
    
    The guys had nailed again, but unfortunately no one heard it because the record company failed the band when it came to marketing and advertisement of their latest work. It was so bad that fans started a petition, which hundreds signed, calling the reps out on their ill-treatment of these rock icons.
    
    If you enjoy Lep's distinct yet always unique and fresh sound, I highly recommend giving "Slang" a listen.

Description

Japanese edition of new album features the bonustrack 'Move With Me Slowly', separate English & Japaneselyric booklets, the singles 'Work It Out' & 'Slang' andcomes in a clear tray.***1996 Japanese release.Somewhere along their musical path, Def Leppard shed their raw, youthful rock aggression and became a pop band. Their new direction, beginning with Pyromania and continuing with Hysteria and Adrenalize, was a complete departure from their earlier, stripped-down, AC/DCish approach, and it vaulted them to mega-stardom. Slang is their first record without producer "Mutt" Lange since their debut, On Through the Night. The good news is that it's a much more organic, less overproduced record than they would have made with Lange, but it's still more pop than hard rock. Dance beats and funky riffs, with no shortage of slower power ballads, sum up this record pretty thoroughly. The single "Work It Out" has a nice strong chorus (with almost Sebadoh-like harmonies) and is certainly less bombastic than past hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Def Leppard have long since abandoned their heavy metal roots, but with Slang they've at least moved away from the studio dominance of Lange, and that's a step in the right direction. --Adem Tepedelen
