I always loved this album cover. A truck "flying" around the moon and carrying a giant electric guitar... It really rocks!

Young and Raw - That's how I describe DL during the OTTN era..."The Overture" is a masterpiece...and "Wasted" has one of the best riffs ever.

I have this album & I give it a 5/10. This album is still pretty good for 5 teenagers to put together. Im 13 years old & DEF LEPPARD is my F-F-F-AVORITE BAND. I have ALL their albums except The Def Leppard E.P & Im trying to get that one.

There's always something about debut albums. I'm not sure what it is, but On Through The Night is amazing!

About my comment up there I did NOT mean I didn't like the album. I love the album. I love all of thier albums. On Through The Night is great. Just like the other ones.
