Earthshaker vs High N Dry

[eaglesfan3000]

Man after hearing Y&T's Earthshaker disc it reminded me a lot of Def Leppard's High N Dry which brings me to this poll. Which do you like better?

High N Dry is a good album but Earthshaker kicks some major ass and the production on this album is just right in your face.

[heaven&hell]

It's tough to pick a fav out of these two but with High N Dry being my fav Leppard album and Earthshaker being probably my 3rd fav Y&T album I gotta go with High N Dry.

but Earthshaker still wins by a fair way IMO

I need to hear 'Earthshaker' again to decide. I'll be the lone horse here, but neither of these albums really do anything much for me. 'High n' dry' is a good disc, but one of my least favourite Def Leppard discs, and same goes for 'Earthshaker'. Solid hard rock disc, but not exactly amazing, imo. I'm leaning towards 'High N' Dry' but another listen is required.

Oh boy, to choose here!. Both excellent with brilliant songs, but if I had to choose then 'Earthshaker', basically 'cos it kicks major ass and is still one, if not the best of Y&T's best releases. Nothing should be taken away from 'High 'n' Dry' though, as it is rock solid all the way thorough and after 'Pyro', my fave Lepp disc.

I also went with Earthshaker but not by much.

[cdjunky41]

It was close, but I picked H 'N' D..

 

The best Leppard album to date...

[Faron]

Both albums are great but Earthshaker for me is classic status

[Rockposer]

Easy choice - Earthshaker

You're not the lone horse, buddy, there are two of us (still, no mating will be taking place). Neither album is anything special, and neither resides in my collection, but between the two, I would pick "High N' Dry" over "Earthshaker." But really, why bother, when there are about ten thousand better albums out there to listen to.

...and just when I thought I had you figured out, you throw me a curve.

To know me is to love me, and I refuse to be loved, hence the curves.

Earthshaker...by a whisker, High and Dry is my favourite Leps album.

[Clutch]

It was close, but I picked H 'N' D..

 

The best Leppard album to date...

 

I agree on both counts. I actually really like both of them.

[eaglesfan3000]

Is it me or are these albums very similar, as far as the production and the sound goes

[stubul]

High&Dry gets my vote easily; Earthshaker is a great album, High&Dry is godly, the top album of 1981.

 

imo High&Dry>Warning's 1st album>Fire Down Under>Earthshaker(all of them from 81, all of them great hard rock albums)

[shotgun messiah]

I prefer the album High n Dry,but both albums are really great!
