3.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for 'Worlds Collide', April 7, 2002

This review is from: Promises (Audio CD)

This "Part Two" CD single of "Promises" can be summed up fast: Buy it for the great and obscure "Worlds Collide" tune. "Back In Your Face" is pure cheese rock, which Def Leppard should halt altogether (see Adrenalize). Similarly, the single "Promises" is sort of half-baked compared to Leppard's past stellar material (see Pyromania).

On a more positive note, "Worlds Collide" more than makes up for the emptiness of the preceeding songs on this 3-song disc. It's got a rough guitar riff that is instantly catchy, Joe Elliott sounds up close and personal but not grating, and the typically melodic Leppard chorus does not sound over-processed, like it does on many of the songs on Euphoria. Tunes like "Worlds Collide" make me wish Leppard would get back in touch with their rawer, more genuine sounding side (see High 'N' Dry). Who knows, maybe it'll happen on future records.
