At the outset, we represent a good spectrum of views: Wolfie is 100% no opinion on the album; Scott leans more positive but is in the middle and has some dislikes; and Chaz is … appreciative as a student of Edward Van Halen, and empathetic to his artistic cause, but not a big fan of the final output overall. To put it mildly. How Many Say Why is all they could be heard muttering to themselves, in a sea-shanty sort of sway. How Many Say Why?

Joe Elliott goes full falsetto crooner over a groove that sounds more R&B than Daryl Hall going to his \"special place\". Some of us hear a tender ballad, others hear the band wandering into karaoke night at the wrong pub. Just to make things messier, we spin the rough mix — and suddenly the track takes a turn for demo hell, raising questions about what the band (and producer Pete Woodroffe, whose résumé gets its own hilarious breakdown) thought they were chasing...clearly they were trying to tickle Kevin Brown's berries.This episode features:🎤 Chaz trying to defend Joe’s vocal tightrope walk while the rest of us squirm🍗 Duane’s live taste test of pumpkin-spice wings, because apparently Slang isn’t weird enough already📀 A blow-by-blow of the rough mix vs. album cut, and whether either version actually lands🧾 The Pete Woodroffe résumé conversation you didn’t know you needed (boy bands and girl groups pay attention!)🤔 The inevitable debate: hidden gem or bathroom break? Hidden throughout: off-mic laughs, tangents about mullets and Spotify bots, and a few moments where even we admit Def Leppard may have reached too far.Special Bonus: A detour into Boys Night Out — a digression that adds yet another layer of WTF to the Slang era.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who's just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.)
