Transcription

Artwork

The accompanying booklet contains photographs of the band members recreating classic images from 1970s album art.

There are also four group photographs in the CD booklet – on the cover, the centre, inside back cover and the back cover.

Reception

Rating the album 4.5 out of 5, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised Yeah! as the band's best effort since Hysteria, noting how the band "no longer sound as slick and calculated as they did on their albums after Hysteria; they sound alive and vigorous, making a convincing case that they're now their own best producers." Erlewine concluded that "few bands could achieve an artistic comeback via a covers album, but as this glorious record proves, there are few bands like Def Leppard."[5]

In a 3 out of 5 review, Andy Greene of Rolling Stone wrote that Yeah! was the band's "most convincing album in fourteen years", citing "Rock On" and "Stay With Me" as highlights. He concluded by saying that "none of the arrangements veer far from the originals, but they don't need to - it's good enough to just hear the band having fun and to see where all the Hysteria came from."[6]
