Their 10th Studio album, released to stores today!  If you haven't heard it yet, I highly recommend it.  Just be warned, if you're looking for another "-ia" sounding album, this isn't it.  This album definitely has a modern pop-rock sound to it.  Very enjoyable, fresh sound for them.  Here's the lyrics to what will probably be the biggest song on the album, "Long Long Way To Go":

You held my hand and then you slipped away
And I may never see your face again
So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside
Without love, what is life?
And anyone who knew us both can see
We always were the better part of me
I never wanted to be this free
And all this pain, when does it go away?

Then everytime I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew, to you
To you

From memory there is no hiding place
Turn on the TV and I see you there
In every crowd there's always someone with your face
Everywhere, trying not to care

Then everytime I turn around
And you're nowhere to be found
I know

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
I gotta long long way I know
Before I can say goodbye
To all I ever knew

To you I wish you everything
And all the best that life can bring
I only hope you think of me sometimes
Oh, and even though I feel the pain
I know that I will love again
The time will come
Oh, and I'll move on

I gotta long long way to go
Before I can say goodbye to you
Oh, I gotta long long way I know
Gotta long way to go
Before I can say goodbye
Before I say goodbye
To all I ever knew
To all I ever knew
I gotta long way to go
Before I say
Say goodbye, say goodbye
But I wish you the best girl
Oh and all of the rest to you




*On a personal note, although I know this song is about breaking up with someone and not being able to let go, the lyrics remind me of my Father-in-Law, who passed away last week.  He was really loved by everyone, and will be deeply missed by myself, my children, and his family and friends.  We love you Rod, and we have a Long Long Way To Go before we can say goodbye to you...

Any new material from Def Leppard is a major reason to celebrate! Yahoo!!! Thanks for the heads up, ThunderVamp!!!  :)

"Long long way to go" is such a beautiful song.  The whole album is great---Def Leppard doesn't disappoint.  

Oh..TV9...so so sorry to hear about "Rod"....you and all your family and friends are in my heart and prayers.... :'( :-[

I hate to be a downer.. but I listened to the album online, and well.. I wasn't impressed.. certainly nice to see them still together, but not a great album.. I haven't really liked anything they did since Hysteria though..

So sorry to hear about Rod  :'(  I lost my own father 11 years ago in a tragic motorcycle accident.  It gets better!  Anyway, I'm a huge Def Leppard fan, in fact I'm a teacher at a summer camp and we did "slam books", and as my favorite group I listed Def Leppard!

;D Just picked it up Saturday. It's a good C.D. Definitely not a Rocking C.D. but I like it anyway. I liked everysong the first time.
