On Through the Night
''On Through the Night'' is the debut album by English rock band Def Leppard, released in 1980. The album was produced by Tom Allom. It charted at No. 15 on the UK Albums Chart〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Def Leppard Official Charts )〕 and No. 51 on the ''Billboard'' 200. The album features re-recorded versions of "Rocks Off" and "Overture", tracks from the band's original independently released EP, ''The Def Leppard E.P.'' Other tracks are re-recorded versions of early demos, some of which appeared on the ''First Strike'' and ''Warchild'' bootlegs. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA on 9 May 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RIAA Searchable Database: search for "Def Leppard" )〕
"Rocks Off", "Wasted", "Hello America" and "Rock Brigade" were released as singles. However, the versions of "Rocks Off" (titled "Getcha Rocks Off") and "Wasted" that appears on the singles is a different recording from that of the LP, as is its B-side, "Hello America". The single "Getcha Rocks Off" included the songs "Ride into the Sun" and "Overture".
==Reception==
The album received mostly positive reviews.
AllMusic's Steve Huey noted that ''On Through the Night'' "established the band as one of the leading lights of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.", being "a collection of working-class hard rock anthems informed by the big, glittering hooks of glam rock." Although he stated that "it may lack the detailed production and more pop-oriented songwriting of later efforts, (...) some Leppard fans prefer this sound."〔 Canadian journalist Martin Popoff praised the album for being "one of the most polished and savvy of the NWOBHM", evoking the sound of "acts like Thin Lizzy, UFO, even Queen and Mott the Hoople." For him, ''On Through the Night'' was "a welcome breath of fresh air" among the dark, "thrashy" and "punky" music coming from the UK at the time.〔 ''Rolling Stones David Fricke reviewed the album favourably on the same wavelength, explaining that it "shows they not only respect their elders, they've taken cues from their New Wave peers, too." He also stated that "guitarists Pete Willis and Steve Clark shoot from the hip, packing their licks into tight, three-minute pop arrangements", and that lead singer Joe Elliot "wails wonderfully in a resonating tenor, fortified by backup harmonies and Tom Allom's battering-ram production." He concluded that the band displays a wisdom beyond their years" in mixing melody and heaviness, coming up with an album that "is awfully impressive for a band making its vinyl debut."〔 Sputnikmusic staff review noted that the "middle-class common-man image" of the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" movement "partially played a part in making Def Leppard one of () leaders". He also stated that the band's ambition "would never allow () to be tunnel-visioned", but he concluded that ''On Through the Night'' "can be categorized as a grower of an album since the more superficial elements that would appeal to the mainstream will initially distract some listeners from what is actually an incredibly tight musical and vocal performance."〔
