Def Leppard
In response to the rise of alternative rock, the band traded drum machines for a gritty, human feel. This shift resulted in a darker, more introspective songwriting style that stands out from their stadium-filling past.
By using live instruments, the group successfully changed their sound. This project serves as a departure from the production standards that defined their previous decade, favoring a more immediate and stripped-back atmosphere.
