The album was a shift away from the band's traditional <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">heavy metal</a> roots toward a more radio-friendly sound, finding massive mainstream success. Pyromania charted at No. 2 on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_200" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Billboard 200</a>, No. 4 on the Canadian RPM Album chart, and No. 18 on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Albums_Chart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">UK Albums Chart</a>.

Collen remembered. "Pete and Steve [Clark] had done these amazing rhythm guitar beds, and it was a joy to whizz around and play solos over the top... Mutt [Lange] was going, 'Just have fun: be a lead guitarist, go nuts." On the original LP release, Willis is visible in the background of the photograph of singer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Elliott" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Joe Elliott</a>, while Collen has his own photo as a new full-time member."<img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sljbRFoAKrQ/maxresdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEmCIAKENAF8quKqQMa8AEB-AH-CYAC0AWKAgwIABABGHIgTyhGMA8=&rs=AOn4CLCkNPBGwutl4nrFxjSt_Md8ul_eTQ" alt="Def Leppard - 15 - Stagefright (Bordeaux - 1983) - YouTube">"The album, "Pyromania" can be seen as a transitional one between the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">heavy metal</a> sound of Leppard's first two albums and the radio-friendly direction of later releases.
