Def Leppard Euphoria CD

 EUPHORIA FOR DIE HARD FANS OF THE BEST ROCK GROUP EVER!
Def Leppard are definitely back on the right track with this album. Paper Sun and Guilty are stand out tracks and should be considered for the next single; these are the best songs delivered since the Hysteria album. On the power ballad side, Goodbye and To Be Alive are also great. The album still falls a little short of the greatness of Pyromania or Hysteria, but then again, which album doesn't?

 Great way to end the 1990's!!!
In the last year of 1990's, they wanted to bring back their original sound with a blend of 90's pop and rock! That's what they gave us here! Thogu it's not their best, it is still an awesome C.D. You won't be disappointed! It shows you that even in their late 30's and early 40's, they can still play harder than ever! "Promises" and ""To Be Alive" are my two favorites!

 Def Leppard gave us the best album of the late 90's!!!!!!
I am one of the biggest fans of Def Leppard (i've already set a review for 1992's Adrenalize) and they have still been rockin' for 26 years now! All of their albums have their own sound and style! This was their "back-to-our-roots" album, which revised the sounds of "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" mixed in with some 90's pop and rock melody!!! I was 13 (17 now) when I found the "Euphoria" tape in my mom's "junk"! I listened to it (already a fan of them at the time) and thought it was just great!!! The album starts off with the speedy rock song "Demolition Man",(5/5 stars),is a great humourous rock song to move and sing to! The next track is "Promises",(5/5 stars) is one of the greatest Def Leppard songs (and one of the world's best songs) of all time! Right when it starts off with it's killer riff, it gets you directly in the mood for the song! Great- Great- Great!!!!! The next song is "Back In Your Face" (3.5/5 stars). This song was O.K. All it really needed was a different drum sound and more distortion!!! It's just singing and drums basically (it's basically Def Leppard's version of Queen's "We Will Rock You"). Maybe since I consider it that way is why I like it! Track 4 "Goodbye" (4/5 stars) is a good ballad! A little to soon to hear a ballad on a pop album that's not even one-fourth into it's length yet, but still a good song and video! "All Night" (4/5 stars) is another good one! It's steady beat and cool chorus kind-of reminds you of "a party all night"! Track 6 "Paper Sun" (5/5 stars) is the anthem of the album! It's haunting chord-riff sets the mood for creepy song! It's about some bombings in a far-off country in 1998 that got them to write it! It's creepy from start to finish, but still has some hard-rocking breaks in the song, too! Great song! "It's Only Love" (5/5 stars) sort of puzzled me at first, and I actually don't even remember it anymore, but I do remember hearing it and thinking it was cool! "21ST Century Sha La La La Girl" (5/5 stars) is actually a great song! It's happy and friendly and the title matches great with the chorus arrangment! Closer to 4 stars, but , well, I changed my mind! "To Be Alive" (6/5 stars) is another ballad on the album... the best ballad on the album! It's not sappy and has a great loving feeling to it! It explains how you should enjoy life as it is and any time is good to be alive! I love it! "Desintigrate" (5/5 stars) is the great power-speed rock song on the album! It's just like "Switch 625" from 1981's "High'N'Dry"... all instruments, no vocals!!! Even though it was short lived, it rocks! I remember first hearing it on the tape with my Aunt Jill in her Thunderbird and we were thinking "where the hell are Joe's vocals? Is the tape screwed up?" Well, it appears I was the one who was screwed up!!!!! "Guilty" (5/5 stars) is a fast song and melodic song with a happy feel to it! It would be cool to have it in a movie! It gives you that "euphoric" mood ( that means "happy and excited")! Maybe that's why they named the album "EUPHORIA" in the first place!!! "Day After Day" (4/5 stars) is a pretty good track! Only thing I recall is the chorus, but that's good enough for me! "Kings of Oblivian" (5/5 stars) is an O.K. song that also sounds like a title for a video game (maybe that's why I gave it a 5?) But, really, it is a good song and I nice way to end the album!!! Overall, this album is awesome, and (along with "Adrenalize") should've represented the 90's sound! But, that's just the thing! If the grunge didn't appear and the 90's pop and rock didn't change and improve like it did over the decade, Def Leppard would have had nothing to mix their sound in with!!! And, hence, this album would never have been born with the sound it possessed in 1999 (I was only 10, by the way)!!! A Def Leppard classic!!! One of their best!!! Get it as soon as you can!!!

 Won't leave your CD player
I bought this CD after I saw them live on this tour. I was surprized because it keeps the classic DL sound with a little modern touch to it. The CD lived in my car CD player for a long time.
