Def Leppard-Euphoria (1999)

After the creative and commercial flop that was their album "Slang", mainly due to its musical departure from their glorious past of heavy metal pop, orienting their new sound towards grunge, straightforward rock, and funk rock, the British band Def Leppard sought to recapture their former glory by releasing "Euphoria" three years later. This time, the band, comprised of Joe Elliott, Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Rick Savage, and Rick Allen, once again delivered a work brimming with compositions in their characteristic infectious and energetic hard/heavy-pop style of yesteryear. Songs like "Demolition Man", "It's Only Love", "Guilty", "Back In Your Face", and "Goodbye" re-established the Sheffield quintet among the great metal bands, while also producing one of their finest albums.
