Def Leppard's Euphoria is AWESOME!
The hit single "Promises" immediately takes you back to their glory days of the late 80's!!! There are other stand out tracks on here too, like "Paper Sun," which is hard driving rock n roll, with a classic "layered" Def Lep chorus. I've been a Def Leppard fan for a long time, and i must say, Upon listening to Euphoria, this cd definately ranks with some of their best. Other stand outs are "Guilty" "21st Century Sha-la la la girl" "Day After Day" "To Be Alive" and "Back In Your Face. " If you are a Def Leppard fan, then you really do need to pick up a copy of this cd, because you most certainly WON'T be dissapointed!.


Commercial rock heaven!
I love this album and think it's a great companion to Hysteria and fits in nicely with Def Leppard's best. Do you love music with heavy production and huge vocal harmonies? Are you always looking for songs with massive hooks? Then this is the album for you! This has everything a fan of heavily produced commercial rock could ever want. The whole album is essential listening and I can happily recommend it to fans of this genre.


Tactful use of the "skip" button on your CD player can turn this into a 10-track, five-star Def Leppard CD!
About 2/3 of this album really delivers to the fans of "Hysteria" and "Adrenalize", but it suffers from the Aerosmith-Nine-Lives syndrome of watering down a great hard rock album with way too many mediocre ballads. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars as is. The 8 rockin' songs are fine examples of Def Leppard's lush signature pop-metal sound, with plenty of energy and fun, while several of the 5 slower songs are more a modern alternopop that I don't care for. "Promises" is a decent ballad - it could have come off of "Adrenalize". .


IF YA DON'T HAVE IT, YA GOTTA GET IT!
I've bought every release as soon as it came out since "high 'n dry" so I have been through the ups and downs with the band. In light of the latest release "songs from the sparkle lounge" I felt the need to write this review. When they stick to what they do best as with this release they are as close to a perfect rock band as any. Sparkle lounge to me sounds way too much like the experimental "slang" and "x" for my liking.

Just listen to "paper sun" or "day after day" or "promises" and you'll see what I mean, they would easily fit in to any pre-slang album. No silly sequencing or goofy electronic drum kits just pure straight ahead ROCK AND ROLL! PLEASE GUYS, STICK TO WHAT YOU DO BEST, TRUST ME IT IS WHAT THE FANS REALLY WANT TO HEAR!.


Good 80's Style Effort
Well, they pretty much succeeded. So after putting out an interesting and diverse album such as "Slang" during the tail end of the Grunge movement the boys figured it was safe enough in the late 90's to recapture some of their 80's fans with a full-out 80's rock album. There are some great rock songs like "Demolition Man", "Promises", "Paper Sun", "Guilty", "Day After Day", and "Kings of Oblivion" but then there are weird tunes that don't quite find the mark such as "Back In Your Face" and "All Night". Unfortunately they throw a couple "Adrenalize" style ballads on here as well which really drag down the album. However, if you're quick on the skip button this is a very enjoyable Def Leppard album and falls in line nicely with their 80's material.
