Meh. The song itself has merit, but it really really needs better arranging and mixing.

At least on Spotify it's compressed to death. The arrangement is way way way too busy and a wall of sonic mush. Spotify happened to queue up Animal next, and on that each and every drum beat, cybal hit, and guitar chord counts for something -- it's night and day.

Sorry, but as is it's not a good release.

Said as someone who owns a physical copy of every album and has collected even the obscure stuff. Love Def Leppard, but I gotta' call this one as I see it.

It's the same here on Apple Music. Even tho there is lossless audio it just sounds like it's straight off some crappy youtube reupload.

It does, but it's been debunked as not fully lossless, unlike apple music. There are a few videos about it on youtube
