August 3, 1987 — Def Leppard released their fourth full-length studio album, Hysteria via Mercury Records. (Apple Music or Spotify)
It is Def Leppard's best-selling album to date, selling over 20 million copies worldwide, including 12 million in the US, and spawning seven hit singles. The album charted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart.
Hysteria was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC). The title of the album was thought up by drummer Rick Allen, referring to his 1984 car accident, the amputation of his arm, and the ensuing worldwide media coverage surrounding it. It is the last album to feature guitarist Steve Clark before his death, although songs co-written by him would appear on the band's next album, Adrenalize.
The album is the follow-up to the band's 1983 breakthrough Pyromania. Hysteria's creation took over three years and was plagued by delays, including the aftermath of drummer Rick Allen's accident that cost him his left arm on December 31, 1984.
Subsequent to the album's release, Def Leppard published a book titled Animal Instinct: The Def Leppard Story, written by Rolling Stone magazine senior editor David Fricke, on the three-year recording process of Hysteria and the tough times the band endured through the mid-1980s.
Lasting 62 minutes and 32 seconds, the album is the band's longest to date.
Background:
Initially, Hysteria was to be named Animal Instinct and produced by Lange, but he dropped out after pre-production sessions, citing exhaustion from a gruelling schedule from the past few years. Meat Loaf songwriter Jim Steinman was brought in, but Steinman's intention to make a raw-sounding record that captured the moment conflicted with the band's interest in creating a bigger, more pristine Pop production. Joe Elliot later stated in an interview: "𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚍 𝚁𝚞𝚗𝚍𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚗 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚌𝚎𝚍 (𝙼𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝙻𝚘𝚊𝚏‘𝚜) 𝙱𝚊𝚝 𝙾𝚞𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕. 𝙹𝚒𝚖 𝚂𝚝𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚎 𝚒𝚝".
Sessions with Steinman began at Wisseloord Studios on August 11, 1984, with Neil Dorfsman as engineer. However, the social divide and conflict in visions of the album between both the band and Steinman became problematic during the sessions, the latter being more into theatrical ideas which did not sit well with the group. By mid-October 1984, Steinman was ousted from the project, along with Dorfsman. Dorfsman would go on to mention they “𝚋𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚍𝚛𝚞𝚖𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚘𝚗 𝚜𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚐𝚜” - he'd fly straight from Holland to Montserrat to produce Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms album.
After parting ways with Steinman, the band tried to produce the album themselves with Lange's engineer Nigel Green with no success, and initial recording sessions were entirely scrapped. As previously mentioned, on December 31, 1984, Rick Allen lost his left arm when his Corvette flipped off a country road. Following the accident, the band stood by Allen's decision to return to the drum kit despite his disability, using a combination electronic/acoustic kit with a set of electronic pedals that triggered (via MIDI) the sounds that he would have played with his left arm.
The band slowly continued production until Lange unexpectedly returned a year later, and Allen mastered his customised drum kit. However, the sessions were further delayed by Lange's own auto accident (sustaining leg injuries from which he quickly recovered) and a bout of the mumps suffered by singer Joe Elliott in 1986.
The final recording sessions took place in January 1987 for the song Armageddon It (watch video) and a last-minute composition Pour Some Sugar on Me (watch video version 1), though Lange spent another three months mixing the tracks.
The album was finally released worldwide on August 3, 1987, with Animal (watch video) as the lead single in most countries except for the US and Canada where Women (watch video) was the first single.
The Concept Behind Hysteria:
The album's goal, set out by Lange, was to be a Hard Rock version of Michael Jackson's Thriller, in that every track was a potential hit single. Songs were therefore written with this concept in mind, disappointing Heavy Metal fans who clamored for a straight sequel to Pyromania. One song, Love Bites (watch video), was already mostly written in the vein of a country ballad by Mutt Lange when he brought it to the band's attention.
While Pyromania contained traces of Def Leppard's original traditional Heavy Metal sound found on their first two albums, Hysteria removed them in favor of the latest sonic technology available at the time (best displayed on Rocket (watch video), Love Bites, Excitable, and Gods of War).
As with Pyromania, every song was recorded by every member in the studio separately instead of the whole band. The multiple vocal harmonies were enhanced by Lange's techniques, even pitching background vocals on all tracks. Guitar parts were now focused more on emphasising melody than Hard Rock's more basic and clichéd riffs.
The band used the Rockman amplifier, developed by guitarist Tom Scholz from the band Boston, to record the album. Engineer Mike Shipley described the Rockman as "𝚊 𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚘𝚡" with "𝚊 𝚐𝚘𝚍𝚊𝚠𝚏𝚞𝚕 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍" that "𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚗𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕 𝚋𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝚒𝚝", but it was used because the other amplifiers used had an excessively "𝚌𝚛𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚢" sound ill-suited to layering guitars and which Lange did not think was "𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚌𝚒𝚊𝚕" enough.
In addition, all of the album's drum sounds were samples recorded by Lange and the engineers, then played from the Fairlight CMI.
In a 1999 interview with Mix Magazine, Shipley noted, "𝙿𝚢𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚊 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚢, 𝚘𝚗 𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚎𝚜𝚢 𝟾-𝚋𝚒𝚝 𝙵𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚎𝚌𝚑𝚗𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚐𝚢 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚐𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚏 𝚜𝚙𝚎𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙵𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚒𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚒𝚝, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚠𝚎‘𝚍 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚞𝚙 𝚊 𝚋𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚑 𝚘𝚏 𝚜𝚗𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚋𝚊𝚜𝚜 𝚍𝚛𝚞𝚖𝚜."
Shipley also noted that the drum sounds were dealt with last because each song's structure could change so radically, and because of technical difficulties. This unique approach sometimes led to painstaking lengths of time in the recording studio.
The smash single, Pour Some Sugar on Me (watch video version 2), was the last song written but was quickly finished within two weeks. In sharp contrast, the final version of Animal took almost a full three years to be developed but was not as successful as other singles despite reaching No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Commercial Performance:
David Simone, managing director of Phonogram Records at the time, said the album might have been the most expensive record made in the U.K. According to guitarist Phil Collen, the album had to sell a minimum of 5 million copies to break even.
The popularity of Def Leppard in their homeland had significantly grown over the previous four years, and Hysteria (watch title track video) topped the charts in Britain in its first week of release. The album was also a major success in other parts of Europe.
In the US, however, the band initially struggled to regain the momentum of Pyromania that was lost from such a prolonged absence. The leadoff track, Women, was selected as the first single for the US and Canada, instead of Animal, in July 1987. Then-manager Cliff Burnstein reasoned that the band needed to reconnect with their Hard Rock audience first before issuing more Top 40-friendly singles. Women became a Top 10 hit on the Rock chart, peaking at No. 7, but as predicted, did not make a large impact on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 80.
The success of the album's fourth single, Pour Some Sugar on Me would propel the album to the top of the US Billboard 200 albums chart on July 23, 1988, nearly a year after its release - topping the chart three separate times for a combined total of six weeks.
Seven singles were eventually released in the United States, with Love Bites reaching No. 1, and three others reaching the Top 10.
The singles earned similar success in the United Kingdom. In the Billboard issue dated October 8, 1988, Def Leppard held the No. 1 spot on both the singles and album charts with Love Bites and Hysteria, respectively.
Hysteria went on to dominate album charts around the world for three years. It was certified 12× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2009. The album currently sits as the 51st best selling album of all time in the US. It spent 96 weeks in the US Top 40, a record for the 1980s, tying with Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. The album has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
Speaking to Kerrang! in May 2008 about the album's success, Joe Elliott remembered;
“𝙵𝚘𝚛 𝚞𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚞𝚖 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚎, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝚘𝚏 𝚠𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚍 𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚞𝚖 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝙰𝚖𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚊 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝚒𝚗 𝙴𝚗𝚐𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚒𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚗𝚘 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚛𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚘-𝚠𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚎 𝚍𝚒𝚍 𝙷𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚊, 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚏𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎.

On October 24, 2006, a 2-CD "𝚍𝚎𝚕𝚞𝚡𝚎 𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗" of the album was released, including a remastering of the original B-sides and bonus tracks from the album's period. These songs include Tear It Down, I Wanna Be Your Hero, Ride Into The Sun (originally released in 1979 on The Def Leppard E.P.) and Ring of Fire. Many of these songs, alongside two other Hysteria compositions Desert Song and Fractured Love, had been featured on Retro Active, albeit with remixes, revamps, and new parts added. The deluxe edition Hysteria deluxe CD included the original B-side versions of these recordings without alterations.
Another song, Tonight was originally recorded on May 5, 1988 during a break in the Hysteria World Tour” as a possible B-side to one of the album's upcoming singles. The song was shelved and later re-recorded for the Adrenalize album. The 1988 demo version, which includes Steve Clark on guitar, was eventually released on various CD singles, album deluxe editions and box sets.
Finally, a very tongue in cheek cover of Release Me which was made famous by Engelbert Humperdinck in 1967 was released as a B-side under the guise of Stumpus Maximus and the Good Ol' Boys. Stumpus Maximus was Malvin Mortimer, a member of the band's road crew and later became their tour manager. The Good Ol' Boys were the members of Def Leppard, singing backup on what is essentially a parody version of the song.
During their March 22 to April 10, 2013 residency at The Joint, Def Leppard performed the album in its entirety, from start to finish. This was followed up with a live album Viva! Hysteria, recorded during the residency and released on October 22, 2013, which includes all of band's fourth studio album being played live.
This would be followed up seven years later as Hysteria: Live at the O2 was released on May 29, 2020, as part of the London to Vegas box set. The live concert was filmed at The O2 Arena in London, England on December 6, 2018, as the band once again played the album in its entirety. Various releases have included a stand-alone edition of this concert have featured combinations of audio, DVD and blu-ray discs.
In the liner notes to the album, the band apologized for the long wait between albums, and promised to never force fans to wait that long between albums again. However, later events, particularly the death of lead guitarist Steve Clark, delayed the next album, Adrenalize, by almost five years.
Critical Reception:
Hysteria received generally positive reviews. AllMusic's Steve Huey awarded it five stars, stating, "𝙿𝚢𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚊‘𝚜 𝚜𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚔, 𝚕𝚊𝚢𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍 𝙼𝚞𝚝𝚝 𝙻𝚊𝚗𝚐𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗𝚎𝚍 𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚘 𝚊 𝚙𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚋𝚜𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚍𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚌 𝚍𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚕 𝚘𝚗 𝙷𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚊, 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚌𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚜 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍 𝚊𝚜 𝚊 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚏𝚏, 𝚖𝚎𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚣𝚎𝚍 𝙿𝚘𝚙 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚕-𝚘𝚗𝚝 (𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚜 𝚍𝚞𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚁𝚒𝚌𝚔 𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗‘𝚜 𝚗𝚎𝚠, 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚒𝚌 𝚍𝚛𝚞𝚖 𝚔𝚒𝚝)." Huey characterized the album as "𝙿𝚘𝚙 𝙼𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕" rather than Heavy Metal, with reference to the production of Mutt Lange, and called it "𝚊𝚛𝚐𝚞𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙿𝚘𝚙-𝙼𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕 𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚞𝚖 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚍."
In 2005, Hysteria was ranked No. 464 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.
Hysteria got the same placement on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 best albums of all time, the magazine also ranked the album atop its list of the 50 greatest Hair Metal albums, and they placed the album on their list of 50 Rock Albums Every Country Fan Should Own.
Loudwire placed the album at No. 2 on their list of the Top 30 Hair Metal albums.
Hysteria was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
LA Weekly and Consequence of Sound (now Consequence.com) both ranked the album No. 8 on their Hair Metal album lists.
Metal-Rules.com put the album on their list of the Top 50 Glam Metal Albums, at No. 30.
The Ringer called Hysteria "𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙷𝚊𝚒𝚛 𝙼𝚎𝚝𝚊𝚕 𝚊𝚕𝚋𝚞𝚖 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝚖𝚊𝚍𝚎".
"𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚜𝚊𝚢 𝚘𝚋𝚓𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚟𝚎𝚕𝚢 – 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚊𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝙸 𝚠𝚊𝚜𝚗‘𝚝 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚗 – 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙷𝚢𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚊 𝚒𝚜 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚘𝚏 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎," remarked Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell.
