I like this CD a lot! The "Promises" video is just awesome. Go buy it!

MY REVIEW IS THAT THIS BAND ROCKS!!!
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT EVERY ALBUM OR SINGLE RELEASED THIS BAND STICKS TO BEING A BAND THAT THEY ARE... AND 1 MORE THING TO
ADD TO THIS REVIEW THIS BAND IS NO#. 1 NO MATTER WHAT AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!! CHRIS PORTER / SCOOTER!!!!

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.

This might be part 2 (usual method in the UK) of the CD single, which I just got. If so, it has "Back in Your Face", "Promises", and the obscure "Worlds Collide". Mine is the UK import, which just may be what you see here. The other part has the video and album snippets from "Euphoria". New CD coming soon! This'll tide you over!

Def Leppard hasn't lost their touch! Great Single!
