│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While you wait for Def Leppard to eventually ║ │
│║ release their new album and (probably not) ║ │
│║ return to their classic sound, melodic rock fans ║ │
│║ can feast in the delights of the new FM album, ║ │
│║ which sees the reborn British AOR legends crank ║ │
│║ the guitars further up in the mix and really ║ │
│║ hone in on that multi-layered, harmony filled, ║ │
│║ big production Def Leppard FM sound of the 80s. ║ │
│║ FM have been going long enough now that they ║ │
│║ have a big, dedicated fan base that has followed ║ │
│║ them through the 80s, into the less notable 90s ║ │
│║ and back into the light of the last several ║ │
│║ years, which has seen a true renaissance for the ║ │
│║ band. ║ │
│║ The pinnacle of their activity since reforming ║ │
│║ has to be this album. ║ │
│║ Production is huge, mix is crisp, balanced and ║ │
│║ clean and if the songs are anything go by; long ║ │
│║ standing fans are going to need extra lotion to ║ │
│║ handle the glorious melodies. ║ │
│║ And itÆs hard to say such a thing for a band ║ │
│║ thatÆs been around 30 years, if youÆve never ║ │
│║ taken FM out for a test drive this will be the ║ │
│║ album to get you started. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Digging In The Dirt is a stop-start groovy ║ │
│║ rocker; YouÆre The Best Thing About Me is a ║ │
│║ glorious anthemic AOR monster, which has to be ║ │
│║ one of the bandÆs best ever songs. Vocalist ║ │
│║ Steve Overland just gets better with age. ║ │
│║ Life Is A Highway is a simpler driving kinda ║ │
│║ tune, while Fire & Rain returns to a sultry ║ │
│║ groove. ║ │
│║ Incredible is a brilliant ballad. Aàwell, ║ │
│║ incredible ballad! ║ │
│║ Call On Me is another album highlight, a smooth, ║ │
│║ feel good, foot tapping melodic rocker with a ║ │
│║ huge chorus; Cold Hearted is a heavier Def ║ │
│║ Leppard style rocker; Shape IÆm In switches back ║ │
│║ to the feel good layered harmonies; Big Brother ║ │
│║ is a moodier, brooding rocker; while Somedays I ║ │
│║ Only Want To Rock N Roll is my one skip of the ║ │
│║ album. I just donÆt dig the lyrics or the vibe. ║ │
│║ I Want You is more Leppard harmonizing and the ║ │
│║ album closes with the immensely personal and ║ │
│║ enjoyable soulful ballad Walking With Angels. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Another year, another new FM album and yes, ║ │
│║ another triumph! Essential for those that have ║ │
│║ the 3 albums since reforming and for long time ║ │
│║ fans it goes without saying. ║ │
│║ Filled with finely produced and performed pomp ║ │
│║ and AOR, this British stalwart of the melodic ║ │
│║ scene continues to deliver without any signs of ║ │
│║ aging.s ║ │
