So far, I've heard the singles they've released and I'm really enjoying it. I think Fire it Up is my favorite. I just added DSH to Pandora and plan to play it this weekend; however, I jumped ahead and played This Guitar. I was curious since I've seen some general dislike for it here and there on social media. I didn't think I'd like it since I'm not really a fan of the collaborations they've done, like with Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw. BUT...I love this song. I love how good they sound together and I love the overall sound of the music. And now to vent about this exclusive white hoodie...LOL. I recently signed up for a Spotify Premium trial. I was able to find the hoodie through the app, but I kept getting an error when trying to order it. I tried multiple sizes since the error was similar to an out of stock error. I finally emailed their support and they said it's an issue with the listing and they'll forward it to the technical team to look at. Hopefully I can order it at some point. I don't like black hoodies or t-shirts since I have multiple cats and I'll be forever trying to get the cat hair out. I was thrilled to see it in white, and I now I can't order it.

What country are you in? I got an “out of area” error so I’m not sure if it’s for Brits only or not. I want the white hoodie because black fades too much. I got a concert t with the first five album covers on it from 1992. I’ve barely worn it, and it’s faded. I just tried again. I got a shipping error. I put in my mother’s address, same issue.

I'm in the US. I first tried the link I saw on someone's social media and on that website I got an error saying it couldn't be shipped to my address. The website I used through Spotify told me it's unavaible, kind of link an "out of stock" error. Yeah, black for me is a no-go because of pets. I just can't deal with always worrying if the cat hair is visible. LOL

I've only got the Walmart version I preordered. Had to go to target to buy in store and cancel pre order as its delayed until June 17th. Can't wait for my tape.
I would like an 8 track of DSH. Ha

Nice! Are we thinking that signed insert is the same as what we'll get with the talk live Signed CD? That seemed to be what they were signing in the promo video I think.

I was about to post the same review. While I disagree with a few of the takes it’s one of the best reviews out there for the album by a couple of guys who are clearly big fans.

Can we acknowledge how good Sav's bass sounds on this album? Not sure if it's just me, but it seems far more prevalent in the mix than previous Leppard releases. It cuts through beautifully on tunes like 'Liquid Dust', 'U Rok Mi' and 'All We Need'. If anybody here is into Extreme you're probably familiar with the amazing bass sound of Pat Badger. There isn't many "best of" categories that Def Leppard don't win for me, but the Best Bass Sound award has always gone to Extreme. I'm hearing a lot of that Pat Badger sound on DSH. Particularly U Rok Mi and the outro on All We Need. Love it.

Been playing it a lot over the weekend & whilst a mostly enjoyable record I feel it's too long with too much filler. Could easily be a 10-12 track album with mostly balls out rockers. None of the ballads match the greatness of Hysteria and the album on a whole just seems to lack something for me. That being said I am very glad to have the album and watching footage of the Whisky show proves how strong some of the new tracks are and how tight the band are.

Yeah good to hear, although they are obviously wrong about Liquid Dust Awesome to see though, and think I will definitely check out some of their takes on spirits!

I have them on my Spotify. Good band.

In the interview in Vulture ( rockbrigade.proboards.com/thread/7677/print-interview-joe-vulture-24may2022 ) Joe got asked about the best Def Leppard song and he said it's probably on the new album. And then said that before DSH it was Gods of War. I've got a feeling that Joe's pick for all time best DL song is Angels (Can't Help You Now). I think it's a great song, by the way! Which song do you think is his pick?

Which song do you think is his pick? Good call on Angels. GGFG would be my guess, but suspect you are right.

So it seems like I’ve made a mistake, ordered the regular album with 15 tracks, a U.K. deluxe version and a Japanese deluxe version. But both the deluxe versions have the same bonus tracks (goodbye for good - avant garde mix and Lifeless Joe only). Which was the deluxe version that had the other bonus tracks on it?

Possibly over time Goodbye for Good This Time will become my favorite Leppard ballad of all time. What a brilliant piece of songwriting, possibly my all time favorite Collen solo and a subject that is very relatable.

The Japanese deluxe (colorized cover) is the same deluxe as the rest of the world (Goodbye For Good/Lifeless). The Japanese standard (black & white cover) has the alternate bonus tracks (Angels/This Guitar).

Sadley was not able to cancel one from the UK, 2min after order, as saw fine print of UK only for drumhead.

UK sales chart info: "Meanwhile, Def Leppard’s twelfth studio album Diamond Star Halos is on track to give them their first Top 5 album in 26 years. Should it hold on to its Number 4 midweek position, it’ll prove the Sheffield rockers’ highest-charting album since 1996 record Slang (5). "

Wow!
I remember Def Leppard was in the top 10 midweek and ended up 11th, so obviously no guarantee, but honestly, even a top 10 album would be fantastic.
