Diamond Star Halos

A sprawling tribute to 70s glam rock. Massive vocal stacks meet unexpected country-folk flourishes and cinematic ballads for a celebratory late-career peak.

It's like they took their 80s stadium sound and dipped it in 70s glitter and a little bit of country dust.

A celebratory and expansive late-career victory lap that balances stadium-sized swagger with nostalgic warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the massive glam-stomp beat of Kick that feels like a direct portal to 1972

Alison Krauss's bluegrass-tinged vocals blending into the signature Leppard wall of sound on Lifeless

the soaring piano and string arrangement on Goodbye for Good This Time that breaks the hard rock mold
