这张专辑位列《滚石》杂志盘点500张史上最好的唱片的第384位   在 Def Leppard 的以前的专辑中，人们都可以感受到乐队总是很强烈得想要作出更出色的音乐。在1983年的专辑《Pyromania》中，他们显然做到了。专辑展示乐队成员丰富的想象力。乐队加强了专辑中歌曲的流行度，通俗悦耳的旋律代替了以往繁杂的吉他 Solo，这也使得 MTV 台对专辑大播特播，更重要的是振兴了 Heavy Metal 在80年代的发展，重新又掀起了一轮重金属音乐热潮。制作人 Robert John “Mutt” Lange 的确功不可没，他用精美的鼓声和吉他音响以及多声道的合唱给乐队和乐迷带来一种全新的听觉享受。《Pyromania》专辑的推出是具有革命性的。专辑在商业上取得了前所未有的成功，竟然卖出了1000多万张，使得 Michael Jackson 无法在1983年独领风骚。不过他们在英国还是不受欢迎。 (转载自摇滚年音乐网) by Steve Huey While Def Leppard had obviously wanted to write big-sounding anthems on their previous records, Pyromania was where the band's vision coalesced and gelled into something more. More than ever before, the band's songs on Pyromania are driven by catchy, shiny melodic hooks instead of heavy guitar riffs, although the latter do pop up once in a while. But it wasn't just this newly intensified focus on melody and consistent songwriting (and heavy MTV exposure) that made Pyromania a massive success -- and the catalyst for the '80s pop-metal movement. Robert John "Mutt" Lange's buffed-to-a-sheen production -- polished drum and guitar sounds, multi-tracked layers of vocal harmonies, a general sanding of any and all musical rough edges, and a perfectionistic attention to detail -- set the style for much of the melodic hard rock that followed. It wasn't a raw or spontaneous sound, but the performances were still energetic and committed. Leppard's quest for huge, transcendent hard rock perfection on Pyromania was surprisingly successful; their reach never exceeded their grasp, which makes the album an enduring (and massively influential) classic.
