Free Music Notes for Euphoria
Free Music Review: Getting back to their roots--about time, too!
Hit: 5 Stars
After the dismal 'Slang' came out, which seemed their way of bowing to pressure and recording what everyone else was doing instead of what made them who they are today, well, if you've heard it, you know what I'm talking about. 'Euphoria' is Lep's way of reclaiming their roots (i.e. 'Pyromania' & 'Hysteria') and while they've got a LOOOONG way to go before being able to pull THAT one off, at least they are off in the right direction. Starting things off is the hard-driving 'Demolition Man' and I have to admit, this song is Leppard at their rockin' best. 'Back In Your Face' is what I like to call their latest version of 'Rock of Ages/Pour Some Sugar/Let's Get Rocked'. It seems that ever since 'Pyromania' there has been one track on each album that stands out as THE ROCK/Radio-friendly song, and on this outing, I believe that song is 'Back In Your Face'--all in all an actually pretty decent tune--and incredibly catchy, too. THE STAND-OUT song of this ENTIRE CD has GOT to be, 'Paper Sun'. At first as it started it reminded me of 'Die Hard The Hunter' from the 'Pyromania' days, but whoa!! Hold on, this is something entirely different...and easily one of THE ALL-TIME BEST Leppard tunes to date. VERY outstanding, indeed. As I heard this song the first time it felt as though I was experiencing the Def Leppard of old. In MY opinion, this entire CD is worth it for this song alone...but thank the Good Lord it isn't the only reason why 'Euphoria' is worth buying. A great return to what made them hard rocks most enduring and easily best group. If you enjoy pure rock 'n roll, this CD WILL fill the bill. On a side note, I've been TRYING to see Def Leppard since 1981 when I first discovered them with 'High 'N Dry' but for some reason NEVER was able to get tix to one of their shows, or I was too broke or had to pay bills etc. Well I made my dream come true earlier this year when I saw their 'Euphoria' tour, and I was expecting that after all these years of screaming on stage Joe Elliot would sound like AC/DC after a bad yelling match...but I was incredibly amazed at how preserved his voice sounded, crisp and in only one song sounded like he was straining. Oh, and if you get a chance to go, DO IT!! They are worth the price of admission if only to hear 'Two Steps Behind' live. I pulled some strings at the record company and secured some backstage passes, too. Met all the boys except Rick Allen who was tired and went to take a nap immediately after the show. Nice bunch of blokes. I even called up my sister-in-law (who is one of their biggest fans) and had Joe say a few words to her. It was a lifetime dream come true--and GOOD NEWS!! They PROMISED that there WOULD in fact BE a NEXT time, too! I for one plan on being first in line for that one as well. Rock on Leppard!
Euphoria Poster
Australian edition of the hit British rocker's 1999 outing with two unmarked bonus tracks added, 'Worlds Collide' & 'Under My Wheels'. 15 tracks total, also featuring the singles 'Promises' & 'Goodbye'. 1999 release.Tongue firmly in cheek, Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott once referred to his band's wildly successful anthemic hard rock as "deep and meaningless." Indeed, while peers of the Sheffield punters were scrambling to embrace successive waves of punk, new wave, alternative, and post-whatever, the Leps stayed true to their arena-rock roots and became one of the most successful, if least hyped, bands of the 1980s and early '90s. Only their 1996 album Slang bowed to market trends; its disappointing showing only spurred a return to familiar form on Euphoria. The band also brought producer and de facto sixth band member Robert "Mutt" Lange back into the fold for a trio of tracks, including "Promises," a seamless wall of hooks that outshines even the band's Pyromania and Hysteria prime. And if the Lep-Lange lineup bats only .333 (faltering on the goofy, Prince-ly funk of "All Night" and the bubble-gum pop of "It's Only Love") this inning, they redeem themselves with balladry that beats post-Diane Warren Aerosmith at their own game ("Goodbye") and enough glossy energy ("Demolition Man," "Back in Your Face," "Day After Day," "King of Oblivion") to reclaim their strange niche on the pop plateau midway between AC/DC and Abba. Though they've largely been left out of the critical debate, Def Leppard long ago established their credentials as power-pop monsters with the public. All that's left for the pundits to decide is: Def Leppard--band out of time or band for the ages? --Jerry McCulley
