Def Leppard have a huge chip on their shoulder about being lumped in 
with the U.K. and U.S. hair-metal bands of the Eighties. To set the 
record straight, they've recorded this album of covers of songs by their 
real heroes: people like David Bowie, T.Rex and the Kinks, as well as 
lesser-known Seventies rockers such as Sweet and John Kongos. Happily, 
Yeah! is their most convincing album in fourteen years, which proves 
their point. Standout tracks include a straightforward cover of David 
Essex's "Rock On" and an amped-up take on the Faces' "Stay With Me," in 
which Phil Collen seems to conjure Rod Stewart. The only real misstep is 
a flat rendition of Blondie's "Hanging on the Telephone" (coincidentally 
the only American group on the album). None of the arrangements veer far 
from the originals, but they don't need to - it's good enough to just 
hear the band having fun and to see where all the Hysteria came from.
