euphoria ne good?

just wandering what you all think of Def Leppard's euphoria album is it worth buying hopefully it isn't as bad as X and Slang

I didn't like it at all except the 2 Hysteria sounding songs. It's in my trade list if that tells you anything.

It's not bad, but not as good as the early stuff. It does have some good songs on it - i wouldn't call it pt 3 of the "ia" trilogy like DL did when it came out. It's better than X and 100 time better than Slang (I won't add slang to my collection because I think it so aweful)

Slang is a great album! A little different, a lot less produced than we expect from DL, but it's a very solid album. I don't know why so many people have issues with it. And Euphoria, I think, is a killer album! Top 5, at least, out of DLs catalog. It blows X away!

I agree, but 1-4 are On Through The Night , High N Dry, Pyromania, & Hysteria. You can't compete with those gems, in my book.

I think Euphoria is right there with them. It's hard to compare the first two to Pyromania and Hysteria, really, but I definitely think Euphoria is a great album. Every song, I think, is classic post Pyromania material, except for "All Night," which is clearly an experimental track. But even that song is very good. Day After Day, Paper Sun, and Kings Of Oblivion are very much in that epic Def Leppard style, like Die Hard (The Hunter) or Billy's Got A Gun.

I thought DL established themselves as still a rock band to be reckoned with on that album, but then they went and shat all over it with X and it's many outside songwriters.

Euphoria is definitely a buy. I digged it upon first hearing when it came out, but I admit, I was a little disappointed. I listened to it about a year and a half ago all the way through on a long car ride and it's a great album. Gosh, I love 'Promises'. Good for them on going gold with that album.

Does it compare to Hysteria & Pyromania? Of course not. They could never top that, but it's still a great Def Lep album and shouldn't be passed up.

DEFINITELY above and beyond that awful X album.

I agree, only two or three good songs. I think their tribute to the 70s albums YEAH!!! is far better.

It's definately worth buying. I enjoy it from time to time.

From the song or two I heard, it stunk. But Anthrax - State of Euphoria is definitely worth checking out!

You fuckers are angering their #1 fan!!

Eyesore, I believe we respond to Action...Not Words. Don't leave us High N Dry with just Me and My Wine. C'mon Let's Get Rocked and Kick Love Into Motion. Or are you just Another Hit N Run? Mirror Mirror Look Into My Eyes do I look Wasted? No No No. I ain't Foolin', I have Stagefright. One day you're gonna have to Answer To The Master. Yeah!!
