I agree but it's so close in sound that it just keeps bugging me. It's not like just the style is the same. It's like they darn near rip off Leppard and copy the same songs. I don't want to purchase this and then regret it later. It's a harder choice than most. I really love the sound. However, I am pretty picky about "clone" bands.

This is more a clone project than it is a "pay homage with the same style" kind of band. I have enjoyed it, but I have often found myself almost starting to sing the next phrase from the Def Leppard song...that's how similar it is in places.

That's pretty much how I feel. It gets in the way from fully enjoying it, although it's probably one of the more well done Def Leppard clone bands.

Yeah right, you said that about Talon too, and still it sits on my desk, lonely and pining for you. lol!

Seriously, I think I would sell this if you want it. Just PM me and we can work it out.

If you like mid-80's Leppard, you're gonna love this. The only reason I'm willing to part with it is because I don't like some of the lyrics.

Has anyone else here purchased this album yet? I am still on the fence with this one. I am leaning towards making the purchase. Something keeps drawing me back to the music. It's too bad there isn't a little more originality here. The layered gang vocals are great but the lead vocal leaves a bit to be desired. Not that it's bad. Just not great.

There's just some of the standard "hey baby we just met let's go to bed" kinda crap on there. It doesn't bother most people, I realize, but it bothers me.

I am concerned about the copycat factor. Its pretty expensive to be a carbon copy...
