JazMay 21, 2008I love Def Leppard & "Go" is a great opener, Nine Lives is good....but they need Mutt Lange to bring back the "Hysteria" - maybe he will have time now since he (Mutt) is getting a divorce.

bryanw.May 20, 2008Very surprised....it was really good listening....some tunes reminded me of Hsteria. The song with Mcgraw and the ballad are lousy.....but the rest is great...highly reccomended!!! After getting hopes up and purchasing x years back, i was very skeptical...but this is really good stuff!!

DanM.Jun 29, 2008The more I listen to this new album, the more I like it! Some good rockin tunes to crank up on the stereo. Cruise Control is awesome, even though it is a different sounding Lep track. Only the good die young, C'mon C'mon & Go are all good head moving, toe tapping tunes. Can't wait to see Lep live herein NZ in November!!!

It's a partially successful successor to "Yeah!," following through on some of the overall feel and punch but lacking enough songs to truly bring it across the goal line.
-
The band's first new set since 2002 is full of these well-intentioned attempts to recapture some of that '80s pyromania (or in the case of the absurdly large power ballad 'Love,' herculean '70s prog-rock balladry), but without producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, who left for the much more profitable world of country years ago, the results are solid if unspectacular.

While they must know they won’t be reinventing the wheel any time soon, Sparkle Lounge is their most upbeat music in a while.
