The album includes a limited-edition custom PikCARD, which unlocks the DEF LEPPARD online "Vault" (named after the band's best-selling greatest-hits CD). Inside the "Vault", DEF LEPPARD fans have exclusive access to a variety of content, contests and memorabilia, featuring highlights such as personal photos from the road, registration to the band's fan club, entry into an exclusive contest to win backstage passes and VIP access the next time DEF LEPPARD comes to the winner's town, new album lyrics — handwritten by Joe Elliott — and a personal messages from the band.

no one wants to hear a good Def Leppard album more than me. so i gave this every chance possible.

but, man, this album blows. even when they try to rock it just comes off as fake.

the vocal situation is terrible. the background vocals are still the same, but Elliot's lead vocal is just a neutered shell of it's former self. it's so wimpy and uninspired sounding. smoking cigarettes really cost this guy his pipes.
