Welcome back to Season 4 of the Regarding…Series of podcasts, the fan-based critical evaluation podcast where we listen to albums that require real effort to get through. Albums where the artists need their fans to invest a little more than a casual listen to comprehend or even mildly appreciate what they were trying to achieve.This season, your hosts Chaz Charles, Greg “Wolfie” Wolfe, and Scott D. Monroe and joined by CMPU podcasting legend Corey Morrissette as cohost for the dive headfirst into Def Leppard’s most polarizing release: Slang.Episode 1: Truth?This season opener is equal parts nostalgic concert chatter, honest critique, and therapy session for fans who’ve followed Leppard through more "Eras" than Taylor Swift. The boys spend time getting Wolfie up to speed on the Leppard sound, and why this record was such a departure from what fans were expecting from the 5 lads from Sheffield in 1996. Has it aged well? Is it stuck in time? Is there anything redeeming here? It was a tough time for the guys, does the work hold up as a statement to artistic integrity or a swing and a miss that ushered in a new era and reality for the band.Join us as we roll into Season 4 with sitar loops, heatwaves in Saskatchewan, and the humble realization that after four seasons of this show… we’re still finding things to appreciate about these elusive works that would otherwise have turned to dust in our collections.The ShowThree guys who are various stages of Def Leppard fans, and a guy who’s just heard the hits (maybe...some of them.) Join the guys over a plate of Buffalo Chicken Wings as they give Def Leppard’s 1996 album Slang and honest listen and try to figure out just what the hell “Slang” means anyways. Is it too late for love or can we work it out to find a way to get Slang the love and affection it deserves? Listen as we listen so you don’t have to, and discover for yourself. Proudly sponsored by podcastle.ai and fourstringmedia, not by Romney's Everest Kendal Mints or Buffalo Chicken Wings in general. Do you like Def Leppard? We like Def Leppard.
