Title Note

Def Leppard: Pete Willis, Steve Clark (vocals, guitar); Rick Savage (vocals, bass); Rick Allen (vocals, drums); Joe Elliott (vocals).

Recorded at Battery Studios, London, England.

Between the time of Def Leppard's 1980 debut, ON THROUGH THE NIGHT, and the band's second album, HIGH 'N' DRY (released one year later), the young group had improved tremendously. An extended world tour had made the band musically tighter, but they'd also become better songwriters--HIGH 'N' DRY contains several tracks that longtime Leppard fans point to as classics. Another major reason for the group's vast improvement was that renowned producer Mutt Lange was involved in the proceedings.

While the album wasn't a smash hit, it faired extremely well on the U.S. charts, due to touring and a newly born cable network called MTV, which aired Def Leppard's low-budget clips from HIGH 'N' DRY quite often. Highlights included the power ballad "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" (which would soon become a concert staple for the band), as well as the album-opening anthem "Let It Go," the instrumental "Switch 625," and the rough and rocking title track. HIGH 'N' DRY was reissued in the mid-'80s with a remix of "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" and a previously unreleased track from the album's recording sessions, "Me and My Wine." The late-'90s version deleted these two extra tracks, however.

5 out of 5 stars Their Best!!, October 22, 2008
By B.C.
If you like the commercial songs of "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" you wont like "High N Dry" nor the bands debut "On Through The Night". Emerging from The New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" (NWOBHM) in the late seventies/early eighties, Def Leppard were a bunch of extremely talented teenagers, especially guitarists Steve Clark (RIP) and Pete Willis. "High N Dry" released in 1981 and the bands second effort in my opinion was their best release. The band smokes on every track and the song "Bringin On The Heartbreak" gave the band a hit thanks to its heavy video rotation on MTV. Other standouts include "Let It Go", "High N Dry (Saturday Night)", "Another Hit And Run", "Lady Strange" and On Through The Night". This cd was released prior to Ex-Girl guitarist Phil Collen joining the group replacing Pete Willis. Collen would make his debut on 1983s "Pyromania". From there the bands music became much more commercial with hits like "Photograph", "Animal", "Armageddon It", "Pour Some Sugar On Me", etc.

This wasnt Def Leppards best album, but its a great snapshot of the bands musical evolution and maturing style. "Bringin on the Heartbreak" is one of my favorite songs...Great for live shows.
