    Tear It Down is the best song on the album, even though it was a leftover. Overall it ranks just behind Hysteria and just ahead of their most underrated...Euphoria.

    the ballad is pretty good but i think the ballad left off, "when love and hate collide", was better

    no i was talking about "have you ever needed someone so bad". sorry for the confusion. i was talking about songs other than "tear it down".

    i'd actually rank the songs like this
    tonight
    personal property
    tear it down
    have you ever needed...
    stand up
    i wanna touch you
    white lightning
    lets get rocked
    make love like a man
    heaven is

    songs that were worked on but left off and should have been on there
    when love and hate collide
    shes too tough

    they should have finished "desert song" and "fractured love" and put them on adrenalize

    "they should have finished "desert song" and "fractured love" and put them on adrenalize"

    True, but without those two songs Retroactive would be pretty boring:crazy:

    i just listened to retroactive last night. they should have put "heaven is", "make love like a man" and "lets get rocked" on retroactive and replaced them with those two songs and "shes too tough" on adrenalize

    This album is one great listen from top to bottom. Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad is a superb ballad and should have been the 2nd single in june 1992. Tonight White Lightning Stand Up Personal Property Have You Ever 5 in a row very very solid. I Wanna Touch You is a fun little song after the big ballad and Tear It Down caps it off nicely. The vocals on Heaven Is are addictive. The covert art is just perfect! When Love And Hate Collide is ok on Vault for me! It's maybe better than Tonight but I much prefer Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad.

    i'm not sure "lets get rocked" was a good choice foe the first single but for sure the band made a bad choice in the 2nd single.

    the demo of "when love and hate" is better than the vault version

    I was surprised it wasn't a massive hit.

    The vocals on the When Love And Hate Collide demo are a little bit rough and would have needed a little work but the Steve Clark solo on it is miles better than the one on the finished version on Vault. I love both versions overall though!

    The harder Def Leppard songs from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th albums are so underrated. Run Riot, Gods Of War, Women, Tear It Down, Stagefright, Rock Rock Till you Drop, White Lightnight etc.

    Another album much like the technotronic disaster before it, created by robots, written for 12 year olds, and laughed at by metalheads everywhere.

    Euphoria is about 20 times better than most of Adrenalize. It's kind of a bummer so few people have heard it.

    I have listened to Euphoria many times, and it's nowhere near as good as Adrenalize. Adrenalize has lots of classics and flows well. Euphoria has 2 great songs and lots of average or terrible songs. Euphoria is a disappointing half hearted attempt to recreate their vintage sound without Mutt and Steve Clark...

    euphoria has 3 great tunes, promises, paper sun and demolition man . I think its only love, the instrumental, guilt and back in your face are good as well. a few tracks that were b-sides are better than some of the tracks that made the proper album

    my first impression remains my impression to this day:

    lots of beautiful, chiming arpeggios (Collen was a master at those), but very little to strum along/rock along with in the rhythm guitar department.

    Steve Clark was a master of the art of rhythm guitar (one instance that comes immediately to mind is Clarks's ascending/descending rhythm scale behind Collen's lovely solo in Hysteria's "Love Bites" - a moving, "rhythmic" progression indeed, yet one that highlights Collen's solo at the same time - I still LOVE listening to this guitar tandem in this song - and so many other OTTT-Hysteria era tunes - to this day!

    Steve "Steamin" Clark was the rhythmic pulse of the band, and is sorely missed by these ears.

    IIRC, Clark has a cowriting credit on about half the songs on this album.

    I remember this too.

    I've always wondered if he performed on most of the tracks, only a few, or none at all?
