Phil Collen April 2013
Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen was recently interviewed by WRAT 95.9 radio and talked about the new album title.
Phil says it was he who suggested the band call the album DEF LEPPARD.
A title which was first revealed back in March on the UK tour promo poster.
You'll notice the linked article refers to the album as a "12 song set". This is probably due to Phil's usual line of "we went in and came out with 12 songs". Joe and Vivian have both said repeatedly it is a 14 track album (as Phil has done many times too).
Listen to a short clip of the interview via the link. The full quote from the 33 second audio clip is shown below.

WRAT 95.9 - Phil Collen Interview Quote
Def Leppard Studio Album
"We started writing all these stupid names down like we normally do, and I said, 'Why don't we call it 'Def Leppard' 'cause this is like, who knows if there will be another Def Leppard album, per se, with the way the industry is, and the fact that this record actually represents us. It doesn't represent someone else's, you know, a label, a business agenda or anything else's idea of what Def Leppard is. This is actually Def Leppard's version of Def Leppard. That's actually why we called it it."
