Euphoria (Limited Edition) [CD On Demand] - Def Leppard

Advantages: Great Music
Disadvantages: Don't hear them much anymore,not much airplay

...I have loved Def Leppard since I was about 11 years old, much to the fustration of my parents, who used to get a headache from the noise emerging frommy bedroom, Hysteria was my favorite album and I played it over and over again until I wore my tape out, I immediatly brought Adrenalize when it was realised and gave my mum and dad even more of a headache as I had a much better Hi-Fi (poor parents) I had left home when Def Leppard released Vault, and I again went out and brought this album and by this time I had a C.D player, so the sound was much better quality, It had a collection of all my favorite songs, and there was not one track I disliked, Joe Elliot and the boys have such a distinctive sound, and you can immediatly recognise their songs, Its just a shame you don't hear to much of them now. I still particually go for the songs... Read review

Advantages: Shows the Leppard at their best
Disadvantages: Forgotten by others

...Yet another favourite Def Lep album of mine, and also another forgotten album. It is barely remembered by people and that really annoys me. After their album 'Slang' was dismissed by fans, they weren't sure what to do. they got their old pal Mutt Lange to help them out and this is what they got. Something awesome. This is the album that is so relatable it is actual weird. Every song has always helped me when I've felt down, wasn't sure what to do or anything like that. You know you're really into a band when you actually understand what the songs mean. It has my all time FAVOURITE song by the band here. The first time I heard, 'Promises', it was love at first hearing! The song is just totally me. It's just about people wanting you to promise to commit and you just think NO THANKS. It's great in the joky way it projects that and I... Read review

Advantages: It's distinctively Def Leppard
Disadvantages: They're trying to recapture former glories

...sounding effects - not from the 70's disco age, but from the Stock-Aitken-Waterman school of disco, from the 1980's. The band tried something similar with "Slang", the title track from 1995's "Slang" album, and it sounds so unlike Def Leppard that it sticks out, but not in a good way. Fortunately, it's the shortest track, and only lasts for two and a half minutes. "Cry" has a great rock guitar, but the vocal is distorted, a little like "Truth?", again from 1995's "Slang". As that was, in my opinion, Def Leppard's worst album, it's not a well-received inclusion. "Girl Like You" has a vocal that wouldn't sound too out of place as an American TV theme tune, which is not meant as a compliment, and by the time the chorus comes in, it would again fit quite nicely on "Slang", or perhaps 1999's "Euphoria". NME described this track as a "Hard... Read review
