"Adrenalize" is the seventh studio album by British rock band Def Leppard, released on March 31, 1992, under the label UMC (Universal Music Catalogue). This album marks a significant comeback for the band after the tragic loss of their drummer, Rick Allen's, arm in a car accident. Despite this setback, Def Leppard delivered a powerful and energetic collection of tracks that solidified their status as glam metal icons.
The album opens with the high-octane title track "Let's Get Rocked," setting the tone for the rest of the record.
