On Slang they tried to be something they
, August 21, 2001Reviewer: wastednite2 - See all wastednite2's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Euphoria review helpful On this album they're a lot closer to what they are. A band that makes songs with great hooks and doesn't make you want to kill yourself at the end of the album. A rare find these days considering all the other "rock stars" who are at the top right now can't admit they're loving life on top....for now. -
Def Lep!!!
, June 1, 2002Reviewer:
Mike - See all Mike's reviews After the more experimental Slang, Leppard returned to their polished over produced pop metal sound. Yeah it's cheesy but it's fun isn't it? Listening to this brought me back to high school when we used to cruise around in my old beater with Hysteria cranked up, although this probably sounds closer to Adrenalize.
Promises, Paper Sun, Goodbye, Kings of Oblivion.....all great tunes. The Def Lep layered vocals are back in abundance. The boys are looking a little old these days but they're still putting out great stuff. ...

Pro Reviews: Euphoria
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Even though Slang successfully revitalized Def Leppard, it didn't become a huge hit, which was a disappointment, considering that the band adjusted their sound to fit the times. Taking that into account, Def Leppard set out to make a classic Def Leppard album with Slang's successor, Euphoria. And, surprisingly, that's exactly what they've delivered. From the outset, it's clear that Euphoria finds the band returning to the glam-inflected, unabashedly catchy, arena-ready pop-metal that made them stars -- and it's also clear that they're not concerned with having a hit, they just want to make a good record. For them, that means returning to the pop-metal formula that made Pyromania and Hysteria blockbusters, even if they must know that this signature sound no longer guarantees a hit at the close of the '90s. It is true that this approach means Euphoria sounds out of time in 1999, but it's a tight, attractive album with more than its share of big hooks, strong riffs, and memorable melodies. There are a couple of slow moments here and there, but no more than those on Hysteria, and the best songs (particularly the opening triptych of "Demoltion Man," "Promises," "Back in Your Face," plus the jangly Beatles-esque "21st Century Sha-La-La Girl") are worthy additions to an already strong catalog. But what's best about Euphoria is that it's utterly not self-conscious. Def Leppard feels free to try straight pop, appropriate Gary Glitter riffs, or play straight metal, without caring whether it's hip or commercial. That doesn't mean Euphoria is a classic, but it does mean that it's their most appealing effort in over a decade. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Def Leppard Biography
Def Leppard, in many ways, was the definitive hard rock band of the '80s. There were many bands that rocked harder, and were more dangerous, than the Sheffield quintet, but few others captured the spirit of the times quite as well. Emerging in the la...Full Def Leppard Biography
