Editorial Review:
While many of their peers were abandoning '70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era's music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK's new metal revival and one of the '80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, platinum-selling prime, though the inclusion of the video edit/remixes of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "Rocket" attempts to cast them in a more club-friendly contemporary groove. But the grittier second disc showcases some of the early, overlooked roots of On Through the Night and High 'N' Dry, as well as underappreciated later gems like '99's "Promises" and a power-pop-perfect take on Badfinger's "No Matter What" from an upcoming covers project. --Jerry McCulley
Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection Reviews:
love it, love it, love it!!!!! 
2009-09-30 - If you were a child of the 80's, this band will take you right back there.... This is by far the best selection of DL hits I've come across.
Awesome Album!
2009-08-21 - I think that this is by far, the best Def Leppard Greatest Hits collection ever!
Pleased with Purchase 
2009-06-23 - I ordered the disk on May 15th. It should have arrived by June 9th however the disc got lost in the mail. I was able to get in touch with new world brokers and they sent me another CD immediately which arrived in a 2 week time spans. They were very courteous and made sure that I got my order and was happy with the purchase. I will definitely do business with them again. It's not their fault that the US postal service lost my disc plus they made sure I got my order or were willing to credit the purchase back to me. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel that they are a good company to use in the future with wonderful prices. For all of those Def Leppard Fans this is the disc for you. It has all the best Def Leppard songs plus new ones. You can't go wrong with this purchase. It combines all of there discs into one well actually it is a 2 disc collection.
Def Leppard Rocks!
2009-06-12 - This cd set put together the best songs they've ever made. Truely a classic for Def Leppard fans!
Not great but not bad 
2009-05-30 - I am a nostalgic and was looking forward to listening to some songs that I grew up with. There are great songs in this set but find myself having to skip through one or two songs at a time to get to the songs that I really want to hear. It is a 2-disc set that should have been done with 1 disc.
